There is no right way to invest in shares, but there are some methods and strategies that tend to work better than others.Investing is like town planning, in that it has to look forward. Try as we may with tea leaves, weather maps and computers, humans struggle with guessing what the future holds. In the field of investing the best we can do is look backwards and see what has worked in the past and hope a similar pattern occurs in the future.Which leads nicely into our first golden rule. Something that definitely doesnt work is to expect recent returns to repeat themselves. In January 2001 global shares had delivered an annual return of 21% over the previous three years. If you had invested $10,000 into global shares in 1998 it would have been worth $17,715 by 2001. If you had instead chosen New Zealand shares over the same three years your $10,000 would have grown to a paltry $10,895 as our market only returned 2.9% a year over these three years.This situation reversed over the next three years. New Zealand shares returned 10.5% a year while global shares fell by 16% a year. If the investor had continued to stick with their New Zealand stocks it would have grown to $14,700 by...more
