Share Dealing Discussion Area

Hello gents,

I would like to start investing, and I am willing to put 1,000 into a portfolio next week. I've asked people that are knowledgable in these kind of things, and I so far have decided that Lloyds, GSK, BP, and Gold are decent options for 6 month to a year gains. However, although I try and keep up to date with the markets, most of you are far more wise than me, me being the brash young 20 year old that I am. If you were in my position, what would you do? Would you even tell me to forget stocks and look at Indexes instead?

All the best and many thanks for your time,

Freddie

Look at the discussion boards on iii.co.uk relating to the 4 oil exploration co.s in the Falklands.

I made 14% today alone on the £30 I put down on one co. last week!!

I seriously would waste money in Pharma. Especialyy that sick mut.

I dont know the details of GSK but its been stuck in a negative trend for years as a result it hardly looks overvalued at all. Ive no idea why its viewed so badly but if you can find growth prospects for them go for it I reckon

I wouldn't invest 10p in any Pharma at the moment, all the easy targets have been discovered- the show's over bar some amazing discovery.

Any growth in wealth in countries worldwide I would expect to be reflected in healthcare as its not much point having more money if you dont have good health and alot of asian countries have no formal health system.

However I dont know how well gsk is suited but this lady thinks they are

Big pharma for sure may be struggling with this dilemma but they are often contracting out to smaller biotechs these days, not necessarily for a drug lead, could be process, analysis, validation, trials etc and these outfits can get a big upturn overnight from that benefit.

Rarely look at them myself though, too risky
