The start of 2016 has been a rocky ride for investors, but should they worry or ride out the storm?
The FTSE 100 had a bad first week at the office, tumbling 5.3 per cent off the back of bad news on China, oil, global growth and just about anything else you can think of.
The latest in the Investing Show series takes a look at what this means for investors and the year ahead and whether there are any silver linings?
Richard Hunter, of Hargreaves Lansdown, explains why courage is his acronymn for the year ahead, as he discusses the outlook for investors with Simon Lambert, of This is Money, and Nick Batsford, of TipTV.
They are joined by Liz Field, of the Wealth Management Association, who explains her ideas for long-term investing and how people can get started or improve their existing investing behaviour.
Simon also takes a look at why Santander 123 customers - and everyone else - should weigh up whether they can get a better bank account.
