Return from various types of investments

Hi Mr Tan,

The stockmarket is now at a high level. Is it risky to invest in the stockmarket now? Should I reduce my investments? What other types of investment can I make now? I find the interest rate on fixed deposit to be too low.

If you are not familiar with speculating on the stockmarket, it is better to invest with a long term perspective.

You can read this FAQ on the return from various types of investments. This is measured on a long term perspective.

Generally, it is good to invest in equities, but I prefer to enter at a lower price level. There is no point to invest at the peak of the market (but we are not sure when the peak will be reached! )
