Carbon capture from the air technology seems to be gaining traction and some serious investment from some big companies. Latest estimate is the cost to solve climate change is $10 Trillion by 2050. 2 main players in Switzerland and Canada. We can do it ???? here is the article.

This is probably the most boring option suggested but a well-constructed portfolio over the long term is a great option (there is this guy called Warren Buffet who recommends this method 😉

This is a FREE site https://portfoliocharts.com/

It has a huge amount of free information (including already done portfolios https://portfoliocharts.com/portfolios/) and a range of statistical measures (in nice dashboards) which if you spend the time to understand, you can choose the right portfolio for your risk tolerance and time horizon.

For instance, it statistically compares how portfolios perform against one another. One of the interesting comparisons is seeing how a selected portfolio performs against just investing in something like the S&P500 only (i.e. 100% stocks). You will see the huge differences in max drawdowns and years spent in drawdown etc. (spoiler alert 100% stocks is not great for this). A well-constructed portfolio will have little to none of this.

The analogy the website uses is that a portfolio is like a cake mixture. Each ingredient on its own might not taste all that nice (like a raw egg, flour, butter etc.) but when combined together they make something really great.

The stats are a bit heavy but well worth diving into to understand the expected variances of a particular portfolio – and especially how they objectively compare to one another (this is the most powerful feature in my opinion). Some of the broad concepts like the cake recipe analogy above are great for kids to understand.

My favourites in there are:
The Golden Butterfly https://portfoliocharts.com/portfolio/golden-butterfly/ (which admittedly has likely been curve fitted to past data to look very good)

The All Seasons Portfolio (by the legendary Ray Dalio) https://portfoliocharts.com/portfolio/all-seasons-portfolio/

I would imagine within 5-10 years this will be in VR 😉

But I do not know of any tool currently that does this but it sounds a cool idea.

Hey Carl. ARK Invest has created a number of ETFs of which they own huge positions in Tesla. There is a guy with a really great YouTube channel that talks about them https://www.youtube.com/c/TickerSymbolYOU/videos with bite-sized 20-minute videos summarising ARK information releases. Basically, ARK’s strategy is investing in technology companies where they have a high conviction that their product/service will disrupt in 5-10 years. ARK has a different approach to most funds, in that they believe in making ALL of their research publically available as they believe the community is what drives growth. A bit like The Network 🙂

Here is the one about Tesla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzTS6Nz8ATQ
