Excellent!
As a new investor I found this podcast really helpful, and having someone like Trevor on the show, who is an established professional, really does help.
As always David, you asked the questions which were on the tip of my tongue!!

Hi pauldreed

Trevor was a great guest and marvellous fun in the studio.

We have lots of interesting speakers lined up for the year, but please email me at moneytalk@fool.co.uk if there is anything specific you would like us to cover.

Best regards

David

I agree. One of the best things to come out of TMF in quite a while. I urged TMF to address this issue in a post some time ago.

David: please could you have someone like Trevor come in and discuss the all-important concept of the equity premium. It's THE main concern of all serious investors. By how much does the rate of return on my asset portfolio exceed the rate on risk-free assets.
I say investors: traders and speculators have other concerns.

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
