Geldcast Update: how to make money on stock markets – and avoid the pitfalls
The allure of stock markets and their promises of huge profits can be extremely seductive. But how do you invest your money properly? In this week’s Geldcast podcast, a Swiss financial expert gives some tips.
Invest CHF10,000 ($11,000) and make a profit of CHF42,000: that is not just wishful thinking. Anyone who invested in the Swiss stock market between 1997 and 2022 could have made this kind of profit, as shown by moneyland.ch’s figures on the Swiss Market Index (SMI).
But there’s a catch: you can also lose everything on the stock market.
This week, Geldcast host Fabio Canetg talks to financial expert Patrick Eugster about how to invest your money properly and the pitfalls to look out for. Eugster has a PhD in finance from the University of Zurich and now runs a financial blog on YouTube.
