The prices of shares change every minute when the ASX is open. It's up to us as investors to ignore the noise and decide what businesses we want at the prices on offer.
If we can remain patient then hopefully most of the shares on our watchlist will trade at the price or dividend yield we're after at some point.
If I were to invest $4,000 today then here are the four choices I'd make:
BWX Limited (ASX: BWX)
BWX is the largest Australian natural beauty business. It is most famous for its Sukin range of products.
Consumers are looking for more natural products that are better for themselves and the environment. BWX is growing sales strongly in Australia and overseas.
National Veterinary Care Ltd (ASX: NVL)
National Vet Care is a fast-growing business that's acquiring veterinary clinics. The pet industry is a growing sector with pretty defensive earnings considering how much we care for our fluffy children.
The business plans to keep adding several vet clinics a year which could drive profit strongly over the coming years.
BETANASDAQ ETF UNITS (ASX: NDQ)
This index gives investors exposure to the biggest technology stocks in the world and is well worth a place in your portfolio. The technology giants of America have recently revealed their latest reports and it's fair to say they have grown revenue strongly yet again.
It's hard to look past the platform giants of Facebook, Amazon and others for growth over the next five years.
MFF Capital Investments Ltd (ASX: MFF)
MFF Capital has been one of the stellar listed investment companies (LICs) on the ASX over the last few years.
It focuses on overseas investments, so it's a great way to diversify your portfolio away from Australia. Some of its current biggest holdings include Visa, MasterCard and Home Depot.
Foolish takeaway
It's hard to pick a favourite because all of them offer your portfolio different positives. I think BWX is trading at the best value but every investor should increase their exposure to the NASDAQ stocks in my opinion.
