In this video and presentation slides I have collected all the best advice from my investing books to present the easiest most simple 5 step guide to invest and why it will make your life better.

With my guide you do not need any prior investing experience because I explain everything and how you can learn more.

I will also highlight why stocks are good investments for almost everyone. Investing in the stock market is the most common way for people to gain investment experience.

My guide will also give you a taste of being your own broker and what it is like to get into investment management. Plus there now investment broker costs are lower than ever and if you DIY there are no additional costs compared to giving money to a traditional fund manager.

Whilst many brokers are racing to offer cut price brokerage charges and also index investing, I show you that if you pick your own stocks, those things do not matter.

Buying Too Many/Few Stocks

Buying Bad Ones

How to Invest Step 5: When to Sell

Again I explain in the video a simple set of rules on when to sell. This is the part that people often find the most difficult. It is very easy to buy and keep buying, then never do anything to your portfolio because you have no exit strategy. That then leads to holding too long to good stocks, or even worse, to poor stocks.
