Stocks or Cash? The Middle Ground Most Investors Overlook

What if you could capture most of the stock market's returns while experiencing significantly smaller losses during market downturns? In this episode, we analyze 53 investments across 13 market sell-offs to uncover the surprising middle ground between cash, bonds, and high-risk equities. Discover how defensive stocks, low-volatility ETFs, and investment-grade bonds have historically performed during market crashes—and why some investments have delivered roughly 75% of stock market returns with only half the drawdowns. We'll also explore what these findings mean for investors seeking greater portfolio stability and more consistent options income.

Your Pension Is Being Looted

Use this checklist to see how much they are taking: https://checklist.investlikeapro.co.uk/ What if I told you that having your money managed for you in a work pension or by an IFA or a wealth manager could be costing you hundreds of thousands of pounds over your lifetime? And what if I told you that most of these managed portfolios underperform the market anyway, even before the high and hidden fees? I'm saying this as someone who spent over two decades as a professional investor, including managing money at JP Morgan. I've been on the inside of this industry, and I know exactly how it works with all the fees and the hidden fees that people pay.
