should I just invest in one stock?
I want to start investing in stock, but I don’t know much about it. I bought a book. I’m trying to study it right now. Most of the information seem vague. It can’t give me a definitive answer of what is good or bad.

What if I did this. I got $5,000 to invest. I got more money saved up of course.

I pick one iof the highly rated stock like this one http://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/stock…

or another find another stock where the price is stable and generates a dividend.

And I put all $5,000 in that one stock and keep it simple. Is that a good ideal?

I keep hearing that I should diversify.

And mutual funds seem more complicated and they charge various fees.

So is it a good ideal to just invest in one stock in which I may have researched and found dependable?

    An sp 500 etc so you really need to diversify and not put all your money in the kind that company crashed and many people who owned just it and by having more than one stock maybe youre old enough to do but even there you need.
