Suggest you read investment articles from qualified Chartered Financial analysts like Bill Gross (top bond fund manager) or Bill Choo at SecondOpinion.asia instead of asking here. Its your hard earned money after all |

Yours is not the worse portfolio ideas I've seen. But;
Looking for stock investment ideas from strangers, whose qualifications and motives can never be known.... is a terrible idea.
You say you want dividends..... more than capital growth & yet you say you want Apple stock..... that's a total contradiction. WOLWF stock (Woolworths) is a joke and should be on no ones stock list (less than 10,000 shares trade a day......... you shouldn't even consider a stock with less than 500,000 shares traded everyday. CWBS (Commonwealth Bank) traded 13,000 shares yesterday. That's nuts. MYE (Myers) is just as bad (& it's dropped by 23% just since April 26th).....
You need to read some books on investing........ you are gambling.... and gambling poorly.
You're not even investing as you suggest you want to (Dividend stocks suggest conservative investments..... your stocks are not "conservative".
BTW: I own Apple. It's a very volatile holding but a great growth stock. It's the only stock you own that's worth it..... However... it's far from being a conservative holding. |

This really depends on what your goals are and the time frame you have for your investments. Regardless, I would encourage you to consider a sector as opposed to just an individual company. From there, I would tell you to consider whats called an Exchange Traded Fund, or ETF. They are similar to Mutual Funds in that each share holds little bits and pieces of several companies but differ in that they can be traded similarly to stocks; that is, they can be held for very short periods of time (minutes or even seconds), while a Mutual Fund is designed to be held for a longer term. Also, there are generally no loads associated with ETF's where as there may be loads (fees) associated with holding Mutual Funds.
The biggest reason I am suggesting an ETF is because its very difficult to be diversified with just 5 stocks. Also, I have a feeling you're new to investing and for that reason I would suggest really studying the company your considering putting your money with as opposed to just listening to the pundits talk about how they feel about the stock. An ETF will allow you to out your money to work with significantly less risk while you take the time to complete your due diligence and ensure yourself that you're making the right choices.
I know, this is not really answering the question as you'd like, but not diversifying yourself makes for a VERY bad day if something were to go bad with one of your companies. |
