Newbie portfolio

I would imagine that will be a lot of commssion/fees to pay splitting 10k by 4. My personal view is that it is to many, but you need to work out the cost of 1 versus 4 trades and factor that into the likely returns.

That will come back to your timeframe and goals. Which of those (or any others)do you thin k will do best over your investment timeframe.

The time frame is long term with a goal to have a portfolio of companies paying dividends to supplement/replace my income by retirement age, hopefully earlier.

Boring excites me.!!!! Good picks.

Problem is the companies I like don't seem to follow the general consensus that the younger you are the more aggressive growth shares you should have. I'm in my late 20's.

Remember the halfwits you were at school with,most probably struggling through life.
Remember those clever guys who were always top of the class,most probably doing very well for themselves today.
Shares, you own part of a company.Like those people you went to school with,some companies are halfwits while others are high achievers.High achievers usually keep on high achieving. Your share selection of SKC,RYM,AIA,and FPH have a history of high achieving,and should continue to do so.Leave the aggressive growth shares[halfwits and dimwits]to others.
