long-term share

[#1]

hello, can anyone recommend a share to invest in for long-term. i am new into share trading online.

[#2]

I recommend you invest in your education

Some reccomend that one buy the worst performing share after a downturn, because it has fallen the most and therefore should rise a lot and others say buy the best performing share as it is a good share. Think look for a good company that has hallen because it was overbought. Shoprite may fall, then if all is OK with management could be good after a fall that is

that is not a long term strategy, but a short term trading one. Right now, if i was looking for long term, I would focus on high div yield stocks - since there is a lot of uncertainty in the market right now. Metropolitan, Abil, BATs, all looking quite attractive - with div yields in excess of 5%

Think metropolitan does a lot of funeral policy business so probably business is good. I personally would wait for a fall in its price, but business should be good for them

Thank you all. I would take some time to monitor the market before making any decision.

satrix40 or some etf ?? best for beginner ??

Satrix is good for beginner. Can just thing what happened as Billiton overtook Anlo a while ago, then the sudden fall in Billiton lately. Individual shares are risky

Go for SACOIL...It flucutuates a lot and you have to know when to buy and sell...IMUNITI is at 1 and if price rises to 3 you triple your money....
