*** Official Finance/Investing Thread ***

Do people here on this forum invest? Or are you at least interested in finance even though your personal financial position isn´t allowing investing yet at the moment?

I personally am, though currently I have all my assets in cash. I said on January 21st this year on this thread http://keskustelu.plaza.fi/muropaketti/bbs/t442870,600 on finnish general discussion forum that I will again start buying stocks when OMXHCAP index hits 3000 points. It would still need about 26% decline in stock prices in that index - maybe I play safe and start buys at ~3500 points or so . Note that the forum post was made when the index was close to 5000 points, so my prediction was quite bold, but is not currently THAT far away.

Open discussion on finance and investing in this thread.

I have some(not much) stock funds and Im saving a few hundreds every month. I made the main investment in the summer of 2006 and the first year was a big success but 2008 -40% I didnt sell anything when I maybe shouldve but I didnt lost that much and all in all Im on the positive side still. My goal is that when I have ended my studies and it`s time to buy my first bigger house(in 10ys maybe), I could pay about half of it or so with those savings. If some other things go this well it might be a lot sooner. But taking a mortgage like 200 000€ is my worst nightmare and I hope that`s not what I have to do
