In facing the fluctuating economic situation in this pandemic era, we must be careful in choosing investments that are safe and have a high return. For most of our lives, we will be earning and spending money. When current income exceeds current consumptions, people tend to save the excess. As the conventional saving, in the past era, people tend to put their money or valuable things under their pillow\/mattress, or bury under backyard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This case will make the amount remain the same.

When we buy an item as an\ninvestment, the goal is not to consume that item but to use it in the future to\ncreate wealth. Investing always has something to do with spending some current\nassets such as time, money, or effort in the hope of getting a bigger return in\nthe future than was originally invested, (source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/investment.asp\">https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/investment.asp<\/a>).\nAccording to Prof. Lai, an investment is the current commitment of dollars for\na period of time in order to derive future payments that will compensate the\ninvestor for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The time the funds are\ncommitted<\/li><li>The expected rate of inflation\nduring this time period<\/li><li>The uncertainty of the future\npayments<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the global investment choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bond and preferred stocks\ninvestments<\/li><li>Stock investments<\/li><li>Warrants and options<\/li><li>Futures contracts<\/li><li>Unit trusts\/mutual funds<\/li><li>Real assets<\/li><li>Low liquidity investments\n(diamond, art, antiques, coins &amp; stamp)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, insurance, including life insurance, health\ninsurance, disability insurance, and automobile insurance can be included into\nthe preliminaries of investments. This investment helps to meet events such as\nemergencies, job layoffs, and unforeseen expenses. If you are interested in\nstock investment, pay more attention on several aspects, such as intrinsic\nvalues, stock characteristics, portfolio management strategies, stock picking,\nmarket timing, and investment decisions. The followings are the basic strategy\nin stock investment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If estimated value is higher\nthan a market price, BUY<\/li><li>If estimated value is lower\nthan a market price, SELL<\/li><li>If estimated value is same as a\nmarket price, HOLD<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> Hopefully, we all can make a good investment to create wealth in the future.
