This is an educational and guidance service, not for short term day traders, gamblers or speculators. No promotions are allowed and it is not a site for financial advice.

Stocks & Shares outperform cash for the patient long term investor

Our mantra is to teach and educate everyone on the benefits of investing in a diversified portfolio of shares and stocks and to hold them for the long term. Unfortunately our education system and indeed our investment industry are poor in teaching the gospel of achieving financial security and freedom through stocks and shares. What is the result? The majority of savers leave their savings in cash, a poor long term asset. With the current level of inflation in most economies, cash is yielding negative returns. Whereas stocks and shares are perceived as risky, in reality cash is a riskier long term asset with the potential to be eroded by inflation. Cash savers miss out on the 8th Wonder of the World, according to Albert Einstein - compound interest. The compounding effect of re-invested dividends is the key to long term outperformance of shares.

A new report from Fidelity International has shown that £10,000 invested in the average UK savings account at the start of the financial crisis would now be worth £10, 461. The same amount in the FTSE all share index would now worth £16,846. Granted that past performance is no guarantee of future returns, several studies continue to show the outperformance of shares over cash for the patient long term investor. Over 40 years, it is virtually impossible to lose money on shares. Yet this message is lost on most savers who are content to leave their long term savings in cash.

We will continue to teach and educate and help anyone understand the principles of long term investment in stocks and shares. My book, "The Smart & Common Sense Investor" has been written to help the novice investor with a roadmap and a process to help them in their journey to financial security and freedom.

The Concept of Paying Yourself First

Are you saving enough for unexpected emergencies?

Are you saving enough for your retirement?

About 30% of UK households have savings of £250 or less - enough to last for just 5 days in an emergency.

Do you live from pay cheque to pay cheque, unable to make any savings?

Try and cultivate the habit of paying yourself first when you receive your pay cheque.

Set up a direct debit from your current account that takes 10% of your salary to a savings account.

It may be difficult at first but with time you will adapt and make adjustments to your expenditure to accommodate your savings.

Aim to save enough to cover 6 months of expenses.

Do not start investing without having this buffer. If not you will end up selling your investments to meet unexpected financial expenses. These emergencies are part of our life, like the sudden breakdown of a washing machine or boiler.

Learn to pay yourself first. Cultivate that habit today and watch your savings grow.

Anyone can achieve financial freedom and security. You have to actively plan for it.

Do not procrastinate. Start saving early to give you the freedom to invest.
