Investors, if you could only have 5 stocks in your portfolio, what would they be?

For me, it would probably be $AAPL, $GOOGL, $CVS, $BRK-A and $ASML.

Great, I would like to include $JNJ stock in my portfolio, however the stock is currently high.

It's hard to say five, I'm probably more likely to say it by sector, but I can't decide on just one. 😂 For me, big tech, like Apple, MSFT, Google. Next, healthcare, there e.g. JNJ, or CVS. Next, reit, there clearly O, but there would be others. I also like consumer, I mean e.g. PG,TGT,COST. Well, I only have five sectors, but I would also say that it's great to have something from mining, then lately I'm looking at agriculture, and as mentioned here WM,AWK are also interesting. So in summary, I wouldn't be able to have just 5 stocks. 😂🤦‍♂️

Great, I couldn't have just 5 stocks either, but I was wondering what stocks investors prefer the most. But other than that, my picks are a lot like yours.

WS

Actually a good choice you give :) I'd probably also go primarily for tech companies...

Great, I'm a bit more conservative so I diversify more and pick stocks from different sectors.

JB

JPM, Google, Waste Management, Tobacco must not be missing, so PM and last probably some pharmaceutical company (JNJ/PFE).

Cool, reading the comments, I guess 5 stocks was a big limitation :) since I picked and wrote 5 stocks, but some tobacco company like $MO, $BTI or $PM I would definitely pick too if I could pick more.

I probably couldn't pick just 5 stocks, it would be a bit of a risk for me. And I'm not that big on diversification 😀 I might prefer to go into a SaP or All world ETF.

BC

I understand that and it would also be a risk for me, but this was more of a game, as I was interested in what stocks investors prefer the most. Of course, I might trade a stock for the ETF.

NG

Google, Microsoft, Realty Income, Walmart, and probably some bank or insurance company, so maybe JPM.

BC

Great, I kind of limited myself with those five stocks 😅 I would definitely pick a bank too, so maybe $BAC or that $JPM.

So this is the one I like best of the answers. Nicely divided by sector and it doesn't even matter that there is no big tech.
