help needed about this stock portfolio? bac,yhoo,c,pfe,aapl,cal?
hi. i recently started investing .can you suggest if i have bought a wrong stock. i am new to investing and i knew it was very premature for me to start investing ( i m 23), but the excitement of playing in the market got me carried away. these are the stocks i have:
CAl – continental airlines
BAC- bank of america
C- citi group
pfe- pfizer inc
aapl- apple
yhoo- yahoo
i just have 10 stocks of each. i have just 3 apple shares. currently i have free trade of ameritrade, so i can trade free for 15 more days. thts the reason i have few stocks of different companies. but now i want to reduce to 2 or 3 companies only.
can anyone suggest if there are any wrong stock here and if i need to get rid of any.
moreover can you suggest what type of research does any1 need to do. means how can one predit if i stock will do well. i have free time on my hands this summer and i want to utilise it.
thanks a lot for ur help.
10 shares of each. Starting with BAC and C, pick one, sell the other. BAC looks better at this moment, but the first shoe hasn’t dropped for them, let alone the second.
CAI – I don’t do airlines.
PFE – The dividend is good and is probably safe – hold it
Dump one bank. On the safe side, try NKE, UA, or utilities like DUK or SE. TSM and KEP are also good.
Yhoo is 50/50 – maybe you win, maybe you’re left holding the bag. I say sell it on a good day.
AAPL: good stock – too expensive for me!
As for research, read everything available about the companies that interest you. And, don’t believe everything you read or hear on TV. One good way to predict a stock’s performance is to measure its foreign market exposure. One person suggested PG and someone suggested GE. Both companies are benefiting from overseas growth and both firms are diversified.
