Many academic studies have shown that holding individual stock has uncompensated risk which can be easily diversified away by holding diversified mutual funds or ETFs. For your investments, you do need to make an investment plan and follow through with it. I encourage you to visit Diehards.org, read through some of the posts and recommended books, and ask any investing questions you have there. Several very good investment book authors and knowledgeable investors make frequent postings there and are usually very helpful in answering any investing questions you might have.
