That's OK Robert. I'm afraid I prefer not to overly advise folk on what or how they should invest. Which stocks you buy and how many of each is really up to you, and what your own personal stock analysis tells you. You have my e-mail address should you wish to discuss anything further. A point to remember is this .... quite often good, QUALITY companies are targeted by Short sellers who have seen Value in those stocks. They usually have fairly "deep pockets" and will use their financial muscle to "force" the price down, having sold ahead at a higher price. So what you have is a stock, that over the longer term, has an upward price move with occasional fall off in its price. On my web site I show three examples of S.A. companies that display this quite clearly. Therefore one needs the "courage of one's Fundamental convictions" to hold onto this stock because one is confidently aware of its Fundamental Value due to the integrity of one's stock analysis. It has happened to me in the past, that no sooner had I "recommended" a stock, then coincidentally it suffered from selling pressure, probably for the above reason. I was then "confronted" by an irate buyer !! By all means buy those stocks if you wish, but bear in mind that, in my own strategy, I don't get "married" to my stocks. Whether I hold or sell them depends on an ongoing scrutiny of their latest published financial results. When they fail to meet or exceed specific criteria, obtained from within their Income Statement and Balance Sheet, I sell them.
