    Hi,
    I'm reviewing some of my plans, and I have too much of our savings as cash at the moment.  However everything I look at seems to be dropping, leading me to think that for at least a month or so I should hold off.
    What are others finding, do people have investments that are growing or at least holding their own right now?  By which I mean not showing a loss over the last week or month.
    Thanks.
    I feel the same way, in terms of having cash that needs to be invested, but where to put it. I agree with others who've said a month  or so is irrelevant when investing, but that still doesn't make answering the question any easier!

    The best answer for the nervous is to maybe stick it a savings account and get the best interest you can, maybe fix some of it for a year. Or, as Notepad_Phil has said, drip feed the money in, it does feel safer that way.
  • I think a lot depends on how soon you think you will want the cash & how much, and do you have any cash reserves for the unexpected, so that you can leave your invested money....Invested

    There will always be a reason not to invest.
