To buy or not to buy
With all the turmoil in investment markets over recent months, many
investors will be asking if they have done the right thing by investing
in shares or managed funds. Many will be looking cautiously towards
bricks and mortar in 2009 as a potential safe-haven for their
investment dollar.
While some see the current global economic crisis as a reason to
despair, the reality is the current local property market has an
abundance of opportunity ripe for the picking... if you know where
to look.
Just about anyone can make money when the market goes up, but
only skilled, properly informed and educated investors will make
huge profits as skill supersedes luck.
The secret to successful investing is a counter-cyclical approach
Traditionally, human nature tells us to invest when markets are going
up and to sell when markets are in decline. However, we need to
change our mindset and avoid the ‘herd mentality' – instead, invest
when everyone else is selling (giving us maximum choice, discounts
and negotiating power) and sell when everyone else is buying.
Similarly with longer term investments, we should be buying when
markets are down and hold on to our investments for the long term.
Time in, not timing.
Warren Buffett is quoted as saying:
…be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only
when others are fearful.
The world's most successful investors make their money by buying in
the gloom and selling in the boom. To fully understand the current
market and how to profit and make the right decisions for your
investment portfolio, now more than ever you need sound coaching
and advice.
