My share portfolio...Complete!

I am sure you have been waiting with baited breath to see the chronically inept company share purchases I have made! My 8 shares are listed below, including the rounded-up purchase price in pence. I have purposely plumped for 8 different sectors, trying to build in at least 4 or 5 stocks that I believe to be strong and potentially recession-proof (Don’t you just love that phrase!) sectors. I wanted to avoid the ‘Retail’ sector, but wanted a household name, thus finding myself in a Catch-22 situation with Tesco. The strength of this share won out, however. I will review these in a month’s time, but have a floating 3 to 6-month holding period, trying to achieve a 30% profit on each share, net of dealing and stamp duty costs. I firmly believe it should be relatively easy to make a profit in current market conditions, but am more interested to see if I can make profit when we get back to a stable and more realistically-valued market. Until next time... - Care UK (CUK) 244 - Cobham (COB) 182 - EAGA (EAGA) 103 - Hargreaves Lansdown (HL.) 160 - Micro Focus (MCRO) 203 - Petrofac (PFC) 375 - PV Crystalox (PVCS) 117 - Tesco (TSCO) 320 * THE ABOVE IS JUST FOR MY OWN ENTERTAINMENT AND IN NO WAY REPRESENTS, SUGGESTS, CONSTITUTES, OR CONNOTATES PROVIDING ADVICE! *
