On the edge of earnings season, Paul, Steve, and Steve have been thinking about what stocks they’d put into a beginner portfolio. And the Steves have been thinking about stocks for Paul. They aren’t the same, promise!  

Steve and Steve have put together their 7 stock portfolios. Some names that you might expect and some that you probably wouldn’t. Also some names missing that you might be expecting.   

Steve D has a bunch of companies that you’ve never heard of. But you’ve probably heard of the products they make. Paul wonders whether that’s where a beginner investor should be pitching up.  

Steve W has a bunch of things you have heard of and one you probably haven’t. Unless you do your banking in Hull or Sweden.  

Speaking of banking, Steve W’s stock for Paul is Bank of America. As a dividend investor, the burgundy one likes companies that pay out cash. And Steve thinks there’s more going on than meets the eye at first.  

Steve D is looking at something more exciting. An established, profitable, reputable healthcare stock with an obesity drug and a potential cure for Alzheimers. A big price tag, but if it comes off, this won’t even touch the sides.
