Smart Opportunistic Investing: Balancing Risk and Value in SA Shares

Summary

Investing in individual shares requires careful attention to how much those shares are worth and how they fit into your overall portfolio. When you are not sure how long you will keep your investments, it becomes even more important to choose wisely. Opportunistic investing means trying to take advantage of good chances in the market as they come up. While some may see this as risky or contradictory to careful investing, it can be smart if done with a clear plan and understanding of share values. Balancing your portfolio with different types of investments helps reduce risk and improve your chances of steady growth. For ordinary investors, this means being patient, keeping an eye on market trends, and making informed choices rather than jumping at every chance immediately. This approach helps manage risk and can improve financial outcomes over time.
