2008 has entered the record books for all the inaccurate reasons ; the FTSE had its worst year ever.
So what about 2009, how will exchanges from across the world perform and which are the stocks to follow? Well really you want a crystal ball to be ready to answer these queries. 2009 could be another tough year, Gordon Brown is actually saying that it'll be or is he just covering his very own back? I am definitely a person who enjoys investing on the exchanges and I should say that I am definitely a bit of a gambler ; I am quite prepared to take a risk with my disposable earnings in the hope that I am able to increase it for example.
I personally believe in investing a quantity of money ( an amount that I am able to afford ) on an once per month basis rather than investing pile sums. This way I am in a position to exploit what's frequently called pound cost averaging in the UK or buck cost averaging in the US.
This is where when prices are high your monthly contribution may buy less shares or fund units but that when costs are low your investment buys more shares or fund units.
During these volatile times this strategy of investing may turn out to be the most careful. Though exchanges like the FTSE has had a particularly poor 2008 and is thus quite low there could be serious falls ahead. Call me a little funny if you like but I suspect ( and am also putting my money where my mouth is ) the areas to invest in 2009 might be Russia, China, India and Japan. I don't personally invest in individual stocks ; I purchase units in what is known as a collective investment.
Let's all hope that 2009 is more wealthy, financially, than 2008.
