So are you feeling lucky?
Article Abstract:
Many people in the UK are taking risks with their investments without really realizing that they are doing so. Almost half of the around 12 million people who own shares only hold the shares of one company, while 74% are only slightly more diversified, holding shares in up to three companies. It is possible to deliberately select more risky investments, even if you only have a relatively small amount to invest. Such investments can include technology stocks, which many observers believe will see strong growth in the near future.

Net prophets
Article Abstract:
Investing in the technology sector can bring extremely impressive returns. However, it is important to remember that technology is one of the highest risk equity sectors. The value of shares could slump dramatically if business growth does not meet market expectations, and there will inevitably be some corporate failures. Potential investors should take the time to carry out research into specific companies and should seek the advice of a broker.
