KEY FACTORS FOR FIRST-TIME INVESTORS
The Morning Standard
|September 23, 2024
A few things that you should know (or do) as a New Investor Start investing now -Immaterial of what your age is, you should start investing as soon as you know about investing.
Most of us know that investing as much as possible, as often as possible and leaving it invested as long as possible is the ONLY secret to good investing. We did not learn this directly, but we learnt compounding which taught us that 'n' was more important than 'r' simply because n was in the Power of the equation!
If you have no clue about investing and you come from a family that has never invested, it is sensible to get an advisor. Get an advisor who has 10-12 years of experience at least. He or she will keep you grounded in a bull market and build up your courage in a bear market. Think of him as a Financial Coach to whom you can turn for all your money questions.
