"Arguably the most important principle behind any investment portfolio is risk diversification. Currency, interest rate, equity and commodity derivatives can quickly and cheaply perform this risk spreading." ... "Exchange traded futures are a great leveller. The price for a blue chip bank is the same as for an individual. However, as Barings showed in Singapore, losses can soon accumulate to lead to a billion dollar loss. So investors should not be seduced by the low initial margin deposits required up front. These margins are only meant to cover one day's worth of market movements in the particular futures contract. Derivatives should be avoided unless the investor is sure he can manage the risk." more

Si cualquier inversión a realizar, requiere un perfecto conocimiento sobre la solidez de la entidad financiera, las inversiones a largo plazo requieren una solidez más afianzada, en el bien entendido que no es lo mismo un depósito a cinco anos que una entrega de un Bono del Estado a unos días. Al propio tiempo, debe ser un requisito de obligado cumplimiento, que el inversor conozca y entienda perfectamente todas y cada una de las condiciones - incluyendo la letra pequeña - de esa preciso producto financiero. De esta manera conocerá y comprobará por sí mismo, que ése, es el producto que quiere y el que se acomoda a sus requerimientos y necesidades. Y si existe algun punto que no le queda totalmente claro, debe pedir la correspondiente aclaracion. Sin miedos ni vergüenzas." details
