First time trading, I am going for INTC, SWPR, and XOM. what are your thoughts? For one, I will be investing INTC for long term stocks. they are at around 20 dollars and I cant see them doing worst than this. I have been following them for a long time and I think its time for me to buy INTC.

Another one is SunPower Corporation. I was going to go for First Solar but I think their stock has reached a limit and wont be going up too soon but I have faith in Sunpower Corporation.

EXXONMobile for the obvious reasons

thats about it.
the latter 2 are just short term stocks. probably will take out after a year or less.

what do you think? Dont want to invest too many stocks so I can keep track since this is my first time.

None of us have the ability to see the future, so we cannot tell you if the stocks will do well or not.

I do like the fact that you have picked large cap companies. I also like the fact that you have gone for a mixture of value and growth stocks.

While I agree with limiting the number of stocks at first, I am a little concerned about two thirds of the companies being in energy. I also think you might want to consider having one of the three companies being more diversified.

While I have the reservations I noted, I think your choices are more attractive than 90% of the stocks people ask about on message boards and Yahoo answers.

I wish you well in you future investments. 100% 1 Vote
