Investment Value or Consumption?
In her presentation, Rullia Azana Santisa said that investment is a basic and important concept before someone enters the world of stocks and capital markets. This basic concept certainly contains the risk of uncertainty, so that it invites participants to think again about what to invest.
“We must be able to distinguish something that is invested can have investment or consumption value. Because of the investment itself, we buy something that has more value and grows in the future,” he explained.
He also shows the comparison of returns on investment instruments, where stock investment is an instrument whose value grows every year so that stock investment is suitable as an alternative in investing,
Meanwhile, Wilhelmus Surya explained the reason for investing, in addition to future needs and increasing the value of wealth, also to have reserve funds during inflation. Inflation will occur every year and make the value of money continue to decline.
"If we only save in the bank, of course our money will also continue to shrink given the charge, so that investing in stocks can be an alternative option in money management," he explained.
In the final session, he invited participants, especially students, to be aware of common investment scams such as persuasion and several investment modes under the guise of MLM. "Obviously the most important thing is to be licensed or not from the Financial Services Authority (OJK). If you don't have a permit, it's better not to get involved," he said. [UNESA PR]
