Stock market -> My suggestions for long term stable investments

[JambaKrantu]

If you have the savings, put 5k in each of these stocks and forget about it for 2 to 3 years and check again. 

These are stocks that you can still hold after 10-20 years and pass on to your kids honestly.. 10,000 dollars worth of Microsoft stock in 1980 s would translate to 2.2 Million dollars today.. These companies have the best and brightest minds and they will keep on innovating and they will keep coming up with upgrades/new products to stay relevant for the foreseeable future. 

Google - Undisputed king of search engines, also owns gmail, you tube, google docs. 

Apple - Superior quality phones, tablets and Macs with Cult following that is not going to go away anytime soon. Very strong balance sheet. 

Facebook - King of Social media - owns Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp

Microsoft - King of PC operating systems and Office suite. Owns Windows operating system and MS Office and Microsoft Azure

Amazon - King of eCommerce, Owns AWS and Amazon Prime

Stocks that I like but are not in the same league as the above 5:

1. Tesla - Huge head start in electric cars, very innovative but has to withstand competition from electric vehicles from other car makers. Still with it's cult following, I will expect it to stay ahead of game. 

2. Disney - They own a lot of popular programming and Disney+ is slowly taking off. Theme parks might be closed now but they will reopen as soon as a vaccine is out. 

I don't trust Netflix. There are too many streaming platforms now a days and Netflix has to burn a lot of cash to stay relevant and they don't have any other lines of business like Amazon has AWS and ecommerce, Apple has phones, pcs, tablets and AppleTV..

very good post..Yes I like the Big 5...

but the prob is not many here want long term gains...everybody is shooting for short term gains....make a quick buck which is very dangerous....

so also suggest some short term gain stocks for short term people...

FANG stocks did not go down at all or not by much even in this downturn.. they are not cheap to buy now.. they are already valued at close or over a trillion dollars.. how high will they go?

index is almost doing the same...why should someone need to invest in these and risk his capital?

8 to 10% in a regular year but when these companies come up with new products and show good results you will see 20 to 25% returns in that year. On a cumulative compound interest basis, these stocks will double very 5 to 7 years..

Everyone is waiting for crash but these big 5 are going up and beyond....ZERO impact on Korona....

if its doubling 5-7 years you are aiming for something between 10-14% compounded return...looking at stats from history..only 10% companies survived more than 30 yrs after their. prime time..in this fast paced tech world no one knows if there will be a facebook after 30yrs....blackberry is one prime example...its lot safer to invest in index even if you are getting 2-4% lesser yield

You can do what ever you want with your risk appetite....all i am saying is...your returns will not just depend on the best stock you pick...it depends on the price you pay for it...best stocks can only guarantee that your capital is protected to some extent
