Investment Appraisal

About a year ago I took travellers cheques to France and had to bring them back again, because nowhere - not even the banks - would accept them.

Might I suggest that this homework is a little out of date; weren't you supposed to hand it in in 1970?

So you have half of your total wealth in one company's shares.

Ouch, you need to diversify.

I share Troy's suspicion that this is a homework question, but I will bite anyway.

You have a lot of your money in Arm and Sage shares. Both are pretty high risk and you want to diversify out of there.

You also have some money in a non-interest bearing foreign currency investment, the travellers cheques. This isn't a good idea.

And approaching retirement, depending on your pension arrangements, it is advisable to put more of your savings into dank savings accounts, especially aconsidering the fact that your holdings are both in hi-tech companies. There's not enough money there to buy a house, and you'd find it difficult to get a mortgage for a reasonable term of years.

But if you rely on the opinions of all the losers who lurk around usenet, you'll come unstuck. How do you know that I know what I'm talking about?
