My top pick to buy and hold is the BOTZ ETF for 2018 and on.
What's is Botz:
The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ) seeks to invest in companies that potentially stand to benefit from increased adoption and utilization of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), including those involved with industrial robotics and automation, non-industrial robots, and autonomous vehicles.
In the age of Alexa and soon to be autonomious cars, everything will be automated and mostly run by computers, so why not invest in tbe technology.
BOTZ has gone up by 85% the past 12 months and hovers around $27. This is a great stock to get into, since its fairly new and has a lot of room to grow. I predict it will hit $100 in the next two years.
Best and cheapest way to buy it is to sign up for a Robinhood account. They do not charge commission fee for buying or selling, so you can buy a few shares a week and stock up. Here's the link to Robinhood. http://share.robinhood.com/markt124
Please let me know your thoughts and if you have any stock picks for 2018.
Thanks,
