Need your Input

rookienoob · Jul 26, 2017

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know some advice please. If I have 100k, I do not want to do day trading. I kind of want to do Monthly or yearly trading since i do not have much time. I would love to own stocks in the following companies. I have been doing research and following these companies below for the last 5 years, without investing, and reading up alot about these companies. So here is what I would like to invest.

1. P&G - 20,000 Worth of stocks
2. JNJ - 15,000 Worth of Stocks
3. Merck - 10,000 worth of stocks
4. Verizon - 10,000 worth of stocks
5. Pepsi co - 20,000 worth of stocks
6. Mylan stock - 5,000 worth of stocks
7. BP Stock - 5,000 worth of stocks

I want diversify and ONLY looking to JUST invest and keep researching in these companies and following these companies. I DO NOT want to get rich quick thing. I want to invest, keep an eye on the market, and Not trade daily but maybe once a month or once in few months, if I get gains, I will keep increasing amounts in P&G, and JNJ and Pepsi over the time.

Whats your input guys? Please advice. I am definately not investing in penny stocks or any companies that I don't have any information, these are the only companies i will be investing in.

Hi there, no mater what companies you are going to invest my suggestion before you do is this:
1. 5 years is not much time for back testing, because we have been in a bull market those 5 years...
2. What is your risk management, if something is to happen tomorrow and the market gets down 50% in the then next few months (already happened twice in the last 15 years), how do you plan to exit and please do not do long only "buy and hope" strategy, just look at the Japanese market (at the time the second most power economy in the world posed to overtake the US) and today almost 20 years from its peak is still 50% down...

Bottom line: you have to have a plan before putting your money on the line, otherwise is like pure gambling... take your time, the market is going to be here tomorrow, next month and next year...

The market is rather high and a collapse is due soon. Go for buy low sell high, and not buy high sell low. You don't even need 1 year of data.
