Hey guys it's mark, so recently i've been getting more and more interested in virtual reality and the metaverse. I think it will be the next big thing for the world and for people who want to invest so they can multiply their money. It's not just me that thinks this facebook has recently changed their name to meta and other tech giants are all racing to create virtual worlds for us to play work and spend our money in good for them. But how do i invest and make money out of this? Well, that's exactly what we're going to be discussing today, i'll be breaking down why the metaverse is so exciting, how i spot investment opportunities and investing twenty thousand dollars of my own money and 5.5 of the best stocks i believe in so you can see exactly how I do it it's really important to watch this video all the way to the end as it could have a direct impact on your future.

People will be saying: where were you when mark posted this video so i'll? Give you a second to smash that, like button for the ltube euger riven okay, you done it, let's get right on with it. First, let's talk about investing with a vision. Warren buffett, one of the richest investors in the world, famously said that if he'd never sold a stock, then he would be a much richer man than he is now. Therefore, by investing in companies that fit your vision, you'll naturally have more belief in them and hold them through the good times and the bad.

If you think about it, that's the entire point of investing you're, not investing in a company for today or tomorrow. It's about the long-term growth of both the company and your money, so all we have to do is predict the future. It's as simple as that. Well, of course, that would be great just imagine if you could see 10 years into the future and invest in the next big companies you'd make a killing.

Unfortunately, we can't do that, so we have to try and make an educated guess of what our future will. Look like and invest for the long term. A great example of this is the move to renewable energies and electric vehicles. Currently, the majority of people drive gas cars as they're the most affordable option and, looking back at my racing days, they certainly sound the best too, but even i've switched to an electric car and i'm sure, as they become more affordable, more people will start buying them.

As well on top of this, there is a lot of pressure on the governments to hit reduce co2 emissions targets, so the switch to electric transport seems inevitable. Lots of people have had this vision of the future and have been rewarded generously by investing in companies like tesla and end phase energy. Imagine buying tesla, even a year ago, at four hundred 400 you'd, more than doubled your money in just a year and that's what could be next for the metaverse. I personally believe the metaverse is the next big thing that we've all been waiting for and that's why it's so important to understand research and invest as soon as possible.

Mark you sound a bit bullish on the metaverse, what if it takes over real life? Yes, that's definitely a concern. Some people may enjoy the metaphors too much that it takes over their whole life. However, i do think this is a natural progression from the internet and does have some great use cases. The booming, crypto and nfts have shown that people are ready to invest in digital assets, so i think it's only a matter of time until we see companies launching their own versions of the metaverse, i'm really excited, as this gives some already huge companies a way to Grow that we hadn't even considered before this could open them up to a whole new world of profits and opportunities, which in turn, would cause their stock value to go to the moon and investors to make huge returns.

I certainly want to be part of that. Wild ride, think of the metaphase like internet 2.0, more immersive and useful than ever before. You could hang out with friends work remotely from home but feel like you're in the office and even sell digital items all in virtual reality. The lockdowns have really accelerated and moved to vr.

As i know personally, i was doing a lot of work from home and having video meetings and it just wasn't the same as talking to people in person. The metaverse will aim to bridge this gap between technology and real-life interaction. Maybe eventually, you won't even be able to tell the difference a bit like the movie inception with so many companies battling it out to create meta-verses. It seems impossible to know which one will succeed.

However, personally, i don't think any of them will be successful on their own. Imagine using the internet, but instead of having the option to go on lots of different websites, you are limited to just facebook. Imagine the amount of karen's on there. It'll be a nightmare.

The internet has shown us that it's possible to have a free space that brings together lots of companies and that's how i see the true metaverse operating. I don't think anyone would be happy handing over their whole digital life to just one corporation. This opens up more opportunities than even i can fathom, because not just one company will benefit from the metavest. This means you don't have to be lucky and yolo your money into one winning stock.

Instead, it's a much better idea to build a diversified portfolio of companies with metaverse plans. This way, you're hedging your bets and at the end of the day they could all end up being crucial parts of the metaverse. Now, let's break down my 5.5 favorite metaverse stocks and, as i mentioned earlier, i'm going to be investing 20 000 of my own money split differently, depending on how much i like each stock. I want to do this, as i think there are too many people on youtube that talk about investing, but don't actually put their money where their mouth is.

I also think it'll be a fun experiment to build this portfolio together, so we're able to track its performance in future videos. Stock number one is unity software. It can be easy to get carried away with the idea of a metaverse, but the reality is, it hasn't been built. Yet it's kind of like the gold rush.

Many companies are trying to create the best metaverse, but only a few are providing the necessary tools. After all, without the right software, this wouldn't even be possible unity. Software is currently a video game. Software development company and they're a pretty big deal as there were 51 billion dollars, unity.

Software are responsible for a lot of popular mobile apps and video games like pokemon. Go, for example, they also have a pretty cool business model as they charge monthly subscriptions to use their software. This means that they constantly have money just rolling in something that recently caught. My eye was a unity software recently acquired weta digital's tech division, which is the visual effects studio behind huge films like avatar and lord of the rings.

This deal is said to have cost 1.6 billion dollars and could play a large role in helping unity. Take on the metaverse, this gives unity a huge advantage, as these world-class tools could allow people to create masterpieces within the metaverse. The future of the metaphase is 3d experiences and that's what weta excels at this combined with unity's already great software, and they could have the perfect building blocks for the metaverse. Their stock is currently at all-time highs, but they're beating earnings targets expanding and i think there is huge growth to come.

So i'm going to invest a thousand dollars into unity, software, which is about 700 pounds, i'm using the free trade app to invest in this video. As i'm currently in the uk, if you want to get free stock worth all the way up to 200 pound, then when you sign up just use the link in the description, if you're in the usa, then you can use the public app and they're currently giving Away a free stock worth all the way up to a thousand dollars i'll leave that link below as well stock number two is snapchat, i think it's pretty safe to say we all know what snapchat is feel free to add mine. My username is just mark tilbury, but anyway, when you think of snapchat, you might not first connected with the metaverse. However, they have always been focused on innovation and their silly filters are actually groundbreaking, augmented reality technology.

Just imagine if you could put on a pair of glasses and project digital elements onto the real world. It would be so useful for having face-to-face meetings or even holographic. Computers, like tony stark, they've, even attempted something like this before with snapchat glasses, but i think it might have been a little bit before its time. What's even more interesting is that snapchat has over 200 million daily active users with more than 50 percent being between the ages of 15 and 25..

This is important, as studies have shown, that this demographic is far more likely to experiment with augmented reality. In other words, snapchat is already preparing its users for the metaphase by normalizing, virtual and augmented experiences from an early age. Some experts even claim snapchat is way ahead of facebook when it comes to the metaverse, as they have already created, characters and plot them. On the map for everyone to see and interact with just think about it, the best features usually come out first on snapchat and then get copied by instagram.

One of the first things i was asked to do when i set up my snapchat account, was to scan my face to create a bit emoji, i'm still freaked out how handsome he is. These avatars will be a big deal in the metaverse, and i think the snapchat has nailed them before anyone else just think about it. Younger generations are getting very comfortable with this and it isn't a far-fetched idea that they will soon start buying skins to get out their avatars. Of course, this is already happening in popular video games like fortnite, but it's not just digital items.

Snapchat can start selling their augmented reality. Technology could allow you to try on a pair of sneakers without even leaving the house. Imagine if they just took a small percentage from each cell. The potential is huge, so i'm going to invest two thousand seven hundred dollars in snap, which is about two thousand pounds.

It's taken a bit of a beating recently, so i think it's going to be a good buy. Stock number three is mata port. This is a company you may not have heard of, but they specialize in digitizing the real world. Imagine how in demand this technology could be.

If you want to create a digital version of your house inside the metaverse and invite your friends over. Currently, you can place the matterport camera down on the ground, scan the inside of your property and digitize it. This allows you to perform full house walkthroughs on a computer without actually being there and, as you can imagine, this came in very useful during the pandemic. So currently we're just scratching the surface of matapol's, true potential, and it seems, like other investors, agree as since facebook rebranded as meta matterport shares have skyrocketed.

This is probably due to their existing working relationship, as in july 2021, mataport announced that it was working with facebook to build the largest database of 3d spaces in the world. This collaboration could be the first step towards something much bigger in the metaverse. The opportunities to the world are huge, mataport themselves say there are over 20 billion spaces across four billion buildings that could be duplicated online. This would offer a great way to build spaces in the metaverse that are appealing to customers.

Imagine having the ability to visit castles and mansions all around the world without ever having to leave your home. During my research, i uncovered that if mataport were to charge just one dollar to maintain a digital copy of a customer space each month, the company could be able to make more than 280 billion dollars annually. This stock really fits in with my vision of the future. So i'm going to be investing four thousand dollars, which is about three thousand pounds.

It may be a bit riskier than the others as it's a much smaller company, but i do think it has the potential for amazing growth over the next five to ten years. Stock. Number four is disney, so we're going from a small company to one of the biggest in the world and you may think how can disney get any bigger? Well, the magic phrase here is intellectual property and disney owns most of the entertainment we watch like star wars. Marvel studios and pixar films that, combined with disney world disneyland and their cruise ships, you can probably see what i'm getting at here disney could create a full-blown disneyland metaphase with all the characters and movies they own.

It would be absolutely amazing. I mean i'd still rather go to the real thing, but sometimes it's just not possible and i can definitely see the appeal in a vr version, but it doesn't stop there. There are plenty of possibilities for augmented reality, too, just imagine being able to bring disney characters to life at birthday. Parties, kids love having bouncy castles at their birthday, so why not bring their favorite characters along in ar disney brought in revenues of 65 billion dollars? In 2020, and once their metaphase ideas launched, this could drastically be ramped up.

Their business seems really stable, with disney plus for people at home, disneyland for travellers and, of course, dominating the movie theaters. A metaphor seems like the next logical step to take, because of this. I'm going to invest 5 400, which is about 4 000 pounds. To be honest, i just can't imagine a world in which disney isn't part of the metaverse stock.

Number five is my highest conviction. Play meta previously known as facebook meta seem to be paving the way when it comes to the metaverse. I mean they've literally changed their name to meta. That's a big statement to make no but seriously meta, isn't the most loved company in the world and i do agree.

Zuckerberg is a bit like a robot. Why else would he deactivate my instagram account for over three months, but we can't ignore that meta are an insanely, profitable company with a market cap of over 900 billion dollars and a 2020 revenue of over 85 billion dollars. So it's safe to say they can afford to throw money at this whole meta first thing and get it right. Metastock has taken a bit of a beating lately, but i'm taking this as a buying opportunity and since the whole meta announcement, i've been buying more and more the possibilities of monetizing.

The metaverse are endless for meta and i'm so excited to see what they'll do. Next. They also have the oculus vr headsets, which make the metaverse all the more plausible and they're already working on new stylish glasses for both ar and vr. Just think you could look as stylish as me.

Meta aren't taking things slow and have introduced horizon home horizon workrooms and more. This will allow you to create places for your friends to hang out and also work from the metaverse. At the end of the day, they are investing billions of dollars into building their metaverse and advertising. It zuckerberg actually believes that the metaverse is going to be the successor to the mobile and the internet.

So with that said, i'm going to invest six thousand seven hundred dollars, which is about five thousand pounds. If you see this zuck, think of it as a thank you for reactivating my instagram account at mark tilbury stock number 5.5 is a little bit of a bonus. One as you can't actually invest right now, epic games they've already been doing the metaverse for ages well, sort of they're, the creators of fortnite and kids basically lived on this game during the pandemic. It has also even had in-game events such as a virtual concert by travis scott, which was attended by over 12 million people.

This just shows the demand for events like this, as some of the biggest concerts only have half a million people. Of course, these were in real life, but it really shows what's possible. Epic games recently announced that they've raised one billion dollars to support their metaverse project and i can see them smashing it out of the park. Of course, epic games are not public yet so, unfortunately i can't invest in them.

It's rumored. They will be going public soon, so i'll definitely be looking to invest in them when they do so. I believe the metaverse is the next big opportunity that will change the game kind of like when the internet was created or the birth of the iphone. Just remember before you invest in any of the stocks i mentioned in this video.

Please do your own research in order for you to hold these long term through the hard times you need to really believe in them by the way. Let me know in the comments, if you'd like me, to do an update video on how these stocks are doing. I think it'd be really fun to track their performance together. So i'm going to leave the next video right here, but don't click on it just yet make sure to subscribe.
