Sample Stock Portfolios - Dozens of Investing Ideas

Looking for investing ideas? Examine the following sample portfolios for groups of stocks that may match your investing style and objectives.

The sample portfolios are alternatives to managed mutual funds that charge annual fees, which can significantly reduce your total return in the long run. When you construct your own portfolio, you only incur costs when you buy and sell stocks. Also, you control the stocks you own and the timing when you buy and sell. Thus, you control your tax liabilities.

Many of the stocks included in the sample portfolios are appropriate choices for dividend reinvestment for the buy-and-hold investor.

We list stocks in each portfolio but do not specifically recommend you buy them now nor do we recommend how many shares that you buy. Before you buy a stock, check its price pattern and valuation. Be sure not to buy on the downside or pay too much for the stock.
