This are the investment trusts I am picking not only for 2005, but also for the longer term
1. BRITISH EMPIRE SEC & GENERAL TRUST - A UK companies growth trust - This has been performign quite well for a number of years and delivers stable consistent growth, I expect it to continue to outperform the market, and class this as a long-term investment, i.e. over 5 years, as long as the stock market does not slump again, 5 years from now it will have probably more than tripled.
2. ABERDEEN NEW THAI INV TRUST - This is a more speculative investment, and so carries a much smaller position size. Now sooner rather than later, I'm expecting dynamic growth in Thailand, i.e. following the other asiatic countries who are at various stages of development. It may take several years, but again I expect an eventual growth in the multiple region.
3. JP MORGAN FLEMING INDIAN IT - India the NEXT China ! Simple as that, this is another trust that has deliveried consistent growth that I expect to continue into the longterm.
All of the above are long-term investments, i.e. minimum 3 years and preferably more than 5. |

I was thinking about what to invest in during the new year, was goign to opt for shares, but on second thoughts investment trusts are probably safer |

Neo is it a good time to buy these trusts now ? Since they have gone up a fair bit or should I wait for them to fall a little
Thanks |

| If a trust or stock goes up then you should buy it as that is a sign of weakness, waiting for a fall and you may miss another doubling, wheras if a stock falls it may fall a lot further. |
