Investing for the Long Term by IBEJULEKKILANDS(m): 7:33am On Sep 07, 2016
Friend: “Wale , where should I invest my money?”
Me: “Well, when do you need the money again?”
Friend: “Next year.”
Me: (Sob ) (Then bitter anger)

Investing for a 1-year outlook is almost impossible to guarantee good returns. 5 years is better; 30 years is best. If you’re reading this in your twenties, chances are you will be rich. A wise man once said that “compound interest is the greatest invention of man.” His name was Albert Einstein.

Check this scenario out: You start investing at age 25, investing 629500.00 Naira($2000) each year until age 35. Then you STOP–never touching that money again. Your dumb friend doesn’t start until age 35, but he invests 629500.00 Naira ($2000) a year for 30 years (compared to your 10). Who has more by age 65?

You! Actually, you’ll have over 23,800,000 Naira ($70,000) more than your friend. Here’s a cool simulation.

One more thing. Over time, investing for the long-term (aka “buy & hold”) always beats short-term investing. (See some basic information here & here. Once you invest your money, don’t plan to take it out for a year. 5 years is better, and 30 years is even better. Why? Any given year can be good or bad, but that volatility will be averaged out over a long period of time, with good companies providing you dramatic returns.

Here are the technical details of why long-term investing works and short-term investing sucks (skip this part if you’re not interested).

First, we’re very bad at timing the market. For example, if you buy a Land on Jan 1 and it goes up 20% by March, you might sell–only to miss the 200% climb next month. Or if your investment drops, you’re tempted to sell it to cut your losses–literally buying high and selling low. That is bad.

Second, every time you sell a Land . Over time, these dramatically reduce your returns. In fact, Warren Buffet (Snoop Dogg of investing) once proposed a 100% capital-gains tax on investments held less than a year.

Third, it’s a lot of work to constantly buy Land and sell like that . Try Hold on to some for yourself .

Now, one thing I tell everyone is learn about real estate. Repeat after me: real estate provides the highest returns, the greatest values and the least risk.

Real estate investing, even on a very small scale, remains a tried and true means of building an individual's cash flow and wealth.

Commercial real estate always trails residential, and as residential growth flourishes, shopping centers flourish and service the communities, and jobs come out.
Re: Investing for the Long Term by ShelterHomes(m): 7:46pm On Sep 07, 2016
In the real estate business you learn more about people, and you learn more about community issues, you learn more about life, you learn more about the impact of government, probably than any other profession that I know of.

As long as you have more cash flowing in than flowing out, your investment is a good investment.
