These four basic rules of investing will help you avoid stumbling more than necessary.<\/p><p>The first thing to clarify is that the aim of these rules is not to get rich, but to avoid losing your money. Following these recommendations will allow you to make more informed investment decisions&#8230; and save you from unpleasant surprises.<\/p><p>As we&#8217;ve already told you, <strong>the first requirement to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.urbanitae.com\/en\/2022\/12\/20\/1-why-to-invest-before-you-have-to-save\/?utm_source=blog_en&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=urbanitae_blog_0123&amp;utm_term=start_investing&amp;utm_content=en_aprende_guia_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start investing<\/a> is to have saved money<\/strong>\u00a0and have your financial house in order.

This percentage could increase to 30% or 40% depending on what we mentioned: the stage of life and each person&#8217;s risk tolerance. However, the basic rules of investing apply to all investors.

Start early<\/h2><p>The saying &#8220;don&#8217;t put off until tomorrow what you can do today&#8221; also applies to investing. In fact, if you haven&#8217;t started yet, you&#8217;re in luck because now is always the best time. Unless your goal is to get returns in a short time. For most investors, <strong>it&#8217;s never too late, because, in the long run, the market always grows.<\/strong>\u00a0And because returns, however small, multiply your savings over time.<\/p><p>We&#8217;ve already talked to you about <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.urbanitae.com\/en\/2024\/02\/11\/the-power-of-compound-interest-on-your-investments\/?utm_source=blog_en&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=urbanitae_blog_0123&amp;utm_term=compound_interest&amp;utm_content=en_aprende_guia_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compound interest<\/a>. Initially, interest makes your investment grow a little, but then that interest is applied to the slightly larger total. Consequently, <strong>the growth of your savings is not arithmetic, but geometric.<\/strong>\u00a0To give you an idea: imagine you put 1,000 euros in a piggy bank and add 30 euros each month. After 20 years, you would have 8,200 euros. If instead of the piggy bank, you chose a deposit at 2%, in the 20th year you would have 10,400 euros. After 30 years, it would be 16,700&#8230;<\/p><h2>2. Think long term<\/h2><p>The economy has its cycles. Normally, if it has been growing for a long time, there will come a time when it stops and enters a recession \u2013 well, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-53994318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unless you live in Australia<\/a>. This affects the valuation of assets \u2013 those in which you can invest \u2013 although its effect is not uniform. Additionally, there may be complications in one sector but not in others. In short, <strong>it&#8217;s difficult to beat the market:<\/strong>\u00a0to predict what will happen to take advantage.<\/p><p>What doesn&#8217;t change is that the market, like the economy, always grows in the long term. Hence, it&#8217;s never too late to start investing \u2013 without being carried away by euphoria or the decisions of other investors. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/05\/17\/what-warren-buffett-says-to-do-when-markets-are-down.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Warren Buffett said<\/a>, &#8220;To make money in investing, you need to buy good companies and hold them for long periods of time.&#8221; Of course, the first part is easier when you&#8217;re Warren Buffett&#8230;<\/p><h2>3. Diversify<\/h2><p>Ray Dalio, founder of the hedge fund Bridgewater Associates and considered one of the most influential people in the world, states that <strong>diversification is the &#8220;holy grail&#8221; of investing.<\/strong> The key to success is simple: &#8220;Find 15 or 20 good sources of income that are not correlated with each other.&#8221; Again, the experience of being Ray Dalio counts for a lot.<\/p><p>But the idea is clear. If we invest in different assets, different sectors, different countries, or at different times, we dilute the risk. <strong>Urbanitae&#8217;s proposal is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.urbanitae.com\/en\/2023\/03\/26\/the-benefits-of-diversification\/?utm_source=blog_en&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=urbanitae_blog_0123&amp;utm_term=diversification&amp;utm_content=en_aprende_guia_2\">diversification<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0starting with small amounts, it allows investing in a variety of independent projects and diversifying by type of asset and location.<\/p><h2>4. Make sure you understand it<\/h2><p>Even the most classic investment options deserve a careful examination. If you have doubts between TIN and TAE, don&#8217;t know exactly what a coupon bond is or the difference between gross and net return, <strong>ask before deciding.<\/strong>\u00a0And make sure to invest in something you can understand how it works. Part of the disaster that occurred during the Great Recession \u2013 the global crisis that started in 2007 \u2013 was that many invested in products \u2013 derivatives \u2013 like CDS or CDO, which were hard to untangle.<\/p><p>In summary, don&#8217;t get carried away or make hasty decisions. And choose investments that you can explain to your parents&#8230; or that <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanitae.com\/en\/?utm_source=blog_en&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=urbanitae_blog_0123&amp;utm_term=you_can_touch&amp;utm_content=en_aprende_guia_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can touch<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d9c7fb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default parallax_section_no qode_elementor_container_no\" data-id=\"8d9c7fb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-de4f017\" data-id=\"de4f017\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0e7ee0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-creative-button\" data-id=\"c0e7ee0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-creative-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"eael-creative-button-wrapper\">\n\n            <a class=\"eael-creative-button eael-creative-button--rayen eael-cb-icon-position-left\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.urbanitae.com\/en\/2022\/12\/20\/1-why-to-invest-before-you-have-to-save\/\" data-text=\"Go!\">\n            \t    \n                <div class=\"creative-button-inner\">\n\n                                            <span class=\"eael-creative-button-icon-left\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-arrow-alt-circle-left\"><\/i><\/span>                    \n                    <span class=\"cretive-button-text\">Previous episode<\/span>\n\n                                    <\/div>\n\t                        <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-edb825e\" data-id=\"edb825e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8c571c elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-creative-button\" data-id=\"c8c571c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-creative-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"eael-creative-button-wrapper\">\n\n            <a class=\"eael-creative-button eael-creative-button--rayen eael-cb-icon-position-right\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.urbanitae.com\/en\/2023\/01\/26\/4-how-to-plan-investments-well\/\" data-text=\"Go!\">\n            \t    \n                <div class=\"creative-button-inner\">\n\n                    \n                    <span class=\"cretive-button-text\">Next episode<\/span>\n\n                                            <span class=\"eael-creative-button-icon-right\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-right\"><\/i><\/span>                                    <\/div>\n\t                        <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most important ingredient for investment success is time.
