These tools and techniques are particularly useful for active investors who frequently buy and sell securities (stocks,bonds, ETFs, etc.). If you’re a more passive investor, consider instruments that allow you to invest without having to constantly follow the news, such as ETFs (managed by professionals), Armenian bank bonds (guaranteed by the Deposit guarantee fund of Armenia), or Armenian government bonds that are low-risk instruments.
