Rules to invest

There’s an infinite number of ways to invest your money. But all successful investors agree on a set of principles. 1) Think long-term The sooner you start the less amount of money you need. Enough time is the keyword. In the short term, the market is unpredictable. But in the long run (YEARS!) it will grant you a positive return. 2) Spread the risk Picking stocks is a losing game, comparable to betting in a casino. Markets always go up. But you can benefit from this only with diversified investments. If you bet on one or even a dozen stocks, the odds will always be against you. 3) Keep costs low Even when an investment gives you a return, there’s still a risk. That you spend in tax and fees most of what you earned or even more than that. So, keep your costs low.
