should I just invest in one stock?
I want to start investing in stock, but I don't know much about it. I bought a book. I'm trying to study it right now. Most of the information seem vague. It can't give me a definitive answer of what is good or bad.
What if I did this. I got $5,000 to invest. I got more money saved up of course.
I pick one of the highly rated stock like this one http://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/stock...
or a find another stock where the price is stable and generates a dividend.
And I put all $5,000 in that one stock and keep it simple. Is that a good ideal?
I keep hearing that I should diversify.
And mutual funds seem more complicated and they charge various fees.
So is it a good ideal to just invest in one stock in which I may have researched and found dependable?
