If I have 150k in my FD now, what should i do?

Current liability
Property 1 (shoplot) Loan (18yrs)
Property 2 (House - to stay in) (20yrs)
Car Loan (15 month to go)

Should i pay off or at least use all of this money to reduce my liability or invest in stock or Unit Trust.
However i am worried of stocks and have no experience in UT.
Index is so high right now i don't think i have the heart in KLSE

Any suggestions?

firstly, dont venture into stocks or UT if u know nothing abt it. u need to learn abt it first.

as for ur shoplot, got rental income or not? if got income to cover the monthly payment, then good. keep it like that.

as for ur fd, u can try to invest it in PNB related fund such as ASB, ASW2020, AS1M etc... its better coz the PNB will manage ur fund, least headache for u...

or u can try meet some UT agent, they can help explain to u what UT is all abt... last time i learn abt UT is from a Public Mutual agent. after that, i learned abt stock market and now my funds are all in stock market....



but if I hav the 150k, i'll be putting 30% into stocks and the balance will be invested in property... earn passive income..

For a fresh grad, i believe the best investment is to invest in urself by learning more abt investment before venturing into it. Once u know better and can manage risks, then only start investing. Myself, it took me 6 months to learn abt stocks before putting my money into it. Same goes to investment in precious metals. Real estate; ive been reading abt it for quite a while already, but still hasnt got the courage to put my money.

Added on September 7, 2011, 9:34 pmbasically my net income is from my salary job (about 3k after deduction) then minus expenses is about 40% to 60% leftover in my SA which I consider as savings since i dint used the money, haven't brought any insurances/ fund/ FD etc... looking for knowledge how to manage my finance since i have extra each month and i think its better put it elsewhere rather than spend it or put it in bank...

just open GIA at PBB, maybe put more money in it coming money, keep survey and look to the market...
