By the sounds of it there are a few investors on the forum, those who tried to get in on the Royal Mail float, the recent thread about GSK and now VODA so thought it might be good to have a thread dedicated to investing, and see how other amateurs compare (with the obligatory by GOLD post by you know who).
I now have a portfolio of 21 companies, mostly blue chip with a high dividend yield, but some like VODA, CSR, AV and BA have given me value gains of between 25% and 40% with a yield of about 4% on top of that.
My biggest allocation is in Lloyds with 36% of my entire holding in one company, but as I bought them at 44p I am slowly brining this down and distributing it between my others.
For those who care my shares and holdings in each are:
11.10% AV
1.78% BA
2.17% BBY
6.76% BATS
2.06% BRBY
3.23% CSR
2.09% DGE
3.06% FGP
10.29% GSK
2.91% KCOM
36.13% LLOY
2.81% NG
6.56% RIO
2.11% RMG
1.15% SSE
1.10% TSCO
1.01% ULVR
3.67% VOD
With BP and BNLD on my watch list
