I invested $35,000 into the stock market...

I think I have a bit of a problem. So as

of now, I currently have £27,000

invested into the stock market. That's

about $35,000, and it's almost over

half of my total savings. It's a little

bit worrying, and I'm not sure how I got

to this point where I have nearly over

half of my earnings in the stock market.

I first started off just investing a

couple hundred pounds after my sister

recommended me this app, and £200

became £400, and then I added another

£200, and I thought, oh, why don't I just

round it up to £1,000? And then I rounded

that up to £2,000, and then I just added

£5,000 and then another £5,000 until

eventually I reached the grand total of

£27,000. It's a little bit scary.

I guess you would think, but for some

reason I don't really feel scared. And

I've just put thousands of pounds into

companies that have been recommended by

random stock analyst YouTubers. And

surprisingly, these stocks that I've

invested in, a few of them are doing very,

very well. And if Biden becomes the next

president, they're going to do even

better. So I'm actually on track to to

making a possible $1,000

this month on the stock market alone.

Now, when I first started getting

interested in the stock market, my first

initial goal was I'm not really expecting

to become rich overnight. And if I can

make a couple hundred dollars every month

to help pay for the bills and pay for the

rent, then that would be great. And on my

first month in October, I managed to sell

my Pinterest stock and I made $176. And

then already in November, I've made about

$170. By selling my shares in this

pharmaceutical company called AbbVie,

which shot up in value about a week ago.

And now I'm on track to making about

$1,000 in November in

addition to that $170 I made from AbbVie.

Now I feel like this is starting to become

a little bit of a worrying problem. I'm

enjoying this whole stock market thing way

too much. I haven't felt dopamine hits in

my brain like this. I haven't felt this

excited since my channel blew up in 2018

and my videos actually used to get views.

But when I wake up in the morning and I

check the stock market and I see things

are going green and I've got +30% in

gains, it is the most exciting feeling

and sensation that I've had in a very,

very long time. And And I'm starting to

get a little bit worried that I'm enjoying

this a little bit too much. I've invested

so much money onto the stock market and

I'm not worried at all. And I'm just

hooked on the idea of seeing those numbers

go green. And all I can think about now is

how can I make more money by doing other

things? How can I increase my earnings so

I can invest more money onto the stock

market and get more shares and more

companies and more gains. Just want more.

All I can think of is I need more money so

I can sink it straight into the stock

market. I was always kind of skeptical

about getting involved, getting started on

the stock market because I had a pretty

bad perception of it. I heard lots of

these horror stories about people losing

loads of money, losing their life savings

on it and going into financial ruin, and

that scared me a little bit. But I feel

like I'm not going to— that's not going to

happen to me because I'm not going to be

really risky. I'm not going to put

£100,000 onto one stock. I'm not doing

this leverage stuff either, so I don't

feel like I could lose a massive amount of

money all at once. And to be honest, this

wasn't really what I planned on doing when

I thought about getting involved with the

stock market. My initial plan was I was

going to invest long term and I was going

to invest in stable companies that are

already established, that pay a dividend.

And I wanted to get some passive income

from dividend stocks. And I've put

half my money into dividend stocks when

really I should have put all of it into

dividend stocks. But in the end, I ended

up kind of day trading. I bought shares in

random companies that I thought were going

to do well. Some of them did do well and

they rose by about 20% and I cashed out,

got a couple hundred dollars here and

there. But then other companies that I

invested in have not really done well or

they've gone down into the red and I'm

kind of stuck with them. And if I sell

now, I'm going to lose money. So I can't

sell and I have to hold on and hope for

the best, hope that they eventually go

back up in value. And now I've started

getting addicted to these smaller growth

companies. In the stock trading community

on YouTube, everyone usually starts

talking and raving about some new stock

they found that is exploding and has huge

future potential. And I'm starting to

follow these channels on YouTube and I've

put a lot of money. I've put a couple of

thousand pounds on some of these Chinese

companies that are being hyped up. And if

I cashed out now, I could probably make

$1,000. But I don't want to cash out now.

I want more money because I'm greedy. So

I'm going to hold on to it and hope that

it's going to go up even more. But the

risk is if I don't sell now, what if it

drops and doesn't go back up again? Then

I've lost my money. But what if I sell now

and then it keeps on going up and then

I've just missed out on more money? This

is the problem with trading on the stock

market. You just don't know when is the

best time to sell, when is the best time

to hold. It looks like it's going to keep

going up, so you hold, and then the next

day it drops and then you kind of feel

stupid for not selling when you could have

made a lot of money. So yeah, in

conclusion, I think I'm addicted to the

stock market. I've plunged $35,000 of my

life savings into it already, and I'm

thinking about putting even more money

onto it, and I'm gonna be broke soon. So

yeah, thanks for listening. Goodbye.

Hello and welcome back to a new episode of

Cooking with Daniel. So today I'm going to

be making pan-fried salmon.

Look at this salmon, nice and orange.

And I've got some broccoli bits and green

onions, red peppers. We're gonna stir-fry

Some of it, not all of it, because that's

quite a lot, quite a lot of vegetables

there. And we also have some leftover rice

from yesterday, not much, but should be

Okay, so first, what should I do? Should I

cook the salmon first? Or fry the

vegetables first?

Hmm, I think I'll cook the salmon now.

Yeah, good idea.

Fire on.

Okay, so we've got the salmon in the pan.

I like to put it on the side because

why not?

Turn the heat down a little bit,

otherwise it's gonna burn. We don't want

burning.

That is the

rice. I put

the rice in the microwave.

Okay, let me have a look.

Um,

yeah, it looks pretty good.

Okay, for seasoning, we've got some black

pepper and some table salt.

Black pepper on that side,

table salt on this side,

and then get your forko.

Can't get the camera close enough.

Uh, yeah, you want to flip it onto the

other side.

Stuck. This happens sometimes, but it's

fine.

Wow, look at that golden

brown vegetables

in. Um, how should I do this? Just grab

it. Like that.

You want some onions too,

uh, green onions maybe.

Look how colorful the broccoli is. I love

broccoli. Don't you love broccoli too?

Really? Wow, that's fascinating.

Please tell me more about how

much you love broccoli. Whoa, the salmon

is sizzling!

I just turned on the microwave for the

rice.

Oh wow, the wok sauce smells very good.

Jumbo light pitting.

Oh, it's Is it spicy?

2 pepper spicy rating. Uh-oh,

it's gonna be spicy.

Oh, it's pretty liquid as well. I thought

it'd be thicker like my salmon.

Okay, now I can add the sauce.

Yeah, it's like jelly.

Looks a bit like jam,

chili jam.

It is like jam, it's like a jelly

consistency, just like Uncle Roger loves.

I'm gonna turn up the heat. It's going a

It was still a bit pink in the middle, so

I had to break it up. That's why it looks

like this, but it should be fine.

That's the annoying thing about salmon,

it cooks really fast on the outside and

then it doesn't cook on the inside.

Yeah, it should be fine. And that is how I

make my famous salmon and broccoli dinner.

Look at that delicious
