Arab Idol star to perform in Sharjah



Arab Idol star Hazem Sharif will take part in the musical show at the Al Majaz Amphitheater in Sharjah next week.

The production, called Shadows, also features Lebanese singer Carole Aoun and the Inana Group. The musical’s theme is of peace and the production combines poetry, song and theater.

“This specific work was chosen because of its noble values, reflecting love for one’s homeland, pride in one’s heritage as well as the vision of a bright future,” said Osama Samra, director of the Sharjah Media Centre.

Shadows takes place on February 22 and 27.

How to become a Boglehead

Bogleheads follow simple investing philosophies to build their wealth and live better lives. Just follow these steps.

•   Spend less than you earn and save the rest. You can do this by earning more, or being frugal. Better still, do both.

•   Invest early, invest often. It takes time to grow your wealth on the stock market. The sooner you begin, the better.

•   Choose the right level of risk. Don't gamble by investing in get-rich-quick schemes or high-risk plays. Don't play it too safe, either, by leaving long-term savings in cash.

•   Diversify. Do not keep all your eggs in one basket. Spread your money between different companies, sectors, markets and asset classes such as bonds and property.

•   Keep charges low. The biggest drag on investment performance is all the charges you pay to advisers and active fund managers.

•   Keep it simple. Complexity is your enemy. You can build a balanced, diversified portfolio with just a handful of ETFs.

•   Forget timing the market. Nobody knows where share prices will go next, so don't try to second-guess them.

•   Stick with it. Do not sell up in a market crash. Use the opportunity to invest more at the lower price.
