Tesla
Are you a big fan of Elon Musk? Do you love everything Tesla and Elon are doing, from advancements in batteries to Elon’s personal passion for exploring space? So many have become encapsulated by Tesla’s car’s and their ability to be both exhilarating to drive and environmentally friendly. If this narrative is your narrative, then perhaps you should own the stock and make your passion a small part of your financial future.
Apple
Is the iPhone your favorite smartphone? Does your everyday life center around your phone, whether you’re setting yourself a reminder, or reading social media. Many Apple customers experienced deep admiration for the vision and creative genius of Steve Jobs, and feel passionate about the company he left as his legacy. Complete that passion through owning Apple stock and following the companies story with a new financial meaning, and a non-financial product focused narrative that encapsulates your own unique experience.
Do Facebook and Instagram form the backbone of your social networking? Are you posting comments, sharing photographs and posting links to news or other interesting content. How many hours a week do you think you spend on social media, whether it be Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat. If this is a substantial amount for you, then why not invest in Facebook. You follow your friends, you follow celebrities, you follow your political heroes, so how about following the stock that allows you to follow the things you love.
onestoc
onestoc is built on the premise that the many people out there that love a product should consider, and feel comfortable about, owning the company stock.
The majority of people don’t have the time, inclination, or training to trade the stock market. Nor should they, as there are many simple low cost alternatives to help save for retirement in an efficient and diversified way.
However, many people have a product or service they feel deeply passionate about. onestock is about advocating for the ownership of that company, and blogging with like minded lay persons who hold the stock out of nothing more the passion for the product or service and it’s unique story. That story is often as unique as the people that follow it. If you love your trips to Costco and are constantly blown away by the great deals and long lines, then perhaps you should own the stock.
Single stock ownership is both fun and emotional. It’s not about making huge “make or break” bets. It should not be thought of as short term in nature either. Like Warren Buffet, our favorite holding period is forever.
