Before investing, ask yourself, what you want to achieve with the results of this investment? See your dream sheet, how much wealth you write there? that your investment goals.

Then, you should consider the investment period to be followed. How much investment term you want? Long or short term? What instrument that is suitable for your current financial situation? What are the advantages selecting that investment instruments? How much results can be produced?

Count on your investment risk. Make a list of potential profit and loss risk. Whether returns are proportional to the risks that should be taken? Is this risk can be minimized? What strategies such can be applied? In selecting investments, you also need to see your personality. Ask yourself whether you stand a high risk? Or conversely, the heart seemed to fall out if your investment suddenly go down?

If you love to play with risk, you can choose the type of high-risk investments which are also able to provide a high return. But if you are not enjoying the high-risk investments, you should select only the conventional and safe. Do not get heart attack because you saw your fund sold out in a flash.

Do not put your eggs in one basket. Do the diversification of investment. so if any of your investments suffer losses, you still have another backup. The theory of diversification is based on the fact that, if the value of some assets fall, the value of other assets will go up in the same time. This means that you need to have investments that have different properties so that your losses are not too big.

However, if you want to invest in one type of instrument, it is not wrong or bad. This is not recommended if you are not investors who really talented and resilient as too risky. If you can not go directly to oversee the "only basket", choose the a safer road, put your eggs in several baskets.
