Podcast on SMT

Today's Investors Chronicle podcast is all about SMT. 
Very interesting and puts in perspective some of the comments you see ... "its gone up recently so i sold it" or "too much concentration in Tesla" or "I was going to buy it but its gone up too much I'll wait until it drops .. <insert 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 depending when this was said>"

    Cheers, I'll give that a listen. Their article on wealth tax is a bit alarming though :0

    I see it as a long term venture, stocks come and go. Their holdings from 10 years ago are different to now, it's their managers that count. 
    I don't even check anymore their price, i know I will end up with more money than I put in 30 years

    their Sister funds/ Trusts are also quite good as well

    Good insight. They both come across very well.
    Cut back a bit on SMT recently. Due to the stella performace it was just becoming too big a % of my overall holdings. I fully expect to still be holding in 30 years time myself, though.
