FAQ from Novice Investors

FAQ from Novice Investors
Here’s another freebie for Meshio.Com readers. This booklet is published by the Securities Industry Development Centre (SIDC). In this 26-paged booklet, you will find information on how to work out an investment plan for your own personal objectives and also how to protect your rights as an investor. There’s also a section on how you can manage your risk, and a nice checklist on how to select investment advisors.

One important concept I learnt is that we should not relate the word “risk” with negative connotations. Risk is an ever existing element in the universe of investment. Even if we don’t do anything with our money, we are still taking risk- we are actually exposing our money to inflation risk. If we understand the risk that surrounds the investment environment, we can actually make “risk” work for us.

    i may be wrong in this but wouldnt having your email in the mailto tag defeat the whole purpose of using images to display your email to prevent your email from getting spammed?
  • Ow, thanks for the tip-off.

    Yup, I guess it's safer not to use the mailto tag, spam spiders should be smart enough to read such common tags. The trade-off between user-friendliness and spammer-friendliness might be too much :-D
