If you invested in stocks with only one letter in their stock symbol, you would be invested in 24 very diverse stocks.

@melody5697 Here's a Motif I made

@melody5697 This could be the ultimate marketing test.

 

[resjudicata]

@melody5697 Do you ever feel like Brandon Marshall talks too much?

 

[bldssphq]

@pilgrim73 I wonder how this portfolio compares to the market over time.

 

[jinxy]

@bldssphq I, Q, W, Z are ruining things since they're so new and there's no history. Removing them gives me ~5 years of history: https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com...idends=true&allocation13_1=5&allocation17_1=5

@jinxy You'd feel like a mad genius in 2014

 

[resjudicata]

@jinxy This fails to account for the previous one-letter companies, many of which did so badly as to be delisted at one point.

Astra AB (formerly A), Chrysler (formerly C), G (formerly GE ITS), H (formerly Realogy - it's complicated), I (formerly First Interstate Bancorp), J (Jackpot), L (formerly Liberty Media), M (formerly M-Corp), N (formerly Inco), P (formerly Philips), S (formerly Sears), U (US Airways), V (formerly Vivendi), W (formerly Westvaco), Z (previously Foot Locker/Woolworth).

@pilgrim73 Today's portfolio has been brought to you by the letters...

 

[james2175]

@stevejames 3, which is how many joints I've smoked today.

 

[justcoolforyou]

@pilgrim73 /r/Showerthoughts is leaking.

 

[der]

@pilgrim73 Agilent.

 

[mirxx]

@pilgrim73 Since were all doing it anyways, J and U are the missing tickers.

 

[pilgrim73]

@mirxx J and U are not stock symbols. Hopefully a company in the future will use one of them.

 

[vnct0000]

@pilgrim73 Read you loud and clear buddy. Can't wait for the Jahoo rebrand myself.

 

[resjudicata]

@pilgrim73 The argument we are using is that if a company has a one letter ticker it has probably been around for a long time (when those tickers were available) and therefore it has a solid business strategy.

 

[sctiger29]

@resjudicata Yeah, like Pandora

 

[resjudicata]

@sctiger29 Nothing is perfect.

 

[vnct0000]

@resjudicata Jesus's love for your children.

 

[resjudicata]

@vnct0000 Ill save this comment for 10 years when i might have kids =)

 

[stevejames]

@resjudicata That, or the opposite
