What To Invest In 2021 UK

It’s 2021 and despite the chaos in the world around you there are still plenty, and I mean plenty, of things you can invest in to make some extra money.

So sit back, grab a coffee and join me in yet another no nonsense PVT post as I share exactly where I’m putting my money in 2021.

The inevitable fallout of the CoNvid is seemingly all pervasive. At least, you’d certainly think so if you went for a saunter down your local high street.

What the dystopian imagery on the TV fails to show you though is that some small groups of people are going to make a killing…

Alas! Onto investments.

What Should You Invest In In 2021 In The UK?

There are five things you should be investing in in 2021 if you want to make outstanding returns in the UK this year:

1. Cryptocurrencies
2. Productive Land
3. Precious Metals
4. Certain Equities
5. Skills

What you should invest in will depend on your context. Specifically; your timeframe and available capital. Nevertheless, I’ve included a little bit of something for everyone.

Now let us look at the WHY and the HOW and then I’ll wrap it all up at the end with a summary of what I’ve invested in for 2021.

#1. Invest in Cryptocurrencies

I don’t care about the technical capabilities of any of the thousands of cryptocurrencies out there.

I’m not interested in fungibility, gas prices or use cases.

What I care about is what other people think about these things.

Just like when I’m spreadbetting or trading equities, I stay away from the noise and the news because the only thing that really matters is sentiment. The path of least resistance. The flow. The Wu Wei.

If you take a step back from it all and create a montage of graphs showing where the money is flowing across all assets, you will find that cryptos are at the top.

And that’s why I’m investing in them. Money flows where attention goes. And right now, attention is fairly and squarely on cryptocurrencies and by extension, government digital currencies.

The existing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum (and Monero) combined with easy to use apps for the layman will act like ‘gateway drugs’ to a world of crypto and that means for the foreseeable near-term future (2 – 3 years) cryptocurrencies are only going one way – up.

As usual, it appears as though I am a few years ahead of the high street though because the reasons that made crypto the power it is today are no longer present in the world of the mainstream cryptocurrencies.

What made crypto so attractive in the early days was the idea that payments could be made and no one would know what you spent or where you spent it; and therefore no one could come after you for taxes. Crypto was supposed to be fungible. Digital cash.

This is not the case in the mainstream coins though because they’re all traceable. The very essential need for privacy is even more prescient now in a world of apparent tyranny. As this percolates into general knowledge, more and more people are going to want to escape the oversight of the system.

And that’s where privacy coins come in.

I only invest in privacy coins; those coins that are focussed around complete anonymity like Monero.

Why Anonymity?

Because people don’t like to be spied on. Simple.

As this controlled demolition of the global financial economy continues at speed, the regulation will continue to tighten as the tired and increasingly more desperate state tries to keep hold of what it can before it’s gone.

The result will be the introduction of greater scrutiny over transactions, particularly in the crypto space and if you don’t own a privacy coin like Monero, you could have your cryptos frozen or unusable.

With Monero, it is simply not possible to freeze or otherwise withhold your currency like they can with Bitcoin and that’s why I hold it.

I buy my Monero directly from private individuals using LocalMonero.co. You could also use an exchange like Binance which allows you to buy cryptocurrencies directly with your credit/debit cards or via bank transfer.

If you subscribe to my mailing list, you’ll have received my recommendation to buy yourself some Monero when it was just £40 a coin. It’s now £350. Almost 900% return!

Don’t think it’s too late to get in either. Between now and 2025, cryptocurrencies will be used as the ‘gateway drug’ to national digital currencies and that gives you at least 2 or 3 years of gains.

#2. Invest in Productive Land

Yes, if you have the capital and want to invest some of it in 2021, you should hold off on your next buy-to-let and read this first. 😁

Unemployment is going to break all records in the next 3 years; driven largely by the closure of businesses across the world as the economy implodes, central banks hyperinflate and coNvid becomes the convenient scapegoat.

As this manufactured “unprecedented” situation unrolls, pressure is going to hit real income and families are going to be under enormous strain.

Without government stimulus and incentives, house prices are unlikely to sustain their current value.

Commodities Are Increasing In Value

However, one area that will continue to increase in value is commodities. We’re already seeing this in the price of timber as supply dries up around the world and travel restrictions continue to impact the free flow of trade whilst demand outstrips supply.

Therefore, on a 5 – 10 year timeframe, investing in productive forestry land or agricultural land is a very good bet.

If you’re looking for forestry land in the UK, the UK Land and Farms website is a good place to start.

If you don’t have a chunk of capital to buy some land, don’t worry, there’s plenty more opportunities to invest in 2021.

(Or buy some cryptos and hold them until they’re worth enough to buy some land!)

#3 Invest in Precious Metals

I’ve been telling you to buy up precious metals for years and I still hold to that opinion in 2021.

Gold & Silver are a long term hold for me (5+ years) and even more specific than that, I intend to hold them through the creation of the new global world currency that is expected before 2030.

As hyperinflation draws nearer and digital currencies creep in, I see gold & silver as a reliable store of wealth for those too tentative or old fashioned to get into cryptocurrency.

I buy my gold & silver from Bullion By Post and if you spend more than £250 when you buy with this link, you’ll get a free silver coin too.

I buy coins rather than bars because coins are easier to carry and simple to exchange for value.

I expect a 20% increase in value before the end of this year.

#4. Invest in Stocks & Shares (aka Certain Equities)

Yes, we may very well be on the cusp of another great crash, perhaps the greatest crash ever recorded in taught history, but in times of great chaos, there is always great opportunity. That’s not meant to sound like a superhero quote.

2021 is no different.

If you think back to my post about trading with the flow, or if you’ve followed me for any length of time on twitter, you’ll know that I always prefer to take the path of least resistance.

And that’s exactly what you need to do now. You see, markets are not intelligent. They’re actually dumb. Or rather, the traders (generally speaking) who trade them are.

I’ve said so many times that markets don’t move because of facts, news or statistics. They move because of sentiment. That is all.

Nothing could make this more apparent than what’s happening in the markets now.

Even with job losses and money printing at all time highs across the developed world, the markets don’t appear to be factoring that in to any of their valuations.

So what does that tell you? Markets are dumb.

But that doesn’t mean they’re not full of opportunity. Taking the path of least resistance presents you with many options.

What Stocks Should You Invest in in 2021?

OK, so just because we’re about to have a crash, it doesn’t mean there’s no money to be made.

On the contrary, these are the moments in history where fortunes are made and I pointed out a few ways you can make tax free money during this plandemic a while back.

But that was a while ago; so what’s changed in 2021?

Well, The Great Reset (sponsored by the World Economic Forum) has unveiled it’s plan to reset the world.

The Great Reset is all about technology; the internet of things, robots this and AI that in a dystopian vision of the future where you will own nothing and be happy. Yes, they actually said that.

In this future world, streets are empty and drones do most of the grub work while you do your thing from your home office and your smart device reminds you to breathe slowly to cut down your carbon emissions.

In this dystopian world, how do you know which stocks to buy when it seems so unrecognisable compared to the world you’ve known?

Well, that’s the easy bit. The World Economic Forum has compiled a list of ‘New Champions’ that it sees as the movers and shakers in the world it is trying to create.

Most of these ‘champions’ are listed on stock exchanges around the world and therein lies your opportunity. The WEF has made your research easy by listing them all here.

#5. Invest in Skills

If you’re not in a financial position where you have access to much capital, then investing what you have (even if that is credit cards!) on acquiring some new skills will go a long way.

Most people don’t ever think about this when they talk about investing but what better investment is there than investing in yourself?

If you have the right skills, then it doesn’t matter about any of the currency stuff I just talked about because you can work for whatever the going means of exchange is.

There are a few places that I’d recommend you visit if you want to learn a skill that you can do from home and earn yourself some extra money:

1. Outschool
   Outschool is a training marketplace where you can be both a teacher or a student. The courses they offer are taught by real people at the other side of your screen and you can learn anything (literally, anything!) and meet new friends while you do it.
   
   Visit Outschool now and search for something you’d like to learn.
   
   
2. Udemy
   Udemy is like Outschool but the training courses are pre-recorded. They have a very wide range of courses but if you want interaction with your teacher, Outschool may be the better option for you.

What I’ve Invested In In 2021

My current investment portfolio is broken down as follows:

• Cryptocurrency (60%)
• Equities (15%)
• Precious Metals (20%)
• Spreadbetting (5%)

For the most part, I have invested heavily in cryptocurrencies.

I have done this with a short-term timeframe in mind (less than 3 years), and will hold my investments until I have enough to buy some forestry and farming land.

My crypto of choice is Monero although I do exchange between currencies if opportunity presents. If you want to know when I’m doing that, subscribe to my mailing list and my twitter account and I’ll send round updates.

The remainder of my capital is tied up in some long-term equities (Airtel Africa), precious metals and I leave aside a small portion of cash for spreadbetting opportunities.

I’m currently all in on Petropavlovsk as a spread bet long.

These are my current open positions and I intend to hold all through the rest of 2021.
