Affected by the expectation of the Fed to raise interest rates next year, the large US technology stocks have recently experienced an overall correction. The current market value of Apple is approximately US$2.8 trillion.
And Microsoft set a record closing high of $343.11 in mid-November, and has continued to range in shocks since then. It is worth mentioning that Microsoft's market value briefly surpassed Apple in October, and the current market value of this software giant is approximately US$2.4 trillion.

As hot star technology stocks, Apple and Microsoft are expected to exceed the $3 trillion market value mark next year. Analysts also pointed out that as the Fed accelerates its turn to Eagles, the volatility of technology stocks will become "more intense and intense, so stock selection will become more important next year.

Hello Mooers , welcome to our topic on long-term investment.
Today, we are going to try something new . We are going to use our TOPI matrix to decide how to go about with our investment.
The TOPI matrix covers Timeframe, Objectives, Positioning and Investment.
Timeframe [T]
First, we decide if we are going to put our money for short term (1 to 3 years), mid term (3 to 8 years) or long term (more than 8 years), before we harvest to pay for our goals.
Objectives [O] (or Goals)
Next, we need to find out our objectives (or goals) that we wish to achieve. These can be down-payment for a car or birthday gifts for our loved ones (short term goals), buying a new house or going for an oversea tour (mid term goal) or our retirement (long term goal).
Positioning [P] strategies
After setting our objectives, we use different positioning strategies to help us. Positioning strategies includes short term trading (positions that last at most a day), mid term trading (positions that last at most a month), long term trading (positions that last more than a month) and size of position (the amount of money into the investment for each position). We can choose the positioning strategies that we are more comfortable with.
Investment [I]
Lastly, we decide what kind of investment that we are keen & comfortable with. It can be short term investment (e.g. saving accounts, fixed deposit), mid term investment (e.g. bonds, index funds), long term investment (e.g. blue chips stocks), low risk investment (e.g. saving account), mid risk investment (e.g. index funds) and high risk investment (e.g. cryptocurrencies & commodities). It can also be mixture of any of them too.
By using the TOPI matrix, we can customize our investment to suit any duration investment, be it short term, mid term or long term ones, and to achieve the objectives that we set earlier.
Before we end, I would like to share a book, titled 'A Few Lessons for Investors and Managers From Warren Buffett'. It is one of the best book that summarize the essence of Warren Buffett knowledge in 81 pages.
