Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Severfield), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Severfield is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Over the last 12 months, Severfield's shares have ranged in value from as little as 48.1 up to 71.9968. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
