<\/a><\/p>\nWhat we all did (i.e. how we messed up) was to not stick with them.<\/strong> We got panicked out of them when they fell, got busy with something else, then forgot to get back in when stocks turned (like lately).<\/p>\n I could expand this list to include companies like Tesla (11.45 times appreciation over the past ten years) and Facebook (2.53 times). But history is not relevant — unless you pluck a lesson from it:<\/p>\n You love the stock if the management and their technology impresses.<\/p>\n Tesla is the classic double whammy. Great management. Great technology. Facebook is pretty good. And now Microsoft, with its new boss, looks pretty good.<\/p>\n Harry’s thought is simple: Let’s all buy a portfolio of Great Technology, Great Management Stocks<\/strong> and lock them away for ten years.<\/p>\n Which ones? I had this “brilliant” idea to google “The Most Innovative Companies.<\/em>“<\/p>\n Bingo, lists appeared from Forbes, Fortune, BCG Global Insights, and Fast Company.<\/p>\n I scanned the lists (added my own and my friends’ ideas) and came up with this list:<\/p>\n Adobe ADBE I went through their price charts of the last ten years\u00a0 (or less, if they were younger), and learned:<\/p>\n + Most go down sharply at some point — usually during a recession. But they usually bounce back.<\/p>\n + Some go down for a long time and may or may not bounce back, e.g.Fitbit or GoPro.<\/p>\n + Some sit down for a long time and then skyrocket, e.g. Tesla.<\/p>\n + Some suddenly get with innovation and transform themselves — like Verizon — and pay a handsome dividend — like Verizon.<\/p>\n I don’t profess to have discovered a new investment approach.<\/p>\n But brilliant management and brilliant technology has a good chance of making it over time.<\/p>\n Hence I am asking you, my readers, to check out my list and let me have your additions or deletions.<\/p>\n FYI, here’s a nice chart I found when googling most innovative companies. These tend to be very large companies. Most won’t become ten-baggers over the next ten years. We’re looking for smaller ones with great technology and great leaders. Fitbit, Mobileye and GoPro fit that criteria. Google\u00a0 Forbes, Fortune, and Fast Company and see what you find.<\/p>\n Apple’s new tiny SE phone. <\/strong><\/span>It’s impressed the reviewers. Here’s one. Click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n A Jewish Divorce<\/strong><\/span> When the final papers have been signed and the divorce is completed, the woman thanks the judge and says, “OK. Now I have to arrange for a Ghet.”<\/p>\n The judge inquires what she means by a ‘Ghet’.<\/p>\n The woman explains that a Ghet is a religious ceremony which is required under the Jewish religion in order to receive a divorce that is recognized by the Jewish faith.<\/p>\n The Judge says, “You mean it’s a religious ceremony like a Bris?”<\/p>\n “Well,” she replies, “Yes, it’s sort of similar to a Bris, only in this case you get rid of the entire prick.”<\/p>\n
