According to this article the fluctuation of share prices affect all of us. They affect our pension, our child’s nest-egg, the value of our home, etc. the text explains the difference of savings on a bank account and do an investment. Investments can go down in value as well as up. However, we should be aware when we do investments in short terms, as in housing market, and long terms, as pension fund and nest-eggs for children.
The worth of this kind of investment are not foreseeable. So people should rebalance where theses funds are invested. According to Mr. Butler it is the fool who jumps.

I believe the crisis is more aggressive and will affect mainly citizens from USA and some European Countries. Anyway we should avoid panic but at the same time be aware of fluctuations of share prices. In my opinion we should also avoid contracting debts and investing in risk funds. I understood that some long term investments like pensions funds and nest-eggs for children are not attractive and not so easy to contract anymore.
ResponderExcluirI agree with the text when told that the fluctuation of share prices affect all of us. Nowadays we live in a world where the countries has a economic link. When a power economy doesn’t ok like the USA economy all the world that has any kind of relationship with it suffer too. If we have money to invest, venture capital, is necessary suffer risks to obtain more. When we suffer risks we can earn and loose too. According to the name we have risks. On the other hand, if we don’t want the possibility to lost, automatically we don’t have the chance to earn. In my opinion, the crisis is a period that we can’t suffer risks because the rates changes daily. It’s a unstable period.
