Decisions, Decisions and Personal Finance

You ask what it takes to become an investor? Jolly good you asked that! It's a question nobody could answer directly. But, it's a question any investor would like answered properly as well.

I'm an investor. I go with the London Stock Exchange. Political decisions do not scare me. We measure everything in a quantifiable manner.

But like any sane person, we play by guts and we understand we cannot quantify everything.

Quantify Risks and Gains

Today's political climate in the UK has the conservatives helming a firm hand over the UK's political ground rule. Sure, Labour and LibDem can often make noise. But the people know it's the tories who are under control and have given much of their benefits nowadays.

But they are not perfect. Us investors recognise that. But so far right now, investing in UK companies and bonds even are great deals.

Play It Safe

Despite great benefits from the tories especially from the humungous real estate sale through the Help To Buy by Chancellor Osborne and the historically low interest rates helped investors to secure more assets. While we know it was meant for Britons to purchase more residences and push up real estate prices, the trouble was it was meant for everyone.

I'm not a kingly investor so I can still apply for the benefit. But it only helped me become richer. At best, that decision was the lowest risk there is. I played it safe and I believe you would agree to that as well.
