Welcome to Episode #174 of Stock Club with Michael O’Mahony, Anne Marie and Emmet Savage. Today, we delve into the world of long-term investing, a subject close to the hearts of finance professionals and investors.

In this episode,we kick things off by exploring the concept of long-term investing and how it has evolved over the years. We discuss the power of generational investing and its potential to mitigate taxes. You won't want to miss Emmett's story of enduring 16 years of no returns, leading to a remarkable 25% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from Microsoft since its 1986 IPO.

We present 150 years of S&P 500 data to illustrate how the odds of losses decrease as the holding period increases. Plus, we introduce you to the coffee can portfolio, a stress-busting approach to long-term investing.

We also shine a light on the shift towards short-term investing, dissecting the impact of events like the 2020 stock market frenzy and the emergence of brokerages like Revolut.

Wrapping up, we share our favourite investment books, offering invaluable insights for successful stock market navigation. From Benjamin Graham's 'The Intelligent Investor' to Peter Lynch's 'One Up On Wall Street,' these are must-reads for aspiring investors.
