Hi all,
Lately I have been looking for better investment oppertunies than just letting my money sit on my bank account.
I am trying to save money for buying a house in the future.
Now I have done some reading and figured out that I want to invest in stocks focused on a high dividend. The money I want to use for this is doing nothing right now, I don't need it.
However, I have never before bought stocks or bonds. So I am very new to all of this. I noticed that the markets have soured up during the last year, so I have the feeling I am actually a little bit late to the party.
My plan is to invest 500 euro's each month. I will invest this in stock and bond indexes that yield a high percentage dividend.
What do you guys think about this strategy? Is it still advisable to start investing right now with this market? I am seeing that the Shiller P/E is pretty high right now, so that points out that I shouldn't buy stocks I guess.
However, if I use the strategy to invest 500 euro's every month I think it doesn't really matter how the market is behaving. If I keep investing money when the market falls, it evens out. Am I right about this?
