I sold E.ON and Randstad , with the revenues I bought Gaz de France-Suez and Schneider electric , and slightly increased my position in ETF : Emerging Markets and Commodities .
It was born to give answers to some friends asking sometimes to suggest stocks to buy .
I realised that - even if explaining that each of them should have a strategy and was very risky to get some names from somebody and buy them - some of my friends didn't have it , and this was "stressing" me because they were taking too many risks .
Here you can find a long foreword , that will end by beginning July '08 , where are explained reasons and steps for my investments ; then you'll find updates regarding my choices and alternatives to them (keeping in mind that I'm not able to foresee the future , the data sources sometimes contain mistakes and the stocks are very volatile , and therefore you ' d be ready to face the risks of wrong choices) : in this way should be room for everybody to find another way to select the stocks in line with his own attitudes .
Then I added the opportunity - without committing to do it periodically - to share the reading and commenting of news . In this way - if someone is interested - we can create a "virtual room" .
