Harshu Vyas. An option that's good imo, is to buy those one or two stocks, sit on them to see if they deliver what they seem to be promising you, but keep researching elsewhere and buy if and as more investable money becomes available to your. I look at Honda. Ok, so maybe it's cheap. Again I ask myself, a priori, how long would I expect to be in for? At about $32 its about $4 away from about $36 last reached in 2017 and a few months ago. What does Honda have that other auto mfgers don't have? What advantage? Would Honda get up to $40, and other mfgers not also rise? Why would that happen? More importantly by when would HMC rise? Do you expect HMC to reach $36 again for a short-term gain? This year? By early next year? For you, who seems to flit from one stock to another, prattling on about stocks, yeah I can see HMC is attractive today. By next month, next year though, you'll be elsewhere. There's no stopping you apparently -g-. Imo, HMC is a ridiculous stock to look at more than 20 secs to see that it's not a stock that's appropriate for a person who's serious about buying and holding for big gains that a short-pocket investor has an advantage at.

I think you have to constantly look and "tinker" with new ideas. I think this is absolutely wrong in investing. In life, when you do something for the first time you usually do it wrong. As you do it (the same thing) over and over, you get better and better at it. Tinkering with new ideas in investing means with your funds you are constantly doing new things, and probably doing them wrong. You gonna lose money. This is why I say learn about individual stocks for a few years, and then when you are what you'd consider an expert in them, if the opportunity presents itself, invest then. My two cents. I think doing new things with your investment capital is a recipe for losing money. I know nothing about investing in commercial property. If I had loads of $$$$ the last way I would try to make more money is by "tinkering" in commercial property. I would instead buy ADI and MCHP.
