Money Matters<br />

Double whammy for your money?<br />

The man in the mirror I talked to last month is back again.<br />

He promised to tell me the investments his convictions say we should make now. He tells me markets<br />

are volatile and heading for a major fall. So he suggests after holding cash in the bank for emergencies<br />

that 80% of our pension funds and other monies need to be in Gilts and Global Bond funds. These<br />

holdings could well rise in value when the market tumbles. Then use the volatile market to become a<br />

‘profit taker’ so invest 20% in risky funds that rise and fall rapidly – every time your funds rise by 5%<br />

press the button and take just the profit in cash. Have a pile of cash ready to buy in at<br />

lower prices as markets fall leaving the original funds invested. This way when the<br />

markets correct, or fall, you will have the cash to buy in low and profit when the<br />

market rises again. So double whammy – 80% of your funds should rise when<br />

the market falls and profits from the balance, use a profit taking strategy to<br />

gear up larger profits as the markets rise again.<br />
