Video Description

Can anyone learn to be good at investing? Toby Newbatt, a personal finance YouTuber (@TobyNewbatt), certainly thinks so. When he first started investing, he knew next to nothing and definitely made some mistakes. But over time, he taught himself what he needed to know—even reading over 40 books.

The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life. --- We talk about loads of books there so here’s a list of the ones we like: Money: A User’s Guide - Laura Whateley The Little Red Book On Investing - John Bogle A Random Walk Down Wall Street - Burton Malkiel The Psychology of Money - Morgan Housel Millionaire Next Door - Thomas Stanley Die With Zero - Bill Purkins The Richest Man In Babylon - George Samuel Clason Who Moved My Cheese - Spencer Johnson The Black Swan - Nassim Nicholas Taleb Chapters 00:00 - Intro 00:32 - How Toby Got Started 07:06 - Reading 40 Books On Investing 12:15 - Can You Beat The Market? 20:20 - Tide ad 21:19 - Market Psychology 24:39 - The Most Over-rated Piece Of Advice 30:08 - Our Favourite Books 36:47 - Who To Avoid 39:15 - Vanta ad 40:08 - Podcast Exclusive 43:45 - How We Invest 47:58 - S&P 500 vs Global 53:42 - AI 56:48 - Equal vs Market Weighted 01:00:30 - Active vs Passive 01:02:44 - Crypto 01:08:06 - The Best Thing To Invest In? 01:12:55 - Is the Market Going To Crash? 01:20:00 - Which Book Makes You Rich? 01:22:20 - How To Get Started With Investing
