You don’t have to be an expert to invest. And you don’t have to follow the stock market news every day either. You should, however, ask yourself the following questions:
Do I have enough money, alongside my savings?
What's my investment goal?
How long do I intend to invest for?
How much am I willing and able to invest?

How much risk am I willing to run?
How much time do I want to spend on my investments?

You’re spreading the risk and increasing your chance of positive returns.
