Don’t get caught up in investment overload
|
It seems everyone these days has a hot tip when it comes to investments. Whether it be buying gold bars to bury in your backyard or more conventional investments such as shares and property, everyone wants to give you advice on how to invest your hard earned money. With so much information coming at us from so many different directions, it can be easier to shut it all out or, to research endlessly for that ‘perfect investment’. |
There is no such thing as a perfect investment. Investments should be selected based on your tolerance for risk and your goals. Further, investments are generally selected to ensure they comply with a number of generally accepted ‘investment rules’ such as diversifying and reviewing historical averages. The closest thing to a perfect investment is the one that is applied to suit you but more importantly, is done now!
Responsible investments take time to seek return. How much time depends on the type of investment and generally the more time you are willing to put into it, the higher the expected return. With all this delay why you wade through investment overload, you are giving up the number one tool you have, time!
