One of the most frequently asked question is

"How Much Should I Invest In 1 Stock?"

Hi, my name is Alvin,

I'm the founder of Dr Wealth.

Before I go into the exact figure,

I would like to share with you some perspectives

in how to determine the minimum amount

as well as...

the maximum amount of investment

you should have in a stock.

Let's start with the minimum amount first.

I would say that

the minimum commission is actually an important factor

to determine the minimum amount you should invest.

In Singapore,

the minimum commission can go as low as $10.

Let's say you invest $100 in 1 stock,

and it cost you $10,

which means your cost is as high as 10%

of your invested amount!

This is quite ridiculous,

because in order for you to make back this 10% from the stock market,

it's going to take a while.

Probably 1 over year, right?

And, you'd only barely break even.

So it doesn't make sense if your percentage of your

investment capital is too high.

It eats into your returns.

Which means if you can just take $10

divided by the minimum commission,

of 1%...

it gives you a figure of $1,000.

This means that if your minimum commission is $10,

and you want to keep your cost within 1%,

you need to invest minimally, $1000.

In my opinion,

this is the way that I think

most people should think about setting their minimum investment capital.

Keep your cost below 1%,

and of course,

if you can keep BELOW 1%,

as low as possible, that'll be the best.

Let's say 0.28%,

or even 0.2%.

That'll save a lot of your cost,

when investing in the stock market,

and you'll be able to make back your returns a lot faster.

Let's move on to the maximum side.

Some of you probably have a lot more capital to invest,

you'll be wondering "how much money should I put into 1 stock?",

such that I'm not taking too much risk

in the process.

To answer that, we'll talk about risk management,

or, what is the degree of reasonable diversification?

What is the number of stocks you should have in your portfolio?

And research have found that,

a portfolio should achieve 12 to 18 stocks,

to have reasonable diversification.

Which means you reduce risk to a reasonable level.

Let's take the middle ground, which is 15 stocks.

if we stretch it to the other end,

if you only invest totally into 1 stock right?

which is 100% in 1 stock,

all your capital in 1 stock

is very dangerous, nobody does that.

So what happens when it's at 15 stocks?

and you invest in them equally,

in your portfolio?

That would mean that you'll only have less than 7% of your capital,

in 1 stock.

This is definitely a lot more comfortable

for people to sleep well at night,

while their investments are put to work.

If you invest 100%, i think...

it is too stressful,

and there's too much risk taken, in that sense.

Today we covered about

the minimum investment amount,

which is $1000.

And, to the maximum amount which is,

7% of your total investment capital,

in 1 stock.

Thank you for watching.

I hope it has given you new insights to investments.

How Many Wills Can You Have at One Time? - Duration: 1:05.

Today's question how many wills can you have at one time? The answer is only one.

That means if you form a new will you should revoke the previous will and

I suggest physically destroy it. While it can be tempting to

keep copies of old wills lying around it can be confusing to your personal

representative when you die finding wills with various dates

therefore if you form a new will I suggest you revoke the old will within

the document most attorneys will put this in the new will but as an

additional step take the old will and shred or burn or physically destroy it

so that your personal representative is not confused after your death when they

find two copies of a will lying around with different dates you should only have

the most recent copy at one time because you can only have one original will at a

time. Great question and thanks for asking.

How many people migrate? - Duration: 6:49.

- Hi, I'm Sophia from Migration Matters.

We are a non-profit organization that wants

to empower you to have better, more nuanced

and more solutions-oriented conversations about migration.

We produce bite-size courses with academics,

practitioners, and the public.

What percentage of all the people in the world

do you think are migrants?

So, we got a lot of different answers

on the street that day, and most of them

were in the double digits.

It's not surprising given that the words we hear

in the media all the time connected to migrants,

asylum-seekers, and refugees are words like

influx, flood, wave, tide, pouring in.

So, we wanted to know:

Are we really living in an age of unprecedented migration?

So, we went to the source to find out.

We asked Hein de Haas,

one of the world's leading thinkers in migration.

- Hello. - Hi, good to meet you.

- Nice to finally meet you. - Hi, good to meet you.

My name is Hein de Haas and I got interested

in migration when I was 17 years old

and embarked upon a train journey to Morocco

because I was curious.

I wanted to see other countries outside of Europe.

And once in Morocco, I discovered

that so far away from home, there are people speaking Dutch

and this turned out to be migrants

who used to live in the Netherlands

and came back and spoke fluent Dutch to me.

And that really fascinated me

how societies so far away from each other

are connected through migration.

- He is a founding member and former director

of the University of Oxford's

International Migration Institute.

He's a current professor of sociology

at the University of Amsterdam,

and he has written a ton on this topic.

So, let's hear what Hein has to say.

- The number of migrants in the world

hasn't actually gone up.

I mean, absolute numbers have gone up,

but the world population also has gone up.

Half a century ago, about 3% of the world population

was an international migrant.

That's still the same percentage.

So, if we look at the longer term,

actually migration hasn't accelerated.

Of course, there's more migrants,

but there's also more people in the world.

- Okay, so there's more people in the world

which means there are more migrants,

but there aren't more migrants proportionally.

That makes sense, I guess.

But, we are living in a time of globalization

and people can travel and move more easily

than ever before.

That's got to be affecting things, right?

- All forms of mobility have gone up

like travel, commuting, business travel,

tourism, obviously, have spiked.

But, actually, migration in terms

of people changing residency

has been remarkably stable again.

Obviously, with growing interconnectivity between societies

in the world, people's awareness of other societies

will only increase in the future.

But that doesn't necessarily translate into more migration.

- Okay, hold up a second.

If the question isn't about the numbers,

then what is it about?

We can't ignore that people feel like

their societies are changing

through immigration and diversity.

- I think the more relevant question,

instead of asking will there be more or less migrants,

is asking where will future migrants come from and go to?

And there, we've seen things happening

over the last 50 years that nobody would have predicted.

Nobody would have predicted 50 years ago

that Europe would become the global migration destination

that currently attracts more people

than, for instance, the United States and Canada together.

So, in the future, migrants may come from

and go to very different countries than right now.

Take one example, China.

Many people think that most Africans

who want to leave the continent all go to Europe

or all want to go to Europe.

Well, first of all, the big majority

of Africans move within the continent

to prosperous countries.

But, actually what few people realize

is that more and more Africans

explore destinations outside of Europe,

and China is one of those new destinations.

What may also shift in the future

is the sources of migrant labor.

You know, after the last decade,

it's been countries like Mexico, Morocco,

Turkey, the Philippines who sort of played this role

of emigration countries and important sources

of both labor and family migrants

in North America and Europe.

- So, Hein's talking here about emigration with an "e",

which means the process of leaving one's home country

and settling or living in another.

Immigration with an "i" is the process

of entering another country.

- Well, those countries are also developing.

A country like Turkey, even before

the Syrian refugee crisis, had become already

a destination for labor and other migrants

going to Turkey, and the number

of Turks leaving Turkey had gone down.

- So, things are changing and they're hard to plan for.

Okay, we get it.

But, since Hein's head is full of understanding

about the trends and causes of migration,

we couldn't let him get off that easy.

So, we asked Hein if there's anything

we can be sure about when it comes

to the future outlook of migration.

- It's almost certain that the future outlook

of migration will be totally different

from the current one.

So, the danger is to take a Eurocentric view

and think that Europe will always remain

the center of the world and the global migration destination,

the same for North American countries.

Those may well shift in the future.

- So, we can't predict what's going

to happen in the future, but we can make

a few assumptions, right?

Like that people from poorer countries will want

to migrate to countries where they have more opportunities.

So, what can Hein tell us about that?

- Actually, the countries that are the poorest,

for instance, in Sub-Saharan Africa,

is the region with the lowest migration in the world.

Because fewer people have the resources

and the opportunities to move around,

even within the continent.

And certainly, when you look at migration

out of the continent, it's actually very low.

And the African countries with relatively high migration

to North America, to Europe, are the relatively stable

and relatively prosperous countries.

Like, for instance, South Africa,

or Senegal or Ghana.

These are the countries that have much higher percentages

of their populations living in the West.

But, of course, once a country and a society

becomes more attractive, stable, and wealthy,

it will start to attract more migrants.

- It makes sense not to be ethnocentric

when it comes to topics like migration,

but I always wonder how we can get people

to think about migration from beyond the personal

or the national level and to understand

and value these bigger trends around them.
