Podcast88: My Worst Investment Ever....And What We Can Learn!

May 21, 2018

This week in Ireland's dedicated Financial Planning & Personal Finance Blog & Podcast we take a look at what has been my worst investment ever, but also my greatest lesson as an investor. I am an open book, and happy to share this with you, in the hope it may help others avoid the same mistake! It revolves around a company share scheme that I was involved in 10 years ago, and a cheque which I received only last week for a grand sum of ?0.26 (yes 26 cents!) which was what I got back, in total, having previously invested almost ?10,000! Here's how it happens.......Thanks for listening, please tell a friend!You're a Legend,Paddy DelaneyQFA | RPA | APA | Qualified Coach
