A Look Back At 2012

In this week’s episode:

Owain Bennallack and Nate Weisshaar reflect on 2012 and the events that shaped the year's investing landscape, including China's 'hard landing' that never transpired, as well as the economic stimulus applied in the UK and US. The two Fools also charted a share each that they tipped for success at the beginning of the year and see how they performed, and looked ahead to 2013 in this MoneyTalk podcast. A transcript of this podcast is also available.

Holding Apple shares....Lets hope the rumours of the flagging sales of the iphone 5 are not true.

Dr Kuo - you are a genius and I love your approach to investing. These podcasts are a revelation and a godsend. I am a complete convert (since the New Year) and have soaked up all of last year's broadcasts. They are extremely informative and entertaining. I cannot believe they are free!

You and your guests have introduced me to the basic principles of share investment and a whole host of new concepts and ideas. The podcasts of particular note were those on the Asian markets (not BRICS - CEMENT!), Small Caps and Micro Caps.

I welcome the day when we get a broadcast every week instead of monthly. Keep up the good work for 2013! You are required listening from now on...

Agree with above! I listen when I am bashing the miles on the tread mill and the miles and time wizz by. The Fool and David have got it spot on with the podcasts and I agree they should be weekly. What's more there is no mention of Woodford or Buffet......hooorah

I fully appreciate the podcasts too and often lists whilst cycling. Can only assume its holiday in the sun time for the fools as podcasts are generally on a monday weekly basis but one since 14th
Followed sound info a few times and done well also slipped up going into GKP at its height but live in hope
Looking forward to the rest podcast which can't come soon enough

About the show

MoneyTalk is a podcast from The Motley Fool (UK). Hosted by David Kuo, it’s a lively roundtable discussion where Fool writers and guests from the world of money thrash out the financial issues of the day.

Join us as we take an irreverent look at anything and everything to do with shares – from how to pick your first share to how to manage your own pension to what mini skirts have to do with Britain's economy (quite a lot, according to David).

From quick tips on how to tidy up a wayward portfolio to in depth discussions with industry experts, MoneyTalk tackles a different topic every week.

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.
