Share Advice for 10+ year hold

001220

Hi all

I’m looking to have abit of a punt with a few hundred pounds spare. I’m looking for a share that is very low price at the moment, for a long term hold of 10 years plus 

Does anyone have any advise on any share that’s worth a punt for the long term?

Many thanks

Are you under the impression that a share with a 'very low price' is inherently undervalued and that it's more likely to go up than down?

Only tip I have is never ask for/listen to share tips.

Why are you looking for a low price?

Would you prefer to buy a half a pint of beer over a pint on the basis that it was half the price?

Maybe low in relation to a previous price , or a company that's seen as under valued.

Thanks all. I guess what I mean is a company that is undervalued at the moment, that would be a good long term hold?

The problem is, stocks are valued at what they're worth (quite literally, the price someone is willing to pay for them). Even worse, people pay more (in terms of value) for stocks with longer term returns. Your only way of paying under value is to have some conviction/secret knowledge that the rest of the world is wrong about something and you know better.

Buy an Investors' Chronicle and see if it has any ideas? You could use e.g., Trading View's screener(s) to look for something with e.g., a low P/E ratio to then do more research on it. 

A "company" could include an investment trust - listed on the stock exchange, a type of company that invests in other companies. They often have a value tilt and they'd be far less risky than investing in a single company.

Don't buy a single company stock. 

If you believe Mr Trump will do wonders for the American economy and US share prices then stick it in HSBC American Index Class C Accumulation. Though legally, currently, he should only be around for a maximum of the first four years of your ten.
