Straits Times index gain 12% in 2 months

In spite of an uncertain global economy, the Straits Times Index gained 12% during the first two months of 2012 and gave a dividend yield of 3.7%. Who would have thought that the stock market could be robust? This shows the importance of investing for the  long term, and not speculate on short term trends - as no one can make an accurate and reliable prediction. To learn about investing for the long term, attend the FISCA workshop that wil be held on 31 March 2012. See www.fisca.sg (events). Do not miss this last workshop sponsored by SGX.
