i am financially ruined.

Hey, so last year you may remember that I

was making quite a lot of videos about the

stock market and investing, and I was

bragging all the time about how much money

I was making on stocks. Well, I kind of

have bad news. I'm not doing very well

with the stocks recently. Well, I haven't

been doing well with the stocks for about

3 months now, and that's kind of why I

stopped making videos about the stock

market. I kind of don't like stocks

anymore. I actually feel pretty fed up

with stocks. So if you remember last year,

I made a video titled, um, I Invested

$35,000 into the Stock Market, and

everyone was calling me crazy and saying

that I was gambling my money. Uh, turns

out they were right, and I ended up losing

pretty much all of that money. And I just

feel— I feel so gutted about

it. I feel so stupid that at one point I

had about £12,000, which is, I don't know,

$16,000, $17,000. I had about £12,000

in gains, and I could have locked in the

gains and I'd be up. I would have made

like £12,000, which would have been

amazing. But I got greedy and I kept

thinking, oh no, it's gonna go up more. I

have to wait. This is a really good stock

to be in. That's why it's going up so

much. And I kept thinking, oh, I just want

to make 20,000 and then I'll sell. I want

to make 30,000 and then I, then I'll sell.

I want to reach 100,000 this year and then

I'll sell and then stop doing such risky

investing. And The greed

just kind of took over me and I refused to

sell even when I was watching it drop and

drop and drop as each month passed. It

just kept dropping because the bloody

NASDAQ is doing some kind of sell-off

correction because tech stocks are

overpriced and overvalued. That's been

going on for the past 3 months now since

about mid-February. All of my stocks took

about a 40% in some cases a 50% hit.

And my stocks were hit particularly bad

because I had very high-risk stocks. A lot

of my stocks didn't even make much of a

profit. They were just like new companies,

new startups that had a promising future,

but as of right now, they, they aren't

really making huge amounts of money, and

it's very speculative. I remember I got

into stocks first last year around October

when I was living in Rotterdam, when I was

with Mira, and when I was gaining

lots of money and my investments were

doing really well, I felt so great inside.

I felt like I'm actually good at this.

I'm— I felt like I was good at investing

even though I had only just started. I

felt like I was some kind of stock genius.

I was picking stocks and following stock

suggestions and just putting my money into

them, and then after a few weeks or a few

months they were up 10%, 20%, 30%, and I

was making thousands. And I felt so great.

I felt like I didn't need YouTube anymore.

I felt like this is my next true

calling. My next step in life is to become

like a pro stock trader, and I wouldn't

have to worry about my channel anymore. I

wouldn't have to worry about making good

videos anymore. But I guess

I was wrong. I guess I I really sucked at

doing the whole stock thing because I

couldn't see, I couldn't tell that I

should have sold when I should have sold.

And I guess I'm back on YouTube.

I guess I'm back making videos, and I'm

gonna start making better videos. Gonna

start putting effort back into the videos

like I used to. Look, got my clip-on

mic attached so you guys can enjoy good

audio. And I'm going to start filming

myself like I used to. So it's not just a

picture, or it's not just me pacing around

the room. I'm gonna try and make the video

look good so it seems like a good video.

I kind of felt sad about YouTube since

last year, October, around that time. I

just felt like I failed as a YouTuber. I

felt like I failed to, to do a good job at

entertaining you guys and Giving you

interesting stuff to watch, and I just

felt crap about my channel.

And then when I discovered stocks in the

market, I just felt like I was saved and I

could focus on my new hobby, my new

passion as a stock investor. Well, that

didn't really turn out too well, did it?

I still feel hopeful that I won't lose all

of the money. I still feel hopeful that my

stocks eventually will go back up.

Um, this week I got hit again by more bad

news because bloody Elon Musk decided to

tweet that he doesn't like Bitcoin

anymore. And guess who decided

to put the rest of his remaining money on

Bitcoin? Me. So I

was already down like $30,000. Now I'm

down even more because the Bitcoin stocks

all down as well this, this week. And I

just feel really bad because I lost the

money I got from my dad's life insurance

payout. I lost my OnlyFans money. I lost

the money that I, I earned from destroying

and sacrificing my marriage and

relationships and my dignity

and my self-respect. And that was all for

nothing now because I don't even have the

money to show for it. At least if I

sacrificed my marriage and relationships

and dignity, I could have said, yeah,

well, I've got all this money. So

whatever. I can't even say that now

because I don't even have the money. And I

lost everyone in my life, and I lost like

half my viewers on my channel because

basically, basically I said F you to the

viewers. Don't need you guys anymore

because I'm so rich from my stocks.

Well, I was wrong, and I'm sorry.

But the good news is, if you were

interested in investing, now is a pretty

good time to get started because

everything has come down so much.

Everything's very cheap and affordable.

If I was going to start investing,

I think now would be a pretty good time.

So use my link, referral link, in the

description and comments below. Even

though I lost quite a lot of money on

stocks, I'm not against investing. I'm not

against the stock market. I still think

it's a great way to grow your money, but

you have to do it properly. You can't do

it like I did it. You can't just YOLO it

all onto one or two speculative stocks.

And think you're gonna make 10x or

100x. Maybe if you're lucky and you're

quick and clever with it, but most people,

they get carried away, they get greedy,

they see the numbers going up and up and

up and they don't want to sell. And they

wait and wait and wait until it crashes,

and then it's too late to sell, and then

you're minus $10,000 something. You have

to be careful. You have to have a

diversified portfolio. You can have like

10% of it allocated towards speculative

stocks, but you need dividend stocks and

safe stocks and stable stocks and stocks

in different sectors of the business

industry and the economy. You have to

spread it out. You can't just YOLO it all

into one thing, otherwise that's no

different to gambling. And I learned my

lesson. It's been a very expensive lesson,

kind of like A $35,000 crash

course in economics and investing. Might

as well have gone to university with that

money. But yeah, it's like everyone says,

everyone's a genius in a bull market and

everyone is losing money when it's not.

Fortunately, I'm living back home in my

parents' house, so I don't really have to

worry too much about money. I'm not going

to go homeless or go hungry or anything,

but if I was still living in Rotterdam and

I had to pay for rent every month, I would

be panicking right now after losing such a

large amount of money. So I'm really

grateful that I'm back home. Yeah, so

thanks for being understanding and

goodbye.

Hello and welcome back to a new episode of

Cooking with Daniel, sorry it's been such

a long time since I made one of these.

It's just been very difficult with family

being in the house every day, all day

long. But I finally got some time alone

and I managed to cook up this delicious

looking steak, and I want to teach you how

to make the perfect steak-o.

Okay, so first thing you want to do is cut

the steak into smaller chunks so it's

easier to manage, and then apply your

seasoning. I like salt and pepper, but you

can use any kind of seasoning you like.

And here we have a big juicy tomato. I

find tomato goes very well with steak-o,

so get your scissors and cut the tomato

into manageable chunks. You don't want to

just put the whole tomato into the frying

pan. That would just be weird.

And then take the tomato, plop it into the

pan next to the steak, and let that fry up

next to it.

And let it fry for a few minutes and then

flip it over, and it should look like

this— lovely and brown. Now it depends how

long you like to cook your steak. Some

people like the middle to be very rare and

raw, some people like it to be more

cooked.

And that is pretty much all there is to

it. Once it's finished cooking, put onto

the plate and carve it into bite-sized

And there you have it, the perfect steak.
