  • What's been your best long term stock pick?

    Mine is Caterpillar.
    I bought in in early 2009 at $34 per share.
    It's trading at just over $200 today, and I've been collecting and reinvesting the dividend since I purchased it.

    Just comparing my lowest cost basis buys to current stock price

    1st. Tsla: bought at 37, now it's 1150
    2nd. SHOP: bought at 60 and now it's 1500
    3rd. AMD: 9.70->125
    ​​​​4th. Fvrr : 29->175

      I'm not big into single stocks... The few that I have bought, however, have done well for me -- most have at least doubled

      BRK.B: Initially bought around $136 in 2015, #sh has gone up & down over time, but current price: ~$286/sh.
      FVRR: Initially bought ~$60 in Jun'20, slowly picked up more shares at higher prices since then. Current price: ~$166/sh.
      AMD: I'm one of the laggards jumping into this around here. But I finally dipped my toes in at ~$74 between Mar-May'21, current price: ~$126/sh.
      DIS: Only have this in my boys' UTMAs, but I bought them each a bit at $88 in Mar'20, current price: ~$170/sh

      In all, my individual stocks account for less than $10k. Otherwise, my portfolio is dominated by broad-market MFs... which have also done extremely well for me over time.

        Bought Visa (V) at IPO, and it has done very well for me over the years.
