RISK WARNING: should you invest, the value of your investment may rise or fall and your capital is at risk. Before investing, your individual circumstances should be assessed. Consider taking independent financial advice. The Motley Fool believes in building wealth through long-term investing and so we do not promote or encourage high-risk activities including day trading, CFDs, spread betting, cryptocurrencies, and forex. Where we promote an affiliate partnerâs brokerage products, these are focused on the trading of readily releasable securities.

But he says most investors should not do anything like that — nor pay managers to try to do so on their behalf. Instead, his new book, Investing Demystified, advocates investing cheaply and effectively through the simplest products available.
