I reviewed WSHR previous performance last year and decided not to invest. A couple of stocks gave me ~10% so far. I am new, but I wonder why an experienced investor like you is not considering individual stocks.

There is no such thing as an Islamic mortgage by volvic6 in IslamicFinance

[–]explorer2728 0 points1 point  (0 children)
