What stocks do you hold and why?

None. Ethical choice. Stock market is little more than gambling these days. Does very little to accurately represent companies, is mostly just a bunch of entities bigger than me manipulating it to bleed money out of retail like myself.

Pretty much is just a vessel for folks to try grow wealth, which is a race to the bottom (growth for growths sake). Basically does little more than promote the divide between rich and poor for society these days. Not something I need to participate in.

Apple

-has a customer base that can't get enough of the product

-Tim Cook, an extraordinary leader that has grown the company and managed the company through crisis after crisis. It's mind blowing how well he's succeeded during his tenure at Apple.

Mutual funds.

It spreads risk across a big basket of stocks, averaging out lows (and highs) for a steadier and more consistent gain.
