Stocks And Shares To Rise 30% In 2009?

The first ten months of 2008 have been some what disastrous for stocks and shares with many financial markets from around the world seeing falls in excess of 40%. Many leading analysts believe that many stocks have been oversold in the panic and that 2009 could well be a great year to invest in stocks and shares.

I personally am not so sure. Are we through the worst of the credit crunch? Well I doubt it. There is likely to be a lot more "bad news" out there and I believe that there will be a great number of companies issuing profit warnings.

Despite my own reservations I do actually like to invest in these turbulent times. Stock markets are trading at a huge discount on this time last year and the bottom surely is not too far away. There is some big money to be made for the savvy and brave investor; I just hope that I am one of them.

I am not willing to risk any major lump sum investment at this time as I am fully expecting the markets to fall even more before they finally start on any sustained period of growth.

Instead of investing in the form of lump sums I prefer to take advantage of what is known as "pound cost averaging" by investing by way of a monthly premium into a stocks and shares investment fund.

I like to spread the risk even further by investing in the majority of areas of the world including Japan , China , India , North America, UK , Russia and Europe .

I am not a financial adviser therefore please do not take the above as any form of advice. Wish me luck with taking the investment plunge during these most tricky of times!
