133 - I asked GROK AI how to get rich during the downturn
In Episode 133 of the Diary of a UK Stock Investor Podcast this week:- As I spend some quality time with my children this easter holiday I asked GROK AI what should long-term investors do to maximise their returns during a bear market. I found the response so interesting I decided to turn it into a podcast episode. Join me this week as both myself and GROK walk you through 50 years of historical data analysis and hear what advice it gives to long term investors.
