Reasons why you should not pay too much attention to the overall state of the market
Article Abstract:
It is generally advisable to keep investing on a regular basis, rather than constantly moving money in and out of the stock market in an effort to try to avoid periods of slump. This is because most of the large upward moves in the stock market usually take place either just before or just after large falls. It is also worth being aware that stock market trends which are predicted in the media are generally incorrect. It is probably best not to give too much attention to trying to spot which market sector will show the best performance.

Investments
Article Abstract:
There are mixed views on whether the best investment strategy is to focus on growth shares or on 'value' investing. Those who favour growth shares are most interested in small, rapidly expanding companies which see a steady rise in earings over a number of years. These concerns usually have low dividend yields and high price/earnings ratios. Which approach is most successful depends on what sort of risks the investor is willing to take and on developments in the market and the economy as a whole.
