Gold: The best investment

A couple of weeks ago I said about the importance of gold as an investment. You can read it here. Do you know that the gold price is increased by $200 per ounce, thats an increase by 12.5%.

This increase is due to the shaky stock market. Gold moves opposite to the market. Its the safest investment. Now its getting close to $1750. I think for now it will not increase as it did in previous two weeks. It will move slowly and its the best time for people to buy gold. It will take another month to increase at that speed. You can buy gold bar or gold coins. I am happy that I invested in gold instead of shares.

Gold is consider as the best investment. It helps you during any crisis. Unlike shares and other type of investments, you dont lose anything in case of loss(which is not possible). You will have a minimum guaranteed amount.

Tips for investing in stock market

Investing in stock market is not a simple thing. Many people lost everything in the stock market. It involves huge risk. You are trading at your own risk. No one is responsible for your loss in stock market. If you are looking for investment without risk then check my post on riskless investment.  It’s always suggested to get the information from some people who deal with shares. There are some small common mistakes to be avoided. Analyzing the stock market before investing is the most important part in it.

Warren Buffett has suggested that every investor should be able to understand basic accountancy principles, an annual report and stock market history. Without this basic knowledge you can’t manage your investment.  

To begin your investment, you should select a stock broker first or wait for a company’s IPO. The stock broker acts like an agent for you in the stock market. You don’t need to go anywhere to get the stock broker. You can do all these things online.

Nowadays people use some software which helps them in trading in the stock market. This software helps them managing time, risk, investment etc. It helps you in many cases such as stock charting and technical analysis. If you want you can buy them. Each software has its own advantages.

Invest in the best place. Before investing go through the particular company’s profile, current BOD, CEO and other management people’s profile. Never invest in any company only because it’s earning huge profit.  Don’t invest all your money. There is no guarantee that the company or the stock market will be same as it is today. Its dynamic in nature and anything can happen at any time.
