Making Investing Simple

Peter is a practical genius! In each episode of The Long Term Investor he uses examples that I can easily relate to. His fact based approach helps put emotion aside and invest more confidently. I definitely recommend this podcast whether you are 16 or 61!

Note- when Peter says he responds to emails, he means it! He also took the time to speak to call me about my questions with no selling. I’m sleeping better at night with less worrying over money matters.
