I do think we’re heading for a downturn next year so might try and save a bit to invest in the dip next year at some stage.

I've been watching Warren Buffet interviews on YouTube. Plenty of good advice in there. He likes companies that are undervalued, and he invests in them for the long haul rather than going for a quick killing. He stays away from businesses he doesn't understand, which I think is wise. He doesn't touch crypto, he reckons it's another Dutch Tulip mania, and I agree with him. I know there's  people that got rich on the upswing, but it's one of those cases where you only hear about the boys that win, and it could put your smoke out if you get in just before the bubble bursts. Too risky for my liking, even for investing a small sum.

Berkshire Hathaway stock has never been split, so it's up to nearly half a million dollars per share now and it doesn't pay a dividend. This is deliberate to discourage speculation. There is a Berkshire Hathaway B stock that's only $326 per share, but it doesn't pay a dividend either.

If you want dividends, there's an article here about dividend-paying stocks owned by Berkshire, so you might fancy a flutter on some of them.

Stocks have already been sliding for a while, so I'm starting to get in now.
