We repeat: Simple Investing will
do. But Advanced Investing will reward you if you have the aptitude,
or you have a decent adviser who can help you. |
Basics
Nothing alters the basics of investment, as laid out in Simple Investing:
- Return
- Risk
- Personal preferences on the balance of risk
and return
- Asset allocation to turn these personal preferences
into investment choices
- Diversifying
- Doing it
