Welcome to another episode of the Mark My Words Podcast. In today’s episode, Mark shows you how to invest in the stock market, in a quick, easy and risk-controlled way. If you're an entrepreneur or property investor and want more tax advantages and benefit from an investment ISA or portfolio tracker, this episode is for you.

Mark walks you through his investments using his preferred investing platform, Hargreaves Lansdown and demonstrates the automatic way of spreading your money around the different products and opportunities available to you, right now.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
I've invested a lot in companies that have had issues in the media and it's viewed in the short-medium that they'll recover in the end because the band or product is strong enough to prevail. A lot of people invest on emotion and you'll find companies share prices drop down further than they're worth due to people emotionally trading. An example of this would be the Volkswagen emissions scandal where their share price dropped to a record low, but due to their brand and their strong product, they’re recovering and the investors are set to make a profit.
You should be looking at putting money in your account at various times throughout the year and building your capital up for investments. The best bit is they’re tax-free, you won’t pay any tax on the capital value and you won’t pay any tax on the capital gained.
Hargreaves Lansdown gives you choices of what to invest in, including individual shares (this is riskier). Invest in individual shares if you know the company and you understand what they do. Remember that if you are doing this, only invest a percentage of your portfolio as companies can go bust. This is why FTSE 100 companies are probably the type of businesses you want to invest in.
Another way of investing can be to use a tracker fund that tracks the market going up and down. These are very low costs and over the long term do very well. You could use a fund manager, however, over the very long term they don't generally do much better than a tracker
