Ep 23: Stock Picking

Honest investors can attest that stock picking is hard. A strong conviction pick can lead to out-performance one year and under-performance the next. Or, vice-versa.I recently saw a discussion on Twitter among financial professionals based on the following question:Without Googling the answer, what is the best performing US stock over the last 20 years?Some of the responses included companies like:* Microsoft (MSFT)* UnitedHealth Group (UNH)* Apple (AAPL)* Amazon (AMZN)* Nvidia (NVDA)* Berkshire Hathaway (BRK'A / BRK'B)* Walmart (WMT)* Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and* Netflix (NFLX)I responded with Phillip Morris (PM).The correct answer: Monster Beverage (MNST). By a lot!Would you have guessed that one correctly?Resources referenced in this episode: https//:app.koyfin.comhttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/technicalanalysis.asphttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fundamentalanalysis.asp https://pro.riskalyze.com/embed/85887b63ed1059a0b37ehttps://lifemoveswealth.com/what-to-expect/ This is a public episode.
