3 Stocks Anyone Can Understand
"Buy what you know."
If there's any advice more familiar to investors than the wit and wisdom of Warren Buffett, it's got to be this single gem from the silver-haired patron saint of individual investors, Peter Lynch.
Investors have enough odds stacked against them, competing with high frequency trading machines and professional analysts working 24/7 to understand the intricacies of things like biotech stocks and 5G internet. If there's one advantage we have, though, it's the fact that certain companies making certain products are so familiar to us that we don't necessarily have to be stock experts to know whether these companies are doing well or poorly. Using our inborn common sense -- and a little basic math -- we should do just fine investing in companies like Citigroup (NYSE: C), General Motors (NYSE: GM), and Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL).
