disappointed in returns
Guest
I read the guide to savings and investments this time last year and was greatly impressed as it made a great deal of sense.
I was wondering though what to do about the following :
Last year I bought 12 different shares in different industrys for a total of 24,000 and I am currently down 5000 (Losses reached 7500 at one stage). I now calculate that these shares need to make a return of 12.50% every year for the next four years just so my original investment keeps pace with inflation. (I had a 5 year plan originally)
I suppose I have no option now but to stay put and hope for an upturn ? Will equities make a comeback ?
