Beginners in the stock market typically begin their journey with many questions including how many shares do I buy and what stocks should I own in my portfolio. With so many stocks to choose from many investors pick the wrong stocks while others buy too many stocks. The downside with this approach is that they don’t realise the impact this has on their portfolio returns until it is too late.

The challenge for every beginner in the stock market is knowing how to build a portfolio with the right stocks that suits their level of knowledge, experience and the risk they are willing to take.

So, in tonight’s Australian Stock Market Show, Dale and Janine will guide you through how to pick the best stocks including whether the big Aussie miner Fortescue Metals Group is a suitable stock to buy for beginners.
