“Don’t lose money” advises investing legend Warren Buffett. But how? This week I focus on a chart that contains a vital clue.

I mean it when is say, you have surpassed all professors and teachers I have ever come across. You have an almost magical approach of breaking down concepts of all difficulty levels. God bless your sole. This world is lucky to have people like you.

Interesting chart at 4:27 I gather the Barclays study is limited to the Uk market? Have you got references for data on the other stock markets? e.g. for Japan I don't think that the total return index has got back to the level of 1989, so 28 yrs have not been enough to recover in Japan's case.

Tim, you made some great videos on all the ratios but could you do an explanation on when to use the right ratios? I find it difficult to valuate insurance companies, whilst holdings and consumer staples are easier with the ratios you have taught us, in my opinion.

I have a Nucleus/Tatton wrapper, and I get notifications when stocks are bought or sold. Thing is, this is performed by finance experts, and I have no idea what is happening, but generally, the value goes up over time.

right but you have to start early to stay this long in the market, what if you are already in your fifties??

[@ilovetiananmen]

stay alive

It's like saying to a driver "don't go off road". Great advice... but useless in fact.

[@KillikFinanceVideos]

Yeah, but many of the reasons people don't do as well as they should over the long-term is they don't have the right approach. It's one of the things I dislike about Apps - they can instill a short-term mindset. The fact you can buy and sell quickly and cheaply doesn't mean you should...

Time in the market u can only do this if ur already rich! How many investments can u make with £1000? 1,2,3 maybe. And turning £6000 into £600,000 might sound impressive but its not even the rate of inflation! A house worth £6,000 in 1971 is worth over £1,000,000 today! Best investments if ur not rich is buying a house.
