Investment in Share Market

What is the best way to achieve financial freedom? Should you leave your money tucked away in the bank or plough it into the stock market where the potential for strong returns is greater but the chances of losing money is higher? Most people prefer stock market and why not? But do we know how shares reward an investor?

Warren Buffet - Greatest Investor of All Time

Warren Buffett also known as "Oracle of Omaha", is Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and arguably the greatest investor of all time. His wealth fluctuates with the performance of the market, but for the last few years he has been reported to be worth over $30 billion, making him the second richest man in the world. (Bill Gates still the richest man).

Buffett is a value investor. His company Berkshire Hathaway is basically a holding company for his investments. Major holdings he has had at some point include Coca-Cola, American Express and Gillette. Critics predicted an end to his success when his conservative investing style meant missing out on the dotcom bull market. The dotcom crash had once again proved that he is still the winner in investment and Buffett's time tested strategy proved successful.

If there is one theme that continually runs through the public statements of Warren Buffett it is the principle that investor should only consider for investment companies with managers of competence and integrity.

    I believe investor with huge capital would like to invest in the bigger capital share, which they think its stable and not easy to speculate. Due to they huge amount of avial cash this would able them to control a big capital share. But what would be a best choice for a small investor?

    Before invest, spend soem times to know yourself better. How do you want to involve in share market?

    1. Investor = fundamental + economic + Discipline

    2. Speculator = price + discipline

    Mutual fund investment or unit trust investment are far too slow in term of profit taking compare with share market. Are small investor advisable to take opportunity on speculative share or small capital share? In Malaysia share market consist of one board by the name of MESDAQ. Would be a wise to choice investment into the hidden treasure of MESDAQ?

    Investor or speculator, should do some research on the market trend and company performance before punp in the money. I do not encourage to put all eggs into one basket. MESDAQ is definitely a good option for speculative earning, however do set a good 'QUOTA' and diversify the invetsment into High, medium and low risk. High risk, high gain. Low risk, low gain.

    Do make sure we have time for speculation before involve into MESDAQ.

    I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
    the indexes easily.

    Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
