Hi All,

Have been thinking about investing in stocks / shares, and am about to take the plunge. I have some money to invest, I suppose like most people I want a quick big return for my invesments, and the reality wil not be so, this I am prepared for as I know the investments have to be for the medium to long term.

My question is, should I be looking to thinly spread investments into say 8 - 10 companies, or to invest in 2 or 3 companies. Like I mentioned before, I know there is no magic formula, but a few pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to invest for the future, I have a full time job, which is nothing to do with finance / investments, so this is an exciting project I am looking forward to.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Buy the pullbacks indeed! This a lovely example over a long time period. Best level is behind so no advice given!!
