In the long term, stocks perform better than all other securities. This gives some investors unconventional ideas. But a 100 percent strategy should only be used with great caution.
DThe world’s stock markets have had another record-breaking week. This can trigger two rather different feelings in investors. On the one hand, a bit of unrest: Can the upswing continue like this forever? It doesn’t do German investors an injustice when they note that there is a certain tendency towards such doubts in this country.
On the other hand, records can also give rise to the opposite impulse: Aren’t they an expression of the fact that, if in doubt, it is worth investing even more money in stocks than before? This perspective is more common among younger people or in a country where a healthy dose of optimism is standard: the United States. As is often the case when it comes to investing, Americans are taking the debate to the extreme: Why shouldn’t you invest all of your money in stocks, apart from everyday expenses? So 100 percent. Yes, why not?
