After a year as turbulent for investors may be useful to return to some basic principles.
Here are five of doing with other five do not we think are good advice at any time, but especially in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.
Let's start with the Sun.
1. Be careful. Having a mathematical sense conservative bias. If you lose 50 percent of its capital it needs to earn 100% to return to square one. This mathematical most basic is sufficient justification for caution when investing bias. It is better to miss some upside in order to protect their capital against the floor.
2. Performance expectations are realistic. In the long term fixed income investments such as deposits and bonds and return between 4% and 7%, while property and shares have averaged returns of 7% to 10% per year.
A balanced portfolio, depending on the combination of assets, could therefore be expected to provide a return of 6% to 8% a year. After taxes and inflation are deducted from this performance can translate into a real net return of 2% to 3% per year. Not only returns tend to be lower than people expect, but often end up being more volatile. Expect returns to be up and down, sometimes dramatically. Volatility market is an inevitable part of the investment.
3. Diversify. The best way to avoid financial disaster is diversification. The wide dissemination of investment high quality in all sectors, markets and assets is the most effective way to reduce risk. Diversify across time as well. Investing in shares is a great way to protect against bad weather and buying just before a falling market.
4. Investing income. Owning investments that pay to have you sense. Bond, property and all actions that produce income. The capital growth is important, but usually follows the growth of income. Purchase of income and growth must follow.
5. Adopt a disciplined approach. Establish rules about how you will invest your portfolio, and how much to invest in riskier options such as shares and property and the amount of which will be at the property, worth the effort. It gives you a roadmap on how to invest your portfolio.
And five don'ts.
1. Do not ignore inflation. Even if inflation remains around 2%, still has 10% of the purchasing power of your capital every 5 years. Inflation is the number of each investor to the enemy. Over the long term real assets such as property and shares have proved to be the best protection against inflation.
2. Do not rely on market forecasts. Humans can not predict markets with a constant degree of precision. Do not put much faith in them. We must devote more time to ensure our portfolios are well diversified than trying to predict market movements.
3. Do not buy and maintain. Investing for the long term and with the intention to hold their investments for many years but, if things change, be prepared to review and modify your portfolio accordingly.
4. Do not fall the options that seem too good to be true. At present, the bond yield of a government of New Zealand, the safest investment of all, is about 5%. If you want any risk, this is the return you have to accept. The achievement of any return above this level will involve taking a degree of risk. And the larger performance is your goal, the more risk you must take. No exceptions.
5. Do not invest in anything you do not understand. If you are struggling to understand an investment that can pay for a big rodeo. Or at least, invest only a small amount until you learn more and get more comfortable with it.

Asia-Pacific brokersin online?
Dear Sir: 1.Canada you a list of some online brokers (in Australia or New Zealand), which allows nonresident aliens (aliens) to trade on stock exchanges in Asia-Pacific securities and derivatives exchnage? 2.My requirements for brokers I may trade in stock exchnage and exchnage of commodities in Australia, New Zealand and other Asian countries (Optional). Thank you.
What do you do surely violates a series of laws. Stockbrokers serve local customers. Brokers in New Zealand are there to serve their customers Kiwi. Foreigners Non-residents can find brokers in their own countries of origin. I'm sure they just want better access to a market of particular interest to you. But people do that sort of thing to launder money and hide assets. That's why it is not allowed.
