Sharemarket Update

Tim Lincoln, Lincoln Stock Doctor

The stock market is still volatile and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. But Tim Lincoln of Lincoln Stock Doctor says that's not a new situation and one that experienced investors should not only be well aware of, but should welcome. For them, he says, it means more opportunity than threat. But four criteria are essential: desire, discipline, time and the tools to manage your investment. It's important not to be distracted by the macro-economic factors that are playing out on the world stage. Focus instead on strong companies and analyse their strength from the bottom up. Sound, well-managed businesses with a clear plan will always come through.
