Forced to put all your assets in the common stock of one company...

The chart is incredible.

^ You can’t be serious. A utility selling at 22+ P/E with a 2.3% yield and constant “watering down” (haha) in share count. Not that it would fail but just buying XLU or VPU would work out even better.

HRL (no position)

People need protein, and HRL gives it to them in multiple forms (meat, peanut butter, Muscle Milk). Good ecomomies of scale in production and sales, good (maybe not great) brands, management keeps costs low, clean balance sheet, disciplined acquisitions, and no share count creep.

Currently has a high PE, though.

If AWK can buy municipal systems to grow, they’ll do fine over the long-term. The 2.5% current yield isn’t too attractive, though.

SEB

Put it in a CFD trader like IG or Plus 500. With market volatility on the rise companies like this will benefit form increased retail day-traders looking to benefit (i.e. lose money) from this :slight_smile:

WFC

IBM

AAPL is the obvious answer. The dummies keep missing this one, for a decade now, it’s still got a ways to go.

Nestle

Always increased its dividend since its first listing in 1959 along with solid capital appreciation

No hick-ups along the way for a average 10% aggregate annual return over the last decades

^interesting you mentioned that. i saw a ft/wsj? acrticle fairly recently (3 mos ago) that showed them to have the highest margins in the industry among the 10 largest players
