Investing in stocks and bonds

Hi vipersworld, I have finished my MBA recently and am a finance analyst. I would like to share a few things. First point, why do you want to invest? Investing is a very personal thing and it changes from person to person. So if you really want to invest then you have to take a decision like "do i want to invest by myself? or I want to have an advisor?" As you know, having an advisor will cost you. If you find a mentor then that's great. But it is not easy. And another option is to read books and learn. It takes time but the best one it is. As you know, you are the best for managing your money. As for bonds and stocks. Everyone knows, stocks are more volatile than bonds. If you want to win in investing first rule is be ready to accept temporary defeat. Well, it is a subject which has no perfect answer and no perfect formula. But one can get good results with simple common sense and logic. If you need more information, you can PM me. I will give you some resources which you can use for yourself. All the Best!

I mainly invest in the stock market but so far the result isn't very fruitful. I think the very thing first thing you need to do is to start learning. There are plenty of books available discussing what is investment and what are stocks and bonds. Asking for opinion from people through the Internet is not exactly a bad idea but then if you don't have some foundations, you won't be able to tell how correct the advice others are giving you.
