I have ard 62K cash savings. About 12k in investment spread across different portfolio. Should I increase my investment amount?

Since you're only 28 y.o. and still has more than 3 decades ahead of you, you can consider investing into more US growth stocks.

​

How to do that?

​

I'd suggest to start your foot in the right direction, pay to learn & invest in your knowledge. It's not a popular idea but I like to accelerate my learning without making too many mistakes.

​

So far since Oct 2019, I've taken a couple of courses on investments. Below are the three I recommend, which I've taken. Please feel free to counter check with others.

• Growth Investing Mastery
• Piranha Profits - Options Trading Course (for trading)
• MoneyWiseSmart - Options Series (for investing)

If you go for the highest level, it will set you back close to $10K, but this will be a lifetime of money-making knowledge that even formal university education may not get you. These will teach you how to fish.

​

If DIY learning, my concern is one step forward, two steps back. Consistency is key to growing the money long-term (the word here of importance is "long-term").

​

Alternatively, you can consider going for stock pick services like The Smart Investor, Motley Fool, Potential Multibaggers, or other types on Seeking Alpha.

​

Note: Options are leverage tools, but if you know how to use them well, it can bring benefits. When you take care of the risk, and the profits will take care of themselves. All the best!

​

You might want to focus on stocks that you are familiar with. Maybe let's say tech. Invest in a few stocks that you are very familiar with. Like Apple / MSFT. Things that you use everyday.
