Ask HN: If you could only invest in 5 individual stocks, what would you pick?
- pwg 6y agoFive index funds.
- acqbu 6y agoAny specific ones?
- cercatrova 6y agoThey said individual stocks do while I like your answer it might go against what they wanted. I think non funds would be a more interesting answer.
- giantg2 6y agoWell then just go with stocks that own a variety of investments, like BAM.
- tudelo 6y agoAlternative: Does anyone here actually invest like this currently? As in, a small number of different stocks as the main holding
- giantg2 6y agoProbably best to take this to an appropriate forum, like /r/investing or /r/stocks.
- diehunde 6y agoENPH, LYFT, OKTA, DOCU, ESTC
- aynyc 6y agoAs a pure exercise and assume 5-10 year investment horizon. I would pick: MSFT, TSLA, AMD/NVDA (any semi-conductor/chip makers), DIS, JNJ Reason: * MSFT will win the cloud war. * TSLA doesn't even have real competitors. If Elon somehow merge TSLA and SpaceX, then it'll be the next multi-trillion dollar company * DIS, its content vault will be a force in streaming. I don't see how netflix can beat them. * JNJ, it's Johnson & Johnson. * AMD is the only one I have doubts. I think semiconductor/chips business will see a whole new demand in different industries. Whether AMD is capable of capturing that market is up in the air, but INTL definitely showed it lost its ways.
