FINANCIAL CRISIS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY

Not a good thing to begin with an apology, but it is absolutely warranted. It has been over a year that I have not written any posting on the blog. Excuses are many but the main reason is laziness, the secondary reason is the lack of response from the viewers to the web site as well as the blog.
I have decided to press on regardless and hence this blog. The web site has been since modified and deserves your attention and any feedback is welcome. the link for those who may not have added it to the favourites, here is the link

I intend to write on the blog more frequently and requesting for your participation by way of questions or feedback and comments.
Last year has been one of "once in life time" type of financial crisis for all. It started with mortgages and new financial instruments which attracted even professionals, not calculating and assessing the risk associated with these. On another level the psychological factor of excessive greed to multiply the money faster and make a fast buck was responsible for it. thanks to the experience of last recession governments were quick with the bail outs and recovery though slow and accompanied by high volatality in the markets is likely to be sooner than before.
That is where appears to be an opportunity of sorts for many to enter gradually on dips in selected equity for the long term. Secondly for those who need to review and balance their portfolios and asset allocation,this is a good opportunity. Thirdly it is a good time to start saving and investing regularly too.Systematic investments in selected equity will give good returns despite the volatality in the markets. For those who have been averse to investing in metals in general and gold and silver in particular this is a good opportunty to begin investing in.Those looking to buy their first or second homes too will find the time suitable.
I wish you all the best in taking stock of your investments and asset allocation and making changes and making the most of the opportunity.
