Stick With Your Shares

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."
