Hi im 22 from the UK and have been investing £200 monthly into VUSA for 3 years now and have built it up to £9.5k and im very happy with my progress but recently ive been feeling like due to my young age it would be a good idea to start investing into some individual stocks to have a potential of higher earnings in the future. Like the title suggests im in this for the long run 25-30 years and ive been doing some light research for the past couple days when i have time and have come to a conclusion that i want to start investing in the future of AI and robotics as they both obviously have huge potential that we are even starting to see today.
I have chosen some stocks, i wont give my reasoning here yet as i still havent decided to pull the trigger on if i will start investing in them as i have deeper research into each company to do but i wanted to see what more experienced investors might think about the portfolio and what advice could be given in which to potentially not take and why or even why i should pick alternative stocks.
The stocks im thinking of investing in and in what percentages are:
VUSA 60%
Tesla 9%
Nvidia 8%
Palantir 6%
Richtech robotics 5% (really on the fence)
AMD 4%
ASML 4%
Broadcom 4%
Id like to add that from this month onwards i will be investing £500 - £600 monthly rather than £200.
Any advice is welcome
