Small scale Buffet

asked by Lucy Sandler posted 2 Years ago at 9:59
I'm looking at starting a portfolio and need a little advice on what to look for. It would only be a small investment, of about £7500, that I will grow over time.

I was thinking of going for pretty safe companies that are relatively cheap at the moment. Obviously i'm not expecting to make a fortune, but it will hopefully earn more than sitting in the bank!

Am I better off going for companies such as Tesco, etc, or are there better options available out there for the small time investor?

Take a look at today's blog by Rob Davies, it will give you an insight into equity research and might be a place to start, Blue collar research best for big caps, white collar research for small caps. http://www.totalinvestor.co.uk/i/blogs/show/536

Hi Lucy

I congratulate you on your initiative to start a share portfolio. Even if you start with a relatively small amount, you can still make good returns over the long time.

Our investment strategy is based on investing in historically undervalued dividend paying shares with growing dividends. Building our own Dividend Income Portfolio, the security of our growing dividends are 'sacrosanct'.
