Investing in a New Era

Gen Z investors have greater access to the stock market than earlier generations. Social media buzz and reviews from influencers have gained popularity among SG's Gen Z investors where many have turned to seeking for investing information. The quick format of videos on social media apps allows for complex information to be explained in an easy and engaging manner, which makes it very appealing to the younger investors. While investing education on social media is useful, it would be wise not to overlook the traditional measures of a stock which include market cap, P/E ratio, P/S ratio and EPS. Knowing company fundamentals would still be important for making investment decisions even in a bullish market as investors can never predict for sure when the bull market will end. While small cap stocks are popular among the Gen Z investors for their low capital and spectacular gains within a shorter time frame, these stocks tend to be more unpredictable and trading on momentum rather than actual fundamentals. Financial literacy would be a useful commodity to possess in the new investing era.  Investing is one of the best ways to accrue monetary gains over the long term and achieve one's financial goals, but investors should not approach investing with the mindset of getting rich fast. The most dependable way to build wealth is to take a long term approach which prioritises buying and holding high quality stocks for the long haul. The stock market can gain and lose value in unpredictable manner and the best way to cope with market volatility and price fluctuations is patience. Long term investors could generate wealth without spending overwhelming amounts of time sweating over their stock portfolios.
