What does investing actually mean?

Investing means putting money you will not need for years into assets such as shares in companies (stocks) or loans to governments and companies (bonds), usually through funds. Their value goes up and down, sometimes sharply, and nothing is guaranteed. Most evidence favours owning many investments cheaply and holding them for the long term.

How do I use RepeatWatch to learn from these lessons?

Treat Play all on repeat as a course and watch a few videos a day. Slow an explanation to 0.75× while you take notes, A–B loop the part on risk or fees until it is clear, and save the steps of your own plan on keys 1–9 so you can jump back to them.
