Reasons of buying:
1. value (based on research data). I believe that near term(1 to 6 month), they should offer good return. I believe the 2011 tax change has long factored in price.
2. Also, really, did not find better investments to own.
3. Also, I do not possess adequate skills to be a profitable trader. Too bad, wish I do. Then perhaps I can just retire and enjoy life.
4. These set of stocks (some more not mentioned) I bought this time, I intend to use them as an experiment for this new way of investing. Will see how it turns out.
My positions are small (a few hundreds of shares each), so I do not worry about the volume. Good things is that they seem mostly in black today. pretty happy.
Any recommendations welcome. Many thanks.
a lot to learn in the world of investing. But, aren't they most important and fun these days?
