Investment Basics - Investment is defined as the act of allocating funds to an asset or project with the expectation of future returns. It can be short-term or long-term, and can involve varying levels of risk and return [3] - The relationship between risk and return is typically proportional; higher returns are associated with higher risks, while lower risks correspond to lower returns.

The forex market is the largest financial market globally, requiring strong risk management and market analysis skills [6] Practical Investment Strategies - Long-term investment focuses on allocating funds to assets with strong growth potential and holding them over an extended period to benefit from compounding and mitigate short-term volatility [7] - Value investing seeks to identify undervalued companies through fundamental analysis, aiming to profit when the market recognizes the company's true value [7] - Growth investing targets companies with high growth potential, focusing on innovation and market expansion, despite the associated higher risks [7] - Technical analysis uses historical price data and trading volumes to predict future price movements, based on the belief that market prices reflect all available information [7] - Dollar-cost averaging is a strategy where investors regularly invest a fixed amount in an asset or fund, regardless of market conditions, to lower average costs over time [8] Risk Management in Investment - Setting stop-loss points helps investors limit losses by predefining a threshold for selling an investment to prevent further losses [10] - Dynamic portfolio adjustment is essential as market conditions change, allowing investors to maintain a balanced asset allocation and optimize returns [10] - Enhancing risk awareness is crucial for investors to understand the risk characteristics of their investments, make rational decisions, and avoid emotional trading [10] Conclusion - Mastering fundamental investment knowledge and strategies, along with effective risk management, can lead to stable returns and wealth growth in financial markets.
