Question

i was thinking of buying southern scotish energy shares

Answer 1

Some bad answers out there.

Here's your answer. It depends on your age, your risk tolerance, your investment goals, and your education.

These all play a part.

The younger you are, the more risk you can take.

The more easily you can sleep at night despite having money at risk, the more risk you can take.

The more aggressive your investment strategy, the more risk you'll take (normally).

And finally education. If you don't know what you're doing when you invest money into shares, you should put it elsewhere as then it'd just be gambling. Education, money management, and discipline are keys to consistent profitable returns. So you need to know what you're doing (both buying and selling) before you put money into shares.

So ask yourself those questions and you should have an answer! If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Good luck!

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/4ed13

Answer 3

Ok, I'm no investor and haven't got the world of knowledge.

I saw this book written about investing and Warrne Buffet's approach. Who better can you learn from? Get some books and read. Get educated on the topic yourself. It's your money.

A doctor studied medicine for years and became educated before he could practice. The same goes for your money. It's that simple.

Answer 4

Despite the recent enormous rise in house prices, shares are still top in capital gain. 20% would be a good idea - but don't buy risky stock

Answer 5

Up to you, but I would buy an ISA . Info on the internet on Martin Lewis Financial Adviser's site. Thats safe. Good luck.

Answer 6

I prefer putting percentages of my income into savings, stocks, bonds, stock funds and into savings.

I put 10% of my money into blue-chip stocks, but most of the rest is in more stable investments (bonds, etc) and in my tax-deferred savings plan (in the US we can defer taxes on gains in retirment accounts), and my tax-deferred plan is mostly stable investments with about 10% of it in riskier things like value stock funds and such.

I don't know what 20% of your savings represents, and I prefer the "do it in regular increments" approach myself.
