A bedrock backed by big-caps
If £2,000 was my first investment, I’d likely split it down the middle and diversify between two different stocks. For example, I could choose companies from the
FTSE 100 index such as
Barclays,
Rio Tinto or
Tesco. But mature businesses will be unlikely to deliver the growth I’m looking for in my portfolio.
There’s nothing wrong with establishing a bedrock of big-cap investments as part of a wider strategy. However, I’d prefer to sort out that part of my portfolio by investing in tracker funds, managed funds and investment trusts. Such vehicles will give me wide diversification across many underlying businesses at a low cost.
Can the Glencore share price keep climbing?
More on:
The
Glencore(LSE:GLEN) share price has been on fire lately. After taking a massive hit in early 2020, the business has since been recovering. And over the last 12 months, the stock price is up more than 115%. In fact, it has risen so much that it is now trading firmly above its pre-pandemic levels.
But can it climb higher? And should I be adding this business to my portfolio?

UK shares to buy today
I’d buy
Frankie & Benny’s, but
Wagamama replaced this when the group acquired the latter in 2018.
With many of its restaurants closed over the past 12 months, its sales have been decimated. They slumped around 60% in 2020. However, as the UK economy reopens, I think this stock could be a great recovery play. Analysts expect the group to return to profit in 2022. However, these are just projections at this stage, and the firm isn’t guaranteed to match the forecasts.
These UK shares still look like great buys to me

Among the UK shares I began building a position in following the pandemic-related sell-off last year were battered ceramic tableware manufacturer
Churchill China(LSE: CHH) and laser-guided equipment specialist
Somero Enterprises(LSE: SOM). Today, I’m taking a look at how they’ve performed since.
Contrarian pick
As might be expected, Churchill’s share price tumbled last year as the hospitality sector closed its doors. As setbacks go, it’s hard to imagine anything worse for this ‘picks and shovels’ business than a raging pandemic. Today’s full-year numbers for 2020 show just how bad things were for the company.
