Sixteen investments our experts would buy into now

As central banks continue to print money, what should you do to protect your wealth? John Stepek talks to our panel of experts, who pick 16 of the best investments to buy now.

John Stepek: The Bank of England and Bank of Japan are doing more quantitative easing (QE); in the US, the Federal Reserve may print more money too; and China is cutting reserve requirements and rolling over bank loans. What can possibly go wrong?

Mouhammed Choukeir: The point of printing money is to create inflation. For now, it's under control. But ultimately, this money has to make its way into the economy. So the danger is we get a big spike in inflation.

John Stepek

John Stepek is a senior reporter at Bloomberg News and a former editor of MoneyWeek magazine. He graduated from Strathclyde University with a degree in psychology in 1996 and has always been fascinated by the gap between the way the market works in theory and the way it works in practice, and by how our deep-rooted instincts work against our best interests as investors.

He started out in journalism by writing articles about the specific business challenges facing family firms. In 2003, he took a job on the finance desk of Teletext, where he spent two years covering the markets and breaking financial news.

His work has been published in Families in Business, Shares magazine, Spear's Magazine, The Sunday Times, and The Spectator among others. He has also appeared as an expert commentator on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, BBC Radio Scotland, Newsnight, Daily Politics and Bloomberg. His first book, on contrarian investing, The Sceptical Investor, was released in March 2019. You can follow John on Twitter at @john_stepek.
