Answer:
The correct answer is FALSE.
- First it's not sound investment advice to put all his savings into an investment because as the narrative rightly points out, he may have other needs.
- Second, high growth stock are also
- high risk
- they only pay in the long term only if the company is successful because dividends are re-invested which is one of the reasons the companies grow quickly.
Although they are high risk, they also have great advantages such as:
- High growth rate: this means if all goes well David will enjoy a good return on his investment;
- It's also a way to protect his money from erosion by inflation
What can David do?
Subject to the advise of a professional investment professional
- David needs to take into consideration his immediate needs, set aside some funds to take care of that.
- Invest the balance into a mix of high growth rate stock which are high yielding but risky and low growth rate but secure investment like government bonds.
- Start a small business by the side or get a job in the interim as he continues with his new life.
Cheers!
