“Finally, NeetaT, I would suggest not investing in “hot markets”. If prices in a stock market segment (like emerging) have gone up 400% in 3 years, then you should exercise the same caution you would for real estate that’s gone up by 400% in a short time. Maybe find something less trendy. You seem to have gone from the most cautious investment – CDs and the like – to volatile “hot” stock funds in one step. Why not aim to diversify by buying, slowly, various stocks/funds that are focused on different things, and maybe emphasize dividends to give you a back-up reward in case prices go down?”
Thanks, I will definitely consider the salutary advice!
