I plan to buy and hold around 50 of the FTSE 100 companies for the long term, I have about 20 at the moment and the plan is to buy more as and whe dips/ corrections occur. I bought Morrisons last week.
Wouldn't it just be cheaper to get an FTSE100 tracker for this, or do you specifically dislike something about 50 of the FTSE100?0 -

Maybe lvader prefer to hold shares itself to potentially gain from any corporate actions, it may be ethics as well, problem with oil, mining, beverages, banks and potentially any sectors as well! If you got problem with environmental, defence, health and financial areas, then you could exclude many of these companies. Lastly, FTSE100 can be overweighted in one area like financial services and it may not be entirely diverse equally over sectors.
In FTSE 100, in the industry sector, there are as follows:
Three Aerospace & Defense
One Auto-mobiles & Parts
Five Banks
Two Beverages
Two Chemicals
One Construction & Materials
One Electricity
Seven Financial Services
One Fixed Line Telecommunications
Three Food & Drug Retailers
Three Food Producers
Five Gas, Water & Multi-utilities
Two General Industrials
Three General Retailers
One Health Care Equipment & Services
One Household Goods & Home Construction
Two Industrial Engineering
One Industrial Metals & Mining
Six Life Insurance
Five Media
Twelve Mining
One Mobile Telecommunications
Two Non-life Insurance
Four Oil & Gas Producers
Two Oil Equipment & Services
One Personal Goods
Three Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
Four Real Estate Investment Trusts
One Software & Computer Services
Eight Support Services
One Technology Hardware & Equipment
Two Tobacco

TSLA - Tesla Motors
Already made 42% from trading during volatile periods and a couple of weeks ago a large holder sold his holding causing the share price to drop 8%. Bought in. Now just waiting for some good news to bring it back up.0 -

I like a lot of the FTSE companies for ease or trading and good dividends but I recon i can do much better than a tracker by managing it myself. I like to be able to buy stocks when a buying oportunity comes up like Tescos after the big drop. Equally if an individual share takes off i can sell to lock in some profits.0 -
I don't often buy individual shares but this year I have bought Tesco, SOCO, and James Cropper. The latter doing well, Tesco so-so an SOCO badly.
I'll reassess same time next year."I don't mind if a chap talks rot. But I really must draw the line at utter rot." - PG Wodehouse0 -

Just topped up on Std Chtd @ 1480p (closed @ 1497.5). Also bought Spirent for first time @ 158p (closed @ 172.75).
Hope to sell Std Chtd at 1620 or so, last reached on 21 March. Will sell more @ around 1670 or buy more @ 1430 on present plans.
Will hang on to Spirent.

what broker do you use to buy your yank shares? you not get bothered by the US holding taxes?
yeah, they yield 12.5%. not exactly the most secure divi though....
i use iii.co.uk - costs £15 instead of their usual £10
the US pay dividends net of tax to the UK investors, but to be honest, my holdings aren't big enough to cause me trouble.0 -
Emed mining a few months ago. A bit up and down, I reckon it's low on uncertainty rather than anything else, and hopefully if the rights to restart this mine in Andalucia are granted in the not too distant I should be on to a winner. The Chinese have bought a 10% stake, and Goldmann Sachs have got involved so I'm in good company“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0
