New Investors: 3 Rock-Solid Stocks to Build Your Portfolio Around
Overview
If you're a new investor who's just getting started with investing, it can seem overwhelming trying to determine which stocks to buy. You may be tempted to go with what's hot right now and focus on the latest trends, but that can be risky. Meanwhile, being too conservative and avoiding risk entirely could result in limited returns and may not seem all that worthwhile.
Three stocks that I think can be ideal ones to build up a portfolio around are Visa (NYSE: V), Home Depot (NYSE: HD), and Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT). With this mix of stocks, you'll get three reasonably valued investments that have strong fundamentals and that also pay dividends. Here's a closer look at each one of them.
