Microwave ovens, fitted kitchens, colour televisions, we always wait to buy in the sale while prices are slashed.

Why do we do this?

Because it gives us the greatest saving and feeling of achievement over your next door neighbour or friends.

So why do we do completely the opposite when it comes to investing for our futures?

Right now and possibly for the rest of this year the financial market is low.  Investing now in equities while the market is low and experiencing long term volatility, for someone who is willing to hold their investment within say an ISA, Unit Trust or pension plan for at least 5 years, should be buying now while stocks last.

Only 12 months ago, the FTSE was standing at around 6400 points, this week is has been down to 5400 points.  If a new car was slashed that much in price, wouldn’t you be interested in it?

So why not get some independent financial advice, and consider buying now while stocks last!
