I see that the askaboutmoney.com guide to savings and investments still says (in the top 10 tips) that an investor should buy and hold shares the largest 10 Irish companies.
Does the collapse of the Irish stockmarket index in the last 12 months (it has lost more than half of its value) not suggest a re-think?
I recall the original proposition was that these companies operate across the globe - thereby providing geographical diversification.
Surely this has proved to be a fallacy and the guide should now be amended?
I have always considered this a flawed investment proposition and feel that the askaboutmoney.com community should debate this openly.
Any takers?
Regards,
Roxy
