FIVE GOLDEN RULES OF INVESTING

Don’t trade: stock traders are constantly on their toes. If you can’t do that, don’t trade.

Thinking long-term: it is an age-old investment rule, but it still carries a ring of truth: stocks outperform all assets classes over the long-term.

Diversity: a crisis can destroy any market in the short term. Therefore, diversify across assets.

Invest regularly: a castle was not built in a day. Likewise, fortunes are made over the long term.

Set goals: a regular savings habit can make it easier to achieve life’s target.
