You have to do it far enough back for them to process it. Or just ring your bell and let them choose. Headphones always get a repeated bell.

If your going too fast for that to work, then you are going too fast, slow down around other people if there isn't space.

    It can be very useful for quick actions when you don't have a mouse.

    Mine is convertible to tablet mode, which is actually really useful when cooking etc or in small spaces.

    Probably wouldn't have a problem buying one without a touch screen though.

    Check what funds it's invested in, most US or Global indexes/funds will have significant AI/tech exposure as it's so valuable.

    Proper investment platforms will have an "x-ray" view that shows you what you actually own between all of your funds, this can be useful to understand what you are currently invested in.

    Look for regional or industry specific funds and spread money between them. (You want quite a few if your doing this to spread risk)

    Bonds (loans for countries and big companies) are traditionally safer and drop less in recessions, however many governments are already in a lot of debt and the risk of another bank crisis could effect their value significantly. Bonds also lose value when interest rates go up, so if inflation continues to go up they become dangerous too.

    Cash is fine unless your bank goes bust, and if it's that tits up, do you trust your government's deposit guarantee?

    Gold can be ok short term, but it's already up a massive amount and could drop like a stone if things DON'T go bad.

    Nothing is foolproof, otherwise everyone would be doing it, best is to spread your risk so your not all in on something.
