so you just showing off?

>>1371672

I'm trying to get advice on whether I should just keep investing into these 'safe' stocks, or whether I should be investing in other means for gains

>look i posted it again!!!

>>1371680
You should probably diversify your shit, get some US equity and vanguard global index funds in there

>>1371680
so investing in these is sure to make money?

>>1371694

I may do this next paycheck, need to look further into Vanguard funds

>>1371693
Thanks, I'll read this. Would you say this information is relatively credible?

>>1371695
It isn't certain, no. I call them 'safe' because they're pretty stable companies in terms of growth

>>1371697
if you dont understand how the market is cyclical , or you dont trust a professional retirement financial consultant, why would u trust me?

the only way your going to sleep easy is if you educate yourself on the market and economics.

ignorance = fear

>>1371695
As long as you dont panic and you go in long term you will profit, usually takes 5 years to smooth out any bumps

before you invest in a company. go to their website. and pour thru their investor relations information. you will learn a lot.

You should have put that money in an index fund. Statistically speaking you'll have made more money in those funds than investing in single stocks. Also you're going to get fucked in fees. Invest in vanguard SP 500 market fund and then global market. Only have one stock company in your portfolio.

These are good companies post-Brexit. Own/have owned a few myself. These are mostly only doing well bc the pound is so week. Consider buying index funds. Dividend yields for FTSE index funds still good (4% or so ) and less volatile. If one of these collapses (which I doubt, but just saying) it'll have a huge hit on your portfolio. Less so on an index tracker.

Also >>1371694 has a point get global exposure. I think it's good to favour your home country, especially now we need inward investment, but it's equally good to have a balanced portfolio.

>>1371666
Have you considered buying in penny stocks ?

>>1371711
>>1371715

I'm going to look into index/vanguard funds. How do dividend yields on these types of funds work? Do you receive a regular string of dividends from the portions of companies within the funds, or is it bulked together every now and then?

>>1371734
Yeah, but since I work most of the time I don't really have time to research. I'd love to quit my job and live off trading penny stocks, but I'm too scared of financial insecurity

>>1371666
So what am I looking at here? Faggot penny stock Robin Hood we here. When you say long-term how long have you been holding these stocks? Also did you make 7% gain today or is that in total since you began?

>>1371755
He said he invested £1000/month and it's written that he invested 8k in total. Do the math faggot.

>>1371755

I say long term because these companies are stable, established companies and their stockprice is generally steady, with a gradual growth and increasing dividend yields, and are therefore generally considered safe. 7% total gain, I've been investing £1k per month since January
