DIY Investor Magazine Issue 29

 

 
The pandemic delivered a big boost to DIY investing; now the most common feedback we get from those new to investing, is ‘I wish I’d started sooner’.

As Gamestop demonstrated (Wolves in casual clothing take Gamestop to the next level) the Internet is an increasingly important source of information for investors, and there will always be those seeking to take advantage; Tik Tok is fast becoming the compendium for money making tips, and its reach is enormous – #personalfinancetips has 30.3bn views.
