Why now is never the right time to invest.
About this episode
The episode discusses why it's never the right time to invest, especially during chaotic times, by analyzing past market crashes.
This one is for anyone who has looked at the state of the world lately and thought: maybe I'll just wait until things settle down... Vic and Soph recently spoke at The London Business School and someone in the crowd asked this question… “Given the state of the world - wars, oil, tariffs etc... do you really think it’s a good time to be investing?” And honestly? We know a lot of you are feeling the same way. In this episode we went through the five biggest market crashes of the last 30 years. What actually happened? How long it took to recover? And why when the world is chaotic (like right now), you should be ignoring your instincts when it comes to investing! Soph is joined by Fran (a returning fan-favourite guest). She is a chartered accountant and finance director - the two look at the biggest market crashes the stock market has ever seen, and how to stay the course when every instinct is telling you to not invest right now. Whether you're brand new to investing or deep in the markets and quietly panicking, this one's a reminder that boring, consistent, and long-term strategy always wins. Watch the first episode with Fran here…
