Investors more concerned about stocks, expert claims

Thu, 16 Aug 2007

Many investors are concerned about their stock market equity due to recent volatility in the world of international finance, it has been claimed.

David Kuo, the head of personal finance at consumer advice firm The Motley Fool, said that Britons are increasingly turning to the web to seek out the latest ups and downs in their investments .

The expert cited data from Hitwise that revealed an 11 per cent surge in internet traffic on August 10th, as concerned investors sought to find out how the shifting machinations of finance would impact upon their own nest eggs.

However, Mr Kuo also called for calm and urged those concerned not to panic over their investments yet.

"Investors should also try to remember that crises often fizzle out and turn out to be nothing more than short-term blips," he remarked.

"At Fool.co.uk we are continually advising investors to remain calm and invest for the long-term."

Those concerned about the stock market may wish to examine other investment areas such as property, or even antiques and objet d'art that stand to become increasingly valuable.
