I've learnt to stop looking at my S&S ISA and just let what happens, happen.

My ISA is actually for the kids (2 & 6) and they won't be going near it until they're at least 20 so I've got another 14 years of ups and downs coming my way.

Before anyone asks, I did it under my name as I don't want the money going to them once they turn 16 as I don't know if I could trust them to blow it all :D

Don't be coming in here being all sensible and stuff :D
 
So I'll be like Bob :D which was what I did with GE many years ago. I just don't have any spare cash, or ISA allowance this year, to buy in any more whilst the prices are low.

other key difference is Bobs brother somehow only made 14k over 20 years?

Nahh - even crap treasuries back in 2007 were paying around 4% he likely got back over 100k total over 20 years

Given the cash goes up and down, I think there's soemthing else to it we are missing. Perhaps cash purchase power vs inflation, because other wise how can cash bounce up and down like that.
 
it also mentioned he kept buying through all the years.
suggesting his brother didnt

is how i read it.
so a little misleading.
they started with the same cash. but didnt invest the same amount over time?

It says his brother makes the purchases of treasuries at the exact same time, meaning £10k in 2000, 2007, 2020 and 2022. I dont think the sums add up either way.

You're incorrect.

You can see the exact moment they both jump exactly 10k multiple times.

I'm sure the video is correct, but we don't understand it without more info
 
ah i didnt watch video was focused on the text. its probably why it make less sense to me.

edit i clearly didnt read text either because i missed the 4x 10k investments.
but it still says Bob continues to invest "kept buying" reading out of context sounded like purchased additional funds outside of the 10k.
5th read success i guess..

AI does make this kind of thing so easy, assuming its not making these numbers up :D

Buy a newly issued 10-year Treasury note at the S&P 500 peak, hold it to maturity, then reinvest the entire proceeds into a new 10-year Treasury at prevailing yields, with all coupon interest effectively compounded
