Think back to the first time you made an investment, for example, by contributing to your RRSP. Then answer the following questions:
- Which type of investment did you choose (e.g. stocks, bonds)?
- Are the capital and the return guaranteed? If so, who is offering the guarantee?
- What are the conditions for cashing in your investment?
- What is the expected return?
- How much tax will you have to pay on the gains?
- Are there other more suitable investments for you?
Many investors can’t answer these questions. Yet this is YOUR money. So, before investing, investigate.
