Investments

Sorry, few updates this week due to general busy-ness and a web hosting issue that prevented posting.

Last year I dipped my toe in the sharemarket: I bought shares in Xero, the cloud accounting service.

They were about $25 at the time. Since then they have dropped in price by about half.

Xero share price, last 2 years

If only I’d bought them back when I got a tip-off to do so, when they were at about $6. Oh well, I didn’t put too much in, and I knew it was a gamble.

Meanwhile I noticed this story: Lego a ‘better investment than shares and gold’

Apparently I should have bought Lego, not Xero.

Oh well, I.T. related stocks tend to boom and bust. Xero could take off (upwards) by the year’s end. Here’s hoping.
