1. Method of picking stocks

When we have decision to purchasing stocks, we need to control risk from holding shares. The stocks held by investors are divided into two parts: one is a radical investment for short-term operations; the other is a robust investment for medium and long-term investment. In terms of the types of shares held, investors should reduce the number of types of shares held. If there are a large number of stocks, they will often lose sight of them in actual operations, especially when the stock market changes suddenly. Reducing the number of types of shares can improve the ability to respond quickly and thus resist risks. I am interested in technology products, electronic, entertainment, drinks and daily commodities. Thus, based on the method, I choose these five parent companies to buy stocks which are Alibaba, Apple, Disney, PepsiCo and P&G.
