Is it a good idea to put all your eggs on one Basket? Put all your money on one stock or rather split and put it on different baskets so that if I falls then another will keep you on balance? Have been looking at few options and was suggested to go for Mutal Funds rather than Stocks since I'm a beginner. But do u say dude? I'm not looking for long term investments, I would rather like to go for daytrading or swing trading. I don't mind taking risk at some extend.
