I got my notification for this 5 year old post asking about 10x stocks:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/lu6i2t/comment/gp54sbj/](https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/lu6i2t/comment/gp54sbj/)
Almost nothing was a hit. PLTR was called out a few times but I only found one user, u/bignut09, That called out NVDA. I did not see APLD, CLS, MOD, ALM, FTAI, LQDA, VRT, BTU or SMCI. Those (and NVDA) are the top 10 performing stocks over the last 5 years.
I did find a lot of losing tickers: BYND, BB, CRSP, CRSR, MRNA, CISQ, BFLY, UPST and plenty of others.
I saw SOFI and ALLY called out but you would have been better off to stick your money in HYSA over the same duration.
What did I learn from this? It seems no one really knows anything except u/bignut09. To me looking for the next 10X seems to be almost impossible. Slow and steady growth seems to be a better target and diversification as always is key.
And crucially u/bignut09, what should we invest for the next 5 years?
