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!

There is a thread I manage on the Traders room about SIPPs and the investments held - just for people to look at and discuss. I will start an equivalent one over here but it will have to wait until Easter as I'm on holiday from tomorrow.

To whet your appetite (or warn you off!) the stocks I hold are:

BRW, BT.A, LEAD, LLOY, SID, VOD, WNG

Hi Seymour Clearly,

Creating a similar thread within the Investors room would be great!

Unfortunately I sold LEAD (personal portfolio not SIPP) last week as I had held for 9mths and was beggining to get frustrated with it. Looking at the last few days it looks like it may be gaining some momentum...typical. I may still buy back in as I feel its way undervalued! As for the others at a quick glance, SID & WNG will be doing your SIPP no harm at all!

Thanks again and enjoy your break.

Rgds,

Ian, just call me SC :-)

Have held WNG from 120, SID is recent so only just into profit, LEAD just to say in profit now. My biggest profit is on BRW which I seem to have had for years although it's more like 20 months or so, showing a huge profit on those. The FTSE 100 stocks, best not mentioned!!

Have a look at this link for now:
