About this episode

This week -  can there really be any truth to the old city adage - Sell in May and go away, don’t come back till St Leger’s day’?

If you think there is then you’ll be looking to get out of the market about now - but do the numbers back up that decision? We’ll be looking at ‘sell in may, and investing superstitions in general, today.

Host, Ed Monk, and his occasional guests provide a well-balanced take on the latest financial developments together with expert insights to help you grow your capital, manage your investment portfolio and make the most of the money markets.

Popular for its jargon-free approach, clear analysis and fresh perspective, The Personal Investor podcast helps shine a light on the latest market developments for the savvy UK investor.
