An intriguing question !!!
Probably you may not expect any response now, but since this was in my mind for last couple of days, I thought to give an opinion.
My suggestion -
Do not invest in any company shares Why ?You may have probably heard that...."share markets are driven by FEAR and GREED. " If you invest in a company share and wait for 365 days, you may get caught to either of the above mental status .
How ? After investing , you can't avoid looking at the price (daily ?). If you see the price is falling , than the purchase price, you are gripped with fear psychosis.
Will I loss my capital ?
Suppose the price of the share is improving compared to the purchase price. However you will notice, there are some other share prices are improving at a rate much higher than your one. What,s the feeling you are getting ? A worry, because one can't avoid the feeling , I should have invested in that share . Greediness...what else!.
There can be a remote possibility that your share becoming the highest appreciated share at the end of 365 days. Even that happens at the end of the period,
during the period , you are subjected to either fear or greed, depending on the price fluctuation.
Investment in a set of shares , instead of one , will not result in overcoming above.
So... is it worth spending 500,000/- and subject to fear and greed psychosis for 365 days ?
P/S
Probably , you can observe the functioning of above psychosis , just reading through some posts in this Forum.
