MoneyWeek videos are designed to help you become a better investor, and to give you a better understanding of the markets. They’re aimed at both beginners and more experienced investors.
In all our videos we explain things in an easy-to-understand way. Some videos are about important ideas and concepts. Others are about investment stories and themes in the news. The emphasis is on clarity and brevity. We don’t want to waste your time with a 20-minute video that could easily be so much shorter.
We’ve already made over 200 financial videos and we add more each week. You can see the full archive here at MoneyWeek videos.

cquinnable - yeah I got out of bed the wrong side that morning! Angry at the poor quality of most financial education - yes. That's why I am putting these videos up. Hopefully they shed some light on key topics for newcomers and more experienced investors alike.

[@patrickfinn7041]

Great video! Most people think being financially secure means having enough money to live on and not having to worry about money. That's just wrong. I'm glad Arthur Winchester put an end to my lossing streak I was at the point of putting the gloves down.

[@dougdebear2098]

I feel really good seeing as much regard towards Mr Winchester I too feel my investments can't go wrong. Cheers!

[@fernandasouza.k3202]

Hi Patrick! I love your review on Arthur Winchester 👌its just sad a lot would live their lives not fully comprehending the idea of investing let alone consider it.

[@007optionscableguy4]

I love the reviews here, I would love to trade with Winchester, am terrible at algorithms. How much do I need to go into stocks?

[@dougdebear2098]

@@007optionscableguy4 I can't say there really is a fixed amount to it, the trick is bigger accounts stand a better chance at growth, I started of with 3,000euros I had prior knowlege so I wasn't as skeptical

[@lorraineshelby9314]

Most people wouldn't invest till they see absolutely no risk in doing so

[@thegoonist]

also, about the clearing house guaranteeing the shares, does the CH always have to have the same shares on hand in case the deal falls through? or do they guarantee to buy the same shares and hand it over to the buyer if the deal falls through?

[@nataliah4478]

Thank you, this is very useful and very nicely explained.

[@TechnomTigerGeek]

thanks im planning to take economics in college and this is a great section to learn

[@prisj3040]

From the US, but thoroughly enjoy learning about finance through your channel. Question for you: at 4:36 you state that the investor provides a "sell instruction" to the broker. But isn't the lender the buyer and the borrower the seller?

[@Os_-tw4ot]

Your Videos are extremely clear....thank you

[@guyriches6363]

Great Videos, Plain English...I have to say I am learning a lot from your videos. Keep up the excellent work.

[@ArtyBoney]

A question with reference to order book - Do the buyers set a price range or fixed value? E.g. if you're selling at 2.01£ per stock and the buyer sets 2.00£, does this technically mean that they won't get matched?

[@benjaminnicholasking7222]

The trades that are done electronically is it called "over the counter?"

[@hatimaboulouyoune2371]

Thank you :D this is so useful

[@jannahGcourk34]

You know when you said settlement are registered whne you buy and sell is that for investor. Like if you an investor and doing that your bit is getting registered?

[@RipleyInc]

Excellent content. You explain this all so well. So useful.

[@TheDuygu89]

Tim your a great teacher, and you definitely made learning easier...however just want to know if you are financially well off, as I won't take advice of someone who isn't financially well off

[@asani7087]

Great videos,,, informative many thanks

[@thegoonist]

can i ask why the guarantee is needed? isnt there legal recourse? sue the guy? or is it just for convenience, since lawsuits take a long time? i would think the threat of a lawsuit, especially in a reputable jurisdiction like the UK, would be enough...

Does this have anything to do with Forex? Thanks for the video, I am a newbie in Forex and i've been hopping from videos to videos trying to exposed myself more to about Forex. That's how I come until this video.. Haha.. A friend actually asked me to try GDMFX, but I am unsure and still browsing around. So if anyone know if this GDMFX is a good platform for a newbie to start, do let me know. Thanks and cheers~

[@renatol585]

Where can I find what the "multiple" of a stock is and it's earnings. FOr example, Stock X is trading at 20 times earnings, it is under bought. I hear it all the time but not sure how to find.

[@maratmkhitaryan9723]

I think you are taling about PE ratio. You can find such information in the "value investor" book.

[@Musgot]

Brilliant!

[@souleymanebah8339]

What does the stock exchange gain in all this ?

[@Glorfendal]

+souleymane bah Generally they make their earnings through a listing fee, which increases with increasing size or value of the shares being sold

What is a share?I've forgotten.

He makes it sound like there's very little risk in stock market investment, which is wrong because the safest investment is inflation resistant government savings bonds. And they're not even risk free either.

[@mansoor2405]

it is useful

[@Turklean]

Why don't you explain what is share means as well since it covers the question.

[@thomaschristopher1583]

A lot of videos and had talk makes it look easy but never like we think it.
