I follow the golden rule of Warren Buffet that "Never put all eggs in one basket". That's why I would love to suggest you to put 5k in capital gains and 5k in dividend paying investment.

Moreover you can also try for REIT's, a good REIT provides you more than 50% return of investment. chech out my post https://seedly.sg/questions/what-are-the-key-cr...

I think it is better to buy a stable blue chip stock that pays out constant dividen. If the company’s business is sound the stock will also appreciate over time.

smaller companies might have bigger chance of higher growth with capital appreciation however You Have to do quite a bit of research.
