Stock market investing

Forget about making money fast
Or get rich quick schemes that never last
Investing in the stock market will give you returns
And dividends will ensure your investment earns

Forget about trading for a quick profit
Hoping that hot tip is about to rocket
Investing means choosing stocks for two reasons
Capital growth and income to get through the seasons

And sticking with this theme of two
Timing and yield will see you through
That means buying when the stock price is low
with high dividend yield that’s poised to grow

So don’t be tempted to just trade like the rest
You must be deliberate and patient to invest
Growth and income are then obtainable
And a self-sufficient lifestyle will be sustainable
