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 Volkswagen), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Volkswagen is a major part of the PINK, 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, Volkswagen's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.37 up to $14.297. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (PINK average) beta is 1, while Volkswagen's is 1.259. This would suggest that Volkswagen's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Volkswagen P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Volkswagen's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Volkswagen shares trade at around 4x recent earnings.
However, Volkswagen's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
Volkswagen's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7032. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Volkswagen's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Volkswagen's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Volkswagen's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $34.8 billion (£27.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Volkswagen's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
