Investment

The private investor in the investment world today peers up worriedly at the peaks of stockmarket growth and wonders whether his Isa’s, Unit Trusts and OEIC’s can continue sustaining the growth of recent years. While this in part will be affected by investor sentiment over the long term economic strength will decide the growth of these investments.
It should be accepted that the growth that immediately preceded the last stockmarket crash was built on expectation not solid foundations. This time the growth to those towering stock market heights seems built more on perspiration. If one considers the dividend yield of the footsie now against that preceding the crash it can be seen that current growth is built on profit income streams not speculation and hope.
