As you can see, the composition of our doitinvest stocks portfolio consists of only blue chip shares – shares traded especially on the NYSE, with large volumes and therefore a relatively large liquidity. This means that holding such stocks will not create selling or buying difficulties, since the corporations behind are traded continuously.

We have also chosen quite a diversified portfolio, which includes most of the important industrial and service sectors traded on NYSE:

In other words, we have created a “classical” U.S. stocks portfolio, suited for any beginner or normal investor, looking for liquidity and a moderate risk exposure.

Interestingly enough, in this first day our portfolio would have brought us already a +1,97% gain, due to the overall shares increases the U.S. market had today.

But this is just the beginning. Watch our portfolio grow and watch us trading it in the forthcoming days.
