I don't know whether you are familiar with stock market or not first. But it is important to know all of them and full aware the risj first before start investing.

On currently market condition, don't need to rush to buy, market won't shoot up far overnight as current market is on the way down, not in bull run stage.

Different individual has different risk appetide, so can't say which one is good choice or bad. It depends on individual liking as well as willing to take those risk. It is better you start up your initial targetted stocks then other can comment on it and discussion grows from there.

Cheers.

Should at least knowing with facts and news of it.

Sell assets doesn't always mean good for the company one. It depends.

In investment world there is no new fashion or old one, as long as one can gain in the targetted investment product, it is deem a good fashion.

Options, warrants and those derivatives are best in the eye of issuers most of the time. They are the ultimate winner in those derivatives products while you all fight between yourself, because it is a zero sum game sometimes. One winner money come from one loser money, while issuers enjoy the commission, no matter who win and loss, typically eg would be futures market. <-- a zero sum game.

Don't get me wrong. Those derivatives product can be a good tool for hedging purposes. But only play with/invest into them if one knew what he/she is doing.
