Investing Choices
A couple in their early 30s, Ali and Salma Haek recently inherited $90,000 from a relative. Ali earns a comfortable income as a sales manager for System Analytics, Inc., and Salma does equally well as an attorney with a major law firm. Because they have no children and don’t need the money, they’ve decided to invest all of the inheritance in stocks, bonds, and perhaps even some money market instruments. However, because they’re not very familiar with the market, they turn to you for help.
What kind of investment approach do you think the Haeks should adopt—that is, should they be conservative with their money or aggressive? Explain.
What kind of stocks do you think the Haeks should invest in? How important is current income (i.e., dividends or interest income) to them? Should they be putting any of their money into bonds? Explain.
