Market disruptions and the future of the London Stock Exchange

Episode notes

In this week’s podcast Allan considers the pros and cons of market volatility and market disruptors.

Allan’s update

Constant news, and the resulting volatility in share prices, is great if you are a trader, or even a short term, in/out kind of investor. But if you are a buy and hold investor then it is incredibly stressful, particularly just after you’ve made a purchase.
