Then when is the right time to invest? “The answer is of course when you are ready! Do not follow the 3 TA, which is tamak (greedy); want to get a lot of benefit in quick time, takut (fear); not dare to buy or sell, and tamat (finish); don?t want to invest in the stock anymore because the predictions are often wrong,” said Roy Sembel. This UPH Dean of Business School offers ‘The WISDOM Way’ to invest. Watak (Character), knowing and analyzing the current situation. Ingin/Impian (wish or dream), knowing the purpose of investment. Siasat (tactic), know what to do. Didik (educate), learn in a holistic way. Otak dan Otot (brain and muscles), working hard and smart. Motor, Monitor, and Management, observed what we are investing.

About what should be invested, Sembel said the importance of seeing the investment environment, investment instruments, and investor profile. “These three things have to be fit. We know the environment, instruments, and identify ourselves. For example we are an easily panic person, the investment should not place in a high fluctuation one. By knowing it all, we must have comfortable, prosperous, and efficient investment,” he explained.

At the end of his presentation, Sembel give the message, “If you want to invest, you must alert, not panic. Then think long term, invest consistently, knowing risk management and fact-based analysis.” (cyn)
