Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money podcast. It's session number 105.

So, I was afraid you might be considering some foolish investment.

No, mother, nothing foolish.

This is the podcast dedicated to helping you put your finances in order.

My name is Pete Matthew, and I'm going to share with you everything you need to know

and everything you need to do to secure your financial future.

I'm here to help you make sense of money.

Okay, session number 105, folks, and we're going to be talking about investing, beginning a bit of a mini-series, really.

Last year's listener survey that I did around July last year revealed that building an investment portfolio was the single biggest issue that respondents to that survey struggle with. So, fear not, I'm here with an

investing masterclass. Over the next three or four weeks, I'm going to be covering the art,

I should say science, really, of investing, hopefully in enough detail that you should be able

to build your own portfolio by the

end of it. Or at least you'll know whether or not you want to embark on doing that or instead

leave it to the professionals. So hopefully I'll give you enough information one way or the other.

As usual, after the main body of the show, I'll be looking at most recent reviews which have been

left, one on voicemail, actually, from Miss Money Pocket over in Spain.

So I'll play you that for a little bit of self-serving ego massaging towards the end.

I'll talk about what we're going to discuss next time as well.

Please do leave me a review on iTunes if this is of any use to you.

Okay, meaningfulmoney.tv slash iTunes. That opens a web page. There's a button there to

open the iTunes software and that'll open that at the right place, but all you've got to do then

is to go ratings and reviews and then leave a review, all right, a little bit convoluted.
