It's Episode 5, we're back, still dreaming of a return to the top 10 of the investing podcast charts.

In what has been a pretty flat week for markets we take time to look at why thinking long term is so important when it comes to investing. 

We take inspiration from the longest of long term investors - Warren Buffett.  This weekend he updated investors at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting.  We review the news from the meeting and ask is Warren Buffett still thinking long term at age 89?  What action has he taken since the outbreak of Covid-19 and hear his market prediction!

With the words of Warren ringing in our ears we look in more detail at why long term investing is so powerful.
We look at the power of doing nothing,
the importance of not acting on instinct,
the impact of missing just 5 days of investing in 20 years;
and how time in the markets beats timing the markets.

Finally, we look at why impact investing is naturally suited for a long term outlook.
Why we call impact investing 'investing for the future';
and how impact investing can help you stay the course and avoid panic selling in bad times.

Remember when investing your capital is at risk and that this podcast is not financial advice or an offer to invest.
