Despite leading shares falling
to their lowest levels since the beginning of March, KPM
Financial Planning Ltd is advising investors not to desert
the stock market.
The FTSE 100 index has peaked and dropped over the past
month and further drops are been predicted. However experts
believe this to be a short term problem and that looking
to the future is the best approach.
Paul Millar of KPM Financial comments: “Despite
the recent bad news the outlook for the rest of 2006 is good
with many companies achieving their goals.
“The fact is that investing in equities
should never be looked at as a quick route to cash, investment
should be long lasting and able to survive the short term
drops we have seen in the last few weeks. Investors should
not sell just because of one fall and shares should be looked
at over a period of at least five years.
“Investors also need to remember that
shares have risen substantially since the lows of March 2003
and that it was inevitable that at some stage there would
be a pause or correction.
"Sometimes a fall in equity markets is good
as it offers investors opportunities to buy into markets
at a lower level."
