Making money through investing takes time. Trading promises to do it fast. At least, that's what social media wants you to believe.
So, can you actually make money trading – or is it a near-guaranteed way to lose it all?
In this episode of
Investing Unlocked,
Georgie Frost and
Rick Kelsey sit down with professional trader
Michael Taylor – better known as
Shifting Shares – to explore why most traders lose money, and what separates the ones who don't.
Michael shares his honest personal journey into UK small-cap trading, from the costly mistakes he made along the way and how those lessons shaped his approach today.
This episode looks past the social media noise to break down the mechanics of the market – from CFDs to spread betting – the discipline needed to manage risk, and what to actually look for before risking your capital.
