The podcast to help you make the most of your money
What should you do when your investments start losing money?
One member of the Be Clever With Your Cash community recently invested £300 for the first time. Three weeks later, it was worth £295. Not a huge loss, but enough to make them wonder whether investing was really for them.
And with stock markets having a turbulent week following the US Mid-terms, it’s a question plenty of investors might be asking themselves.
So, in this episode of Cash Chats, we’re looking at what to do when your investments fall, when you should consider selling, and how to avoid making decisions in a panic.
We’ll also explore why so many UK savers are nervous about investing, what risks you need to understand before getting started, and whether investing is actually right for everyone.
Plus, with the government keen to get more of us investing, could its plans really make a difference?
