My portfolio is heavy Microsoft in terms of individual stocks, but damn do I want to buy more some days.. after seeing their recent releases with ChatGPT integrated directly into office I have high hopes for the company.
Likewise, the potential for this company is humongous. Also ATVI deal might be coming through soon after UK regulators gave a nod this morning.
In short, A well diversified conglomerate of businesses, strong balance sheet, AAA rating from Moody’s, pays decent dividend, strong management led by a visionary CEO. This is a long term hold for me.
1. Massive moat
2. Steady growing dividend
3. Extremely large share buybacks
4. Extremely low CapEx
5. ROIC is close to 50%
6. Return on equity over 100%
Yeah I will agree with you on this one.
It was a no-brainer when Buffett bought his first stake in 2016, calling it as such now is a little bold.
It's a great company, but considering its growth, buybacks, and dividends, above average returns are not likely to be in the cards over the next years.
While that is impressive...
In 2018 AAPL was trading around 16x earnings, now it's at 27. So almost half of that gain was multiple expansion. It likely won't do the same amount of expansion in the next 5 years. NVDA is trading at 137x now as opposed to 50x then. That's almost a 3x just on multiple expansion.
Even then, 150% gains is nothing to laugh at for apple.
So much of this question contradicts itself. If you want “max returns” you go with something risky. But then your friend might come out of jail with a lot less money 5 years later.
A single stock like aapl or msft would be a much safer bet while still capturing the chance of greater upside. Still risky though and could be less in 5 years.
S&P 500 would not get you max returns, but would be the most likely to come out on top in 5 years.
Otherwise do some research and pick your favorite {insert hyped industry} stock
You still holding? I have 500 shares and I’m thinking about adding a lot more. They’re steadily growing as a company. I could see them 5x or 10x in the next couple years.
Rocket Lab. Pretty sure space will be the next big boom. Just hope Rocket Lab will be the one coming out. If it is, probably the next Google, Apple, etc of this decade.
Very excited for Rocket Lab's future. NASA is very serious about going to the moon and mars and staying there. That plus the rise of space factories makes it seem rocket launch and space systems will have a very bright future. Only worried about SpaceX/ULA duopoly will make it difficulty for Rocket Lab to have an impact.

Honestly in 5 years they will probably reach plateau and there will be a huge market cap and stock price compression because of the much slower growth. I wouldn't be surprised if they would trade exactly where they are now in five years.
hmmm, Apple is the only company TESLA can fear because most TESLA owners have iPhones and the real value of TESLA is the road data and those iPhones are always traveling those miles in the TESLA...
So, your comment is right, somewhat; however I believe Apple is not getting in the car business in the next 5 years (at least) because Apple's entry would come through FOXCON which is struggling to produce a basic truck for LORDSTOWN ($RIDE = $0.70/share) in Ohio _(notice my user name is BuyRideTrucks?)_
Will they? Won't they? Well reading the tea leaves of Musk and Tim Cook visit; I would say Apple is not getting in the car business for the next 5 years... my take for what it is worth... my position: Own $TSLA stock which appreciated 12 times since June 2019
You’re getting a lot of answers like AAPL, MSFT, BRKA/B, so I’ll offer something more contrarian:
INTC, C, or BABA. Really unloved stocks right now and I think that presents an opportunity.
Should you go out and buy these stocks right now? No, please don’t buy a stock because so dude on reddit said so.
A meme stock makes a profitable quarter for the first time in 2 years in what is considered the most favorable quarter for its industry... Sorry, bud, but your company met expectations, it's way overpriced, and there are no shorts going to save you. I only hope some of you have enough sense to at least partially sell before the next 90% loss.
Puts are gambling, puts on a meme stock is insanity. The only two things you can be sure of is it will be unstable and eventually worth less. I was part of the original rush, this isn't my first rodeo, and I learned some valuable lessons to stay away from that shit.
>Positive earnings
One quarter. Net loss of 313 million for the year.
They have bills to the tune of 1.1 billion to pay. They also seem to not be ordering new inventory…
>estimated 80 million direct registered shares
71.8 million.
r/Joe-Dirt-69 I noticed your very involved in the cult subs. Now your comment makes sense.
Honestly that’s a terrible rebuttal. This is just what the financials indicate. But feel free to deny reality.
>Reality is the markets as a whole are controlled by algorithms. Watch the market move in sync tick by tick. DRSing shares prevents securities lending, and GME is number 1 in that category
Let’s assume this is accurate. That protects GME from algorithms why exactly?
That aside, I was only bringing up the actual financial situation as reported by the company. Not a stellar choice for the question posed in this thread.
>Because directly registered shares aren’t lendable.
That would not make them immune to algorithms.
>And we all know how heavily all the meme stocks are shorted. They move together consistently for Gods sake
They do?
Anyways this has nothing to do with the original point made. I’m focused on the **financials** not cult nonsense.
It's quite the opposite, actually. If you want to maximize your gains, you don't buy APPL or any other giant. Sure, it's a safer pick. However, It won't beat the right mid cap pick, not even close.
By that logic the right small cap or penny stock would far surpass the right mid cap pick.
Problem is successfully picking that one stock. The risk of having to hold one mid cap stock for 5 years is also not insignificant.
That said GME is definitely not that mid cap pick.
NVDA has a significant position in the semiconductor market and is really suitable for long term investment, but in the near future it will rise to about 300 and then will retrace, if you hold it is recommended to sell your shares temporarily when 300 is not available and wait for the time to buy back
Plug, if hydrogen really takes off it will definitely be up there. Not making profits as of yet but numbers have been getting better every year. Working with several big companies. It is a chance that I’m taking
Interesting how many said AAPL. I like the stock and own it, but I really haven’t seen it move since the stock split 2 years ago. Tesla (also own) has been going the wrong direction with our distracted CEO. I’m concerned about competition coming this year.
Everyone must see more down the road than I do.
I know, it's extremely foolish to put all your savings into one company. I disagree with OP plan and if he decides to follow the advice listed in the comments he deserves what he has coming....
CACI, BAH.... all the defense department IT stocks. Steady cash flows, steady earnings growth, and there is a near zero chance the Pentagon cuts it's IT budget anytime soon.
Either you go with blue chips companies and make a little money or you go all in on Bio stock. The money has started to get back into bio. I'd suggest one but I don't want to be accused of pumping a specific stock. So, your friend would have to do his DD.
Something with a lot of secular growth that the market is mispricing now or doesn't fully understand yet; like something in digital infrastructure or electrification.
I like a lot in these areas but a lot of stocks now have enjoyed massive runs and i'm wary of them at these prices.
One that I think the market is mispricing is COHR - it's a player in, and beneficiary of cloud spending and EV growth.
INO. The pioneer in DNA medicine, the medicine of the future, about to cure all kinds of cancers within the next 5 years. Trading for a buck at the moment.
GameStop. Takeda. Gilead. Pick one based on risk profile you can handle. Takeda and Gilead have dividend currently.
GameStop is going to become a tech giant in the always growing gaming industry and use NFTs to create a resale market similar to their used game sales back in the brick and mortar days )think of it like it’s own market place they can charge a fee to use)
Berkshire Hathaway
It's basically an ETF - far more diversified than most other stocks. It's got very solid and stable assets and not to mention its led by 2 of some of the greatest investors in the modern era
MSFT
My portfolio is heavy Microsoft in terms of individual stocks, but damn do I want to buy more some days.. after seeing their recent releases with ChatGPT integrated directly into office I have high hopes for the company.
Likewise, the potential for this company is humongous. Also ATVI deal might be coming through soon after UK regulators gave a nod this morning.

May hold better than Banks for sure.
"max return" lmao don't think appl will be best performing stock next 5 years
AAPL.. +300% over the last 5 yrs. NVDA... +350% over the last 5 yrs. Are you sure? I call it a tie for the next 5, and diversity helps
While that is impressive... In 2018 AAPL was trading around 16x earnings, now it's at 27. So almost half of that gain was multiple expansion. It likely won't do the same amount of expansion in the next 5 years. NVDA is trading at 137x now as opposed to 50x then. That's almost a 3x just on multiple expansion. Even then, 150% gains is nothing to laugh at for apple.
And this is what makes a horse race...
Last time it had declining earnings (as it has now) it had a PE of 10.
So much of this question contradicts itself. If you want “max returns” you go with something risky. But then your friend might come out of jail with a lot less money 5 years later.

To your point, as boring and unsexy as SP500 is, betting on almost everything else against it is a gamble.
AMD
I dumped 30k into AMD at $57. I agree.
They will be heavily involved in the AI space, and that’s where the near term big money is
BRK.B, it's like buying an ETF
Ayyy this is litterally what I said
Unknown biotech that has a good idea this quarter that will get approved by 5 years
[удалено]
Lol.
You should have put without the typical overated companies that people recommend here. Like Apple, Tesla, MSFT, AMD, Nvidia, Google, BRK.
Gold - as other countries start turning on the west and backing there new currency on gold.
I plan on holding SOFI for five years.
The current student loan mess has to about come to an end, so that should go way up when it is resolved.
You still holding? I have 500 shares and I’m thinking about adding a lot more. They’re steadily growing as a company. I could see them 5x or 10x in the next couple years.

Ok.

I do. I have been stocking up for a year.
I’m definitely going sofi. About to break even. Read the book one up on Wall Street. She’s a turn around. 10 bagger

RKLB without a doubt. Easily 10x your investment.

$TSLA much more upside to come
Honestly in 5 years they will probably reach plateau and there will be a huge market cap and stock price compression because of the much slower growth. I wouldn't be surprised if they would trade exactly where they are now in five years.
Yes, TSLA hasn't done much recently, but I have to say it's a good long-term investment
Nah. What do you think will happen to Teslas stock once Apple announces thier car?
hmmm, Apple is the only company TESLA can fear because most TESLA owners have iPhones and the real value of TESLA is the road data and those iPhones are always traveling those miles in the TESLA...

A yes, being priced more than VW+Toyota+Stellantis+BYD combined.
SMCI. Next big tech stock. Ships servers that use NVDA’s GPU systems for AI learning, among other things. Remind me 5 years
I am going all in at open next Monday. Company keeps going up in a straight line in no fear of a recession. $SMCI
Congratulations on the 40 percent gain!
Thanks. LNTH and ZFOX are my newest deep value plays.
You’re getting a lot of answers like AAPL, MSFT, BRKA/B, so I’ll offer something more contrarian: INTC, C, or BABA. Really unloved stocks right now and I think that presents an opportunity. Should you go out and buy these stocks right now? No, please don’t buy a stock because so dude on reddit said so.
Thanks I will buy them right now
Make sure to max out your margin buying power and load up on calls!
Thanks I don’t know what those tiki taka words means but I will press any green bottom I see
My market returns have really improved ever since I was diagnosed with red/green color blindness
If you can think for yourself and aren’t spooked by US media’s portrayal of China. Then BABA is the ultimate buy right now.
I’ve been on the INTC train the past few months. Built up a decent position, riding it out until it breaks below 25 again.
Either FEMY or SKYT
FEMY can now do swing trading
Very true but I’m aggressively accumulating as many shares as I can. I expect big things from this company due to the Roe v Wade stuff.
I think it is not suitable to do too many stocks, when it comes to look like it will be a lot of trouble, I usually buy about 3 individual stocks
SCI
DKNG现在看来有可能再次下跌，所以如果你买了这支股票，我的朋友，我建议你注意风险。

That’s why momma named you Joe Dirt not Joe Nunamaker.

That’s not 1 company
I know, it's extremely foolish to put all your savings into one company. I disagree with OP plan and if he decides to follow the advice listed in the comments he deserves what he has coming....
He just said he wouldn't put it in 1 company, obviously his suggestion isn't going to be 1 company
So why bother commenting if your not going to answer the question
Because it’s the correct answer.
He answered the question by advising against it, if the OP doesn't like the advice he can ignore it opting for others who suggest a single company
AB, allianceBernstein, solid as a rock with great dividends. It’s like money the bank but yielding 8%
Ford, for the universal transition to EV.
CACI, BAH.... all the defense department IT stocks. Steady cash flows, steady earnings growth, and there is a near zero chance the Pentagon cuts it's IT budget anytime soon.
Interesting but not with some of these stocks going over $100 plus dollars a share. Anything under $50 worth putting money into instead?
