£10k to invest for a novice

[Guest Yoda-Investment]

I have a bit of money for an initial investment(s) and I would be grateful for some ideas on the best options to do so.

 

I will be splitting these investments across a number of stocks. I have been watching:

 

Mricon Tech
Tesla
Horizon Pharma
Broadcom
BP 

Rio Tinto

AMD

 

Thanks,

If you are looking at long term then many of those stocks look good, especially Rio, BP and Tesla. But careful with commodities as we have seen substancial gains and therefore might be best to wait for a decent pullback, also be aware as well that Trump may or may not deliver which could impact those stocks. It also depends what instrument you are using such as share dealing, futures, spread trading or CFD. Don't trade anything you cannot afford to lose. Final point with equity indexes at all time highs with a potential trade war as well many of those stocks could be impacted. Might be worth looking at banks too as they could more than likely thrive under Trump due to de-regulation and potential future interest rate hikes.

But make own decisions of course not suggesting you do anything i suggest, but overall they look interesting. A well diversified portfolio is key and try and give some good weight to those that would do well under the current and new environment.
