investing to build a sustainable portfolio, page-3

thank you. I already have a position in BHP which has served me well. I am currently looking at Metcash as it has been sold down after annual results announcements. I realise it won't be a high flyer, but I am happy with slow and steady and as my portfolio increases, it enables me to buy more shares and margin lend upto 50%, This way I don't need to worry about getting a margin call if the market turns. And if it does, I have the margin value to buy more shares and accumulate. I have heard and know people with "big pockets" so to speak only invest in the big caps and have built a large portfolio over time.
