21 Stocks To Make You Rich

Posted on June 13, 2007

Yahoo Personal Finance and Kiplinger Magazine recently ran an article with one of those titles luring you to click on it and take a look:  21 Stocks To Make You Rich.  Simple and direct, you have to see what they are suggesting.  A panel of seven top portfolio managers name their favorite stocks.  Here are the stocks (not listed in particular order):

  1. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A)
  2. McDonald’s (MCD)
  3. Mueller Water Products (MWA)
  4. Sanofi-Aventis (SNY)
  5. Ericsson (ERIC)
  6. HSBC (HBC)
  7. Apple (AAPL)
  8. UPS (UPS)
  9. FPL Group (FPL)
  10. Parexel International (PRXL)
  11. Ladish Co. (LDSH)
  12. Bucyrus International (BUCY)
  13. Amdocs (DOX)
  14. Las Vegas Sands (LVS)
  15. Western Union (WU)
  16. Anglo-American (AAUK)
  17. Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ)
  18. Imperial Tobacco (ITY)
  19. Diageo (DEO)
  20. News Corp. (NWS)
  21. PetSmart (PETM)

I think it should go without saying, but you have to take articles with mouse clicking headlines like 21 Stocks To Make You Rich with a grain of salt.  Long term strategic financial planning and proper asset allocation in my opinion are far more important than catching the next big stock.  I very rarely track the fluctuations of individual stocks to squeak out an extra percentage or two per year at best, but rather select an appropriate asset allocation of index funds for my risk tolerance, making a few tweaks here and there when needed.

Whether you are going for car insurance or any other deal, make sure that the name is worthwhile in the money supermarket. In business services, such details matter. Wise decisions save one from consolidation loans as well as foreclosures. Even if needed, interest only mortgages should be preferred.

    1. Q at $1 Million to My Name on June 13th, 2007 8:19 am

      Oh yeah, I’m a real pro. :)
      I got into MWA by owning WLT. WLT did a non-taxable spinoff of MWA, so now I own MWA B Class shares. I never figured out my cost basis in MWA, but I figure it’s around $15.00. So I’m up just a bit.

      I’ve actually done alot better with WLT. I got into it at $18.00, and it’s at $29.70 now.

      Yea I would have to agree with you Plus, I’m also in favor of index funds. I’m not a huge fan of “catching the next big stock” as you so put it. I think long term is the key to success :)
