If you could only choose 3 stocks to hold in your portfolio, which ones would they be and why?

    Background: 32 years old. Firefighter with a pension and 150k in my 457b. Looking to invest 10% of my extra money investments into 3 stocks.

    Thanks for the considerations guys!

    Which 3 stocks would you choose to hold for 15 plus years?

    1. Don’t hold individual stocks, too risky – better with a broad market ETF like VOO or QQQ if you want top stocks focus.

    2. ABT , Google and Microsoft
      Abt is really not something anyone would think twice about on Reddit, but in any 5 year period, it has consistently outperformed sp500 for decades.
      It has been on my watch list since I learned how to invest from day 1.
      Fortunate for me (and unfortunately for the stock ), I always have better targets than it and most of them did give me better returns.

    3. The 3 I have literally held for 15-25 years. MSFT, AMEX, AAPL

      The 3 that got dumped, through no fault of my own. DISC, SIVB, LCC
