"The Stock Market Adventure Begins!"
"Now, I know investing can sometimes feel like a wild rollercoaster ride, and honestly, it often is! But that's what makes it thrilling. Today, we're going to explore the ten best global stock leaders that have been rocking the financial world."
1) "Apple Inc. (AAPL)"
Speaker: "First stop on our financial tour is the company that put an 'i' in innovation – Apple Inc. Not only did they revolutionize smartphones with the iPhone, but they've also become a tech giant with a knack for turning out hit products. If you've ever owned an iPhone, MacBook, or Apple Watch, you're part of their global cult of coolness!"
Do you remember watching Forest Gump? Run Forest Run?
If you invested in Apple when the movie was popular, you
Also could worry about “one less thing” haha ; )
2) "Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)"
"Next up, we've got the e-commerce giant, Amazon.com Inc. Jeff Bezos started this as an online bookstore, but now, it's the 'everything store.' You can buy a lawnmower, a book about mowing lawns, and even lawn gnomes – all in one place. Amazon delivers everything, including smiles, with its Prime service."
3) "Microsoft Corporation (MSFT)"
"Now, let's talk about Microsoft. Bill Gates and his team at Microsoft have been powering computers and businesses around the world for decades. From Windows to the cloud with Azure, they're like the wise old wizards of the tech world – always there when you need them."
4) "Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL)"
"We can't forget Google, or should I say, Alphabet Inc. Google is the Jedi Master of the search galaxy. You need answers? Google's got you covered. Plus, they're into self-driving cars and moonshots! Google's like that friend who's good at everything – a true Renaissance company."
5) "Meta Platforms, Inc. (FB)"
"And speaking of friends, here's the social media giant – Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly known as Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg's creation changed the way we connect and share cat videos. It's like a never-ending high school reunion online, minus the awkward slow dances."
6) "Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)"
"Now, let's shift gears to something electrifying – Tesla, Inc. Elon Musk's brainchild has taken the world by storm with electric cars and renewable energy. Musk is like a modern-day Iron Man, but instead of a suit of armor, he's got electric cars and dreams of colonizing Mars!"
7) "Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A, BRK.B)"
"Time to talk about the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, and his empire at Berkshire Hathaway. If you want to learn the art of value investing, Buffett's your guru. He's like the wise grandpa of investing, and his annual shareholder meetings are legendary – dubbed the 'Woodstock of Capitalism'!"
Buffett and Lynch are my stock gurus.
We discussed Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway stock.
What is the share of one stock? $577,000
I recommend these books:
Buffett book- Interpretation of Financial Statements
Peter Lynch- One Up on Wall Street
8) "Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)"
"Now, let's get back to health with Johnson & Johnson. These folks are the champions of baby shampoo, Band-Aids, and vaccines. They're like the healthcare superheroes, saving lives one Band-Aid at a time. And hey, they even had a baby powder empire!"
9) "Procter & Gamble Co. (PG)"
"From healthcare to consumer goods, we've got Procter & Gamble. You might not know them, but you definitely know their products – from Tide to Pampers, they've got your daily life covered. They're like the unsung heroes of your household."
10) "Visa Inc. (V)"
"Last but not least, we have Visa Inc. These guys are the gatekeepers of digital payments. If you've ever bought anything online or used a credit card, you've probably danced with Visa. They make money move like a smooth tango!"
"So, what makes these companies the best? Well, it's a mix of innovation, leadership, adaptability, and a pinch of luck. They've weathered storms, adapted to change, and consistently delivered value to their shareholders."
Do you agree with this list?
What companies would you sub out?
"Now, before we wrap up, let's remember that humor is an essential ingredient in the world of finance. Whether it's the stock market's unpredictable twists or CEOs with Twitter fingers, humor helps us stay sane on this financial rollercoaster."
Closing Thoughts
