INVESTING: Stock Crisis Investing checklist (printable)
This list contains some input regarding how to invest in stocks in general and in crisis situations:
1. Big fluctuations is a part of investing. The markets will rise again. Some of the biggest losses have been followed by the biggest gains. Big losses tend to be temporary, and being out of the market for a short while could mean that long term gains evaporate.
2. Statistically you should save all the time and continue to invest and stay invested. Nobody knows on an ongoing basis when a crisis stops. Not even the pro's.
3. Get advice, but know the limitations of the advice, and be very careful who you listen to. Be careful. Adjust it to your personality, your life expectancy. Yes, government bonds yield less in the long term, statistics say, but it gives you much more certainty, better sleep at night, and perhaps most importantly, it frees up your time to do other things, like earning a salary!
4. Diversify. Shares, Bonds, Commodities, Real Estate, Cash deposits. Check out the possibilities of buying inflation-linked bonds.
5. Know your taxes.
