Guys,

I will be taking ownership of a SIPP via Hargreaves Lansdown after Standard Life transfer my old personal pension and was hoping for some advice or suggestions regarding potential long term holdings? There are a few that I have in mind e.g. Tanfield (TAN), Worthington Nichol (WNG), Silverdell (SID), MyHome (MYH) and Vindon Healthcare (VDN). I'm also planning to invest in some ETF's for more diversity. Although I believe that the above stocks are suitable long term investments my fear is the fact that they are all AIM stocks and you know what they say about eggs and baskets!!

In my other (pocket money) portfolio I already have TAN(in @29p 6 months ago), MYH (whilst in Ofex @44p) and VDN (price hasnt moved much) although not concerned as should move given time. My dilema is having the same stocks in both Portfolios do you think I should be looking elsewhere for my SIPP investments? I would like to point out that I'm not adverse to risk to maximize returns.

Who needs financial advisors when I have the NET & MoneyAM off course!

Rgds,
