When you’re new to the stock market, it’s important to keep things simple and focus on building a solid foundation. But it’s a good decision to start early! Before you do, there are a few questions you need to ask yourself:
- How much money can you really contribute? Remember that you should always have some easily accessible money on the side for emergencies.
- Are you looking for trading opportunities with high growth potential and risk, or are you saving for retirement? Think carefully about how long you want to invest for.
- Be realistic, how much risk can you take? Think carefully about your responsibilities and financial stability.
When you begin investing…
Start small! Don’t feel pressured to invest a lot at first. Start with a manageable amount and gradually increase it as you become more comfortable and experienced.
Be patient, disciplined and informed to achieve your financial goals. Also, diversify your investments and choose your funds carefully.
Educate yourself: Investing is a lifelong learning process. Use online resources, books and financial advisers to increase your knowledge and confidence. There are also a lot of online courses for trading. Read more about this in the blog post “Investment courses – are they worth it?“
