Ask the Experts

In today’s challenging and unpredictable investing environment, we feel that it’s important to consult a variety of experts about potential investment strategies. We know that you’re busy and can’t possibly seek out these experts for yourself, so we’ve done the hard work for you.

We asked each of these people the same question:

If you could invest in just one stock right now, what would it be?

Here’s what they had to say…

Donald Trump: “We have many tremendous stocks right now. Very beautiful stocks. It really is a great thing. You can invest in a very tremendous number of beautiful stocks right now in the stock market. And the stock market…a lot of people don’t know that, it’s called the stock market…but the king of the stock market called me the other day and told me he can’t believe what a great job I’m doing. Best they’ve ever seen. Many, many people are saying it’s the best they’ve ever seen. So I think buying some great stocks is a really beautiful thing to do.”

Joe Biden: “Listen Jack, when I was growing up on the hardscrabble roads of Scranton, Pennsylvania, we didn’t have stocks. We ate baloney and mustard sandwiches for lunch and that was our only meal of the day. But when Barack and I were president, we wanted to make sure that all the kids had plenty to eat. Not just stocks, er, baloney…but entire meals of food. Great big meals of food…and my friend John McCain and my old pal Sojourner Truth would come by and we’d meet up with my buddy Huck Finn and we’d take the stocks to the kids. And they were so happy. And that, my friend, is the America that I want to live in.”

Oprah Winfrey: “Everybody in this room now has a Roth IRA. We’re giving you the username and the password to your Roth IRA. DON’T LOG IN YET. Ok…now…I want everybody to log in and see if you have any stock in your Roth IRA. You get some stock! You get some stock! You get some stock! EVERYBODY GETS SOME STOCK!!”

Taylor Swift:
“I was sixteen and we had our investment club,
I thought about you every night layin’ in the tub.
But I wanted dividends, steady and slow.
You wanted rapid growth to bring in the dough.
So it never worked out and my friends said that you had to go.”

Tony Robbins: “The best stock you can buy is yourself. Who can change your life more than you? Who can be more influential at turning you into the person you want to be? Who’s more responsible for your success than you? But until you buy stock, you’ll never own stock. So go out TODAY and buy stock in the you that you want yourself to be.”

Forrest Gump: “My momma always said that stocks was for rich people and we wasn’t rich people. But Lieutenant Dan did buy stock in some fruit company and said we didn’t have to worry about money no more…”

Hope that helps. Happy investing!
