| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 521 of the Money to the Massive podcast with your resident expert as always, |
| 0:06.1 | Damien Faye and meet Andy Links. Damien, welcome back. How are you doing? I'm good, Andy. And last week, |
| 0:12.0 | we had a bit of a break from the heavy topics like investing. So this week on the podcast, |
| 0:17.7 | we're going to do something that's very much investment focused it's going to be a bit |
| 0:21.7 | of a special and it's really a celebration of the 50k portfolio that i've been running which is |
| 0:28.0 | just about to turn into a hundred thousand pounds so i always refer to this as the 50,000 pound |
| 0:34.1 | portfolio that i run life on 8020 investor. Very soon, I probably need to just change |
| 0:38.8 | how I refer to it and call it the 100K portfolio. And I've been doing it for more than a decade now. |
| 0:44.5 | And I don't know anybody else out there that runs a portfolio live or has run one for 10 years |
| 0:51.9 | to prove the investment process that they use actually has merits and |
| 0:57.0 | works in the real world. There's lots of people out there that talk theory about how to invest, |
| 1:01.8 | but this is putting things in practice, which is why I started it back in 2015. So we're over |
| 1:08.1 | 10 years of running 80, 20 investor in my portfolio. And like I say, we've |
| 1:13.1 | nearly doubled the portfolio to 100,000 pounds. And what actually happened is the last |
| 1:19.1 | portfolio review I did for 8020 investor members was about a week ago. And Justin always double |
| 1:26.5 | checks the articles and the emails before I send them out |
| 1:30.2 | and he turned around and said to me, and for those of you don't know, Justin is my twin and one |
| 1:35.2 | in the other directors in Money to the Masses. So he was checking the content of the article just to |
| 1:41.1 | make sure there's no errors in there. And he turned around and said to me, why the hell do you not shout about this? Because you're absolutely smashing it. And so in true seeing when you're winning, and I mean, I have been winning for the decade I've been doing it. But at the moment, we are hitting new all-time highs on the portfolio. And I thought you know what you and I Andy don't talk enough about |
| 2:01.8 | things like the podcast we're a little bit too modest and try and promote it we hope things happen by |
| 2:07.1 | osmosis we don't talk enough about things like 80-20 investor in great detail or even the money |
| 2:13.4 | so our new AI financial guidance engine it's been on the, but we do just mention it from time to time. |
