Mad World.
15/4/2013
I often get asked if it is a good time to invest in the stock market. I think that my clients understand that I am not clairvoyant, but they like to ask anyway.
This evening there has been an explosion in Boston which might be the start of a new terrorist threat to the US. Earlier on, I watched a documentary about North Korea which came to the conclusion that the country might start a thermonuclear war 'by mistake'.
The world stock market can be adversely affected by this type of event, but long-term returns have always historically reverted to the norm. The more sanguine investor would see this type of setback as a buying opportunity. Investing regularly tends to make these short term fluctuations even out.
There is no risk-free way to make money from investments. On Monday the price of gold (which is touted by some as a stock-market beating investment) fell by more than 7% in one day.
By using investment funds rather than investing in individual shares, you drastically reduce the risks of the stock market. Please ask Mulberry Financial for a meeting so that we can explain the risks and help you to see that the right time to start saving is always NOW.

Please remember that the prices of shares and other investments can fall sharply. You may not get back the money you originally invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future.
