The phrase “all their money” gives me the creeps. Throughout my life I’ve heard that line followed by something completely ridiculous. Some examples:

• “He made all his money from property.”
• “They made all their money from GNLD.”
• “He made all his money from farming.”

The phrase also goes the other way, except this time it’s true.

• “They lost all their money when their business failed.”
• “He lost all his money in property.”
• “They lost everything in an investment.”

The key message I got from Simon’s recent conversation with Charles Savage is that users remain uninvested because they are afraid of losing all their money. The bigger problem is that people misunderstand what the stock market is and how you make money from it.

In this episode, we attempt to explain how you make and lose money in the stock market. We follow that with why it’s very unlikely that you’ll make, or lose, ALL your money by investing.

Win of the week is Shane, for sending my favourite email of the week.
