I hope no one minds a new thread?
As someone with some money to invest(thank you XRO) and being too cheap to go to a brokerage for advice, I thought I would hijack this forum for my own ends.
I am looking for an investment to add to my portfolio and just wondering what people think. There are so many great shares on offer at the moment so its hard to decide which bandwagon to jump on.
Portfolio is currently
XRO 10,000
IBM 250
CEN 1,100
VHP 2,600
A small but strange portfolio, lovingly created over the last 10 years but its only recently that I have actually been putting thought into any of it. I want to put about $10k back into the market into one stock and it would be interesting to see if there was a consensus over what people think is a good investment.
Just looking for one company with a good long term outlook and maybe a dividend.
Just interested in opinions and I am aware that this is not a substitute for professional advice (although based on some of the advice that I have received from various brokers over the years, I believe that there is a greater depth of knowledge on this forum than any paid institution)
Just let me know if this is not an appropriate thread. Cheers.
