What’s considered a ‘good investment’ depends on your goals. There isn’t one single answer, and a good investment for one person could very well be a bad investment for another. You need to consider what's a good investment for your situation. This depends on your goals, your appetite for risk, your age, and your investment experience.
A good investment for a 35-year-old might be shares in a growth-oriented company. A good investment for a person who’s no longer working may be high dividend shares, fixed interest investments, or term deposits. It all depends on the situation.
Rather than a good investment, it’s easier to define a bad investment. A bad investment is one that you have no idea why you’re invested in it. You've got no understanding of the underlying asset or business, no idea of the risk involved, and no plan for how long you should be holding it.
So instead of asking yourself ‘is this a good investment?’, instead ask ‘do I understand why I’m doing this?’
