This may be an interesting story to listen to this lunchtime.
On Moneybox R4 they're talking about picking your own investments rather than paying 'an expert' How easy is it to pick a winner ?

DITCH AND DABBLE
We sent our newest producer, Wesley Stephenson, to find out about DIY investing. If you are confident enough to find your own investments and manage them online you can save the fees an independent financial adviser would charge. But how easy is IIY? And is it sensible to ditch your adviser and dabble on the market?

Thought it was quite a good item for newbie investors.

So refreshing that there was no free advertising of the very expensive DIY platform that always seems to get a mention normally.
