Word of advice: diversify

Article Abstract:

Investment analysts are advising investors to diversify their portfolios to spread risk in the light of an increase in market downturns brought about by Asian the currency debacle. According to investment advisers, investors should try investing part of their capital in high-yielding deposits or money funds without abandoning mutual funds completely. Meanwhile, analysts advise that investors hold on to the majority of their capital already put into the stockmarket since the market's decline has raised its value.
