TREASURY BILLS VS MUTUAL FUNDS : N5,000,000: THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I WOULD INVEST IT✅

Remember my previous post where we compared Treasury Bills and Mutual Funds, using N5,000,000 as our example?

Well...

That post was interesting, I saw a lot of interesting suggestions, arguments and contributions in the comments.

Many of you gave me so many flowers 🌹

And packing it now to do decorations is what I'm currently doing

Thank you🙏

Now let's be more serious

Some people said:

“T-Bills all the way.”

Others said:

“Mutual Funds are better.”

And some people wanted to know something even more important:

“Okay Clems, if the N5 million were actually yours, what would YOU do with it?”

Fair question.

So let's take it a step further.

After looking at the strengths and limitations of both instruments, and speaking from my own experience and understanding of investing , if I had N5,000,000 today, I would lean towards Mutual Funds.

But hold on...

When I say Mutual Funds, I don't mean that every investor should go and buy the same type of Mutual Fund.

Your risk appetite matters.

Let me introduce you to two investors.

MEET AKPAN AND UDUMA 👇

Akpan is comfortable taking more investment risk because he is focused on long-term growth.

Uduoma, on the other hand, is conservative.
He doesn't like seeing his investment fluctuate and would rather prioritize stability and preservation of capital.

Now, if I were Akpan, I would seriously consider an Equity Mutual Fund.

But what exactly is an Equity Fund?

📌 WHAT IS AN EQUITY MUTUAL FUND?

Simply put, an Equity Mutual Fund is a fund that pools money from different investors and invests a significant portion of that money in shares/equities of companies.

Instead of you individually researching and buying several stocks, the fund manager manages a diversified portfolio of equities according to the fund's strategy.

Because you're investing in equities, the potential for long-term growth can be higher.

But...

So is the risk.

Your investment value can rise significantly, but it can also fall when the market performs poorly.

That's why Equity Funds are generally more suitable for investors who have a longer investment horizon and can tolerate market fluctuations.

WHAT ABOUT UDUMA?⁉️

If I were Uduma, with a much lower risk appetite, I would probably look more towards a Money Market Fund.

Money Market Funds typically invest in relatively short-term, interest-bearing instruments such as:

👉 Treasury Bills

👉 Commercial Papers

👉 Certificates of Deposit

👉 Other short-term money-market instruments
(So can you see , you're indirectly investing in TBills here)

The objective is generally to provide stability, liquidity and income, rather than aggressive capital growth.

So why would I choose Akpan's Equity Fund over Uduma's Money Market Fund if I were comfortable with the risk?

HERE'S MY REASON 👇

GROWTH POTENTIAL.

Some equity funds can deliver very strong returns during favourable market periods.

For example, if a particular fund has returned 40% year-to-date, a N5,000,000 investment at that same return would mathematically be worth an additional N2,000,000, before considering fees, taxes where applicable, and the fact that past performance does not guarantee future returns.( Some have done more than this YTD)

But don't misunderstand me.

I'm NOT saying every Equity Fund will give you 40%.

I'm using it to demonstrate the difference in potential.

Money Market Funds, on the other hand, generally target more conservative returns.

If, for example, a fund delivered 15% on N5,000,000, that's N750,000 before applicable fees/taxes.

At 18%, that's N900,000.

Again, actual returns vary by fund, market conditions and the period you're measuring.

And this is where the conversation becomes interesting.

Now

WHY I WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY PUT MY N5M IN A MONEY MARKET FUND

One major reason is growth potential.

If I'm investing for the long term and I can comfortably tolerate volatility, I don't want my money merely sitting in an investment whose return may struggle to stay significantly ahead of inflation over time.

Because here's the problem:

Your money can increase in naira terms and still lose purchasing power in real terms.

That's why I pay attention to real return, what my investment actually earns after considering inflation and relevant costs.

And yes, there are also fees and charges to consider.

Depending on the fund, you may have management fees and other applicable charges.

So I don't just look at:

“How much did this fund make?”

I also ask:

“How much did investors actually keep?”✅

BUT HERE'S THE BIGGER LESSON...

I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY PUT THE ENTIRE 5M INTO ONE INVESTMENT.

Yes, diversification bisbkey

And this is where many investors get it wrong.

They hear about one investment performing well and want to put everything there.

That's not how I think about investing.

If I decided that only N3,000,000 of my N5,000,000 should go into Mutual Funds, I could deploy the remaining N2,000,000 into other opportunities.

For example:

🏠 n2,000,000 into Real Estate

Depending on the location and available opportunities, I could use it as a deposit or purchase interest in land/property with long-term appreciation potential.

📊 Equity in an existing business✅

If I find a legitimate business with a proven track record, proper records, competent management and a model I understand, I could consider taking an equity position.

💰 High-Yield Savings✅

Instead of putting all my conservative allocation into Treasury Bills, I could consider a suitable high-yield savings product where the terms, rate, liquidity and applicable conditions make sense for my needs.

And yes, Treasury Bills can still have a place in the portfolio.

Now listen the fact that I'm not talking about TBILLS 👇

I'm not saying Treasury Bills are bad.

Far from it.

So ask me , Clems

WHEN WOULD YOU CONSIDER TREASURY BILLS?

If I have a large amount of capital that I want to preserve while earning relatively predictable returns, Treasury Bills can be useful.

If we're talking about substantial capital — say N150M, N200M, N500M or more , even a relatively conservative return can translate into a significant naira amount.

But the point isn't simply:

“I have a lot of money, therefore I should buy T-Bills.”

Your investment objective, liquidity needs, tax considerations, prevailing yields and alternatives still matter.

MY FINAL ADMONITION 👇

Treasury Bills are good.

Money Market Funds are good.

Equity Funds are good.

But none of them is automatically the best investment for everybody.

The smartest question isn't:

“Which investment is giving the highest return?”

Ask:

“What is this money supposed to do for me?”

If I need capital preservation and relatively predictable income, I may choose differently.

If I'm investing for long-term wealth accumulation and can handle volatility, I may take more equity exposure.

And if I have a substantial amount of money, I don't necessarily have to choose just one.

I can build a portfolio where:

💰 Money Market/T-Bills = Stability

📈 Equity Funds/Stocks = Growth

🏠 Real Estate = Another long-term asset

💼 Business Equity = Ownership & potential upside

The goal isn't to find one magical investment.

The goal is to make your money work across different assets according to your goals, risk tolerance and timeline.

Now, let's make this practical.

IF YOU HAD N5,000,000 TODAY...

Would you:

Put everything in Treasury Bills?⁉️

Put everything in Mutual Funds?⁉️

Split it across Mutual Funds, Real Estate, Stocks/Business and other assets?⁉️

Or...

Do something completely different?⁉️

Tell me what you would do with the N5M and WHY.

SHE UNBELIEVABLY MADE N812,250 IN JUST 8 DAYS! 🔥✅

Before you say, “This must be one of those stories people tell online…”

No, it's not

This one happened right in front of me.

I was in the center of the transaction from day 1 till documentation

Like I have always said if you have been following me, real estate is an equalizer, it is one of the most simplest ways to build and accumulate wealth.

But there is something many people don't talk about enough.

And that is what I mean by the word "an equalizer" ( through I won't due much on this today )

Real estate doesn't only create wealth for the people who buy properties.

It can also create serious income opportunities for the people who sell them.

I am talking about Realtors, sales representatives, referral partners and people who are willing to learn how to sell professionally.

Because yes, they earn commissions.

And yes, there are also incentives.

Yes nahhh… I go lie for you? 😂

Now let's talk

Some time ago, while interviewing a new customer service representative, I made something very clear to her:

“Your salary is certain, but you can also earn commissions.”

She probably thought I was just trying to make the job sound attractive.

She didn't know I was serious.

Because this was someone who had never done sales before.

No previous real estate sales experience.

No track record.

No long history of closing deals.

But she was willing to learn.

And in less than 8 days of resumption, she sold 3 plots of land.

Then came the alert.

N812,250.( After WHT deductions )

Not salary.

Not loan.

But

Commission earned from sales.

That wasn't just an alert.

That was an alarm. 🚨

An alarm reminding us that sometimes, the income opportunity you're looking for isn't necessarily another job.

Sometimes, you simply need to learn how to sell.

Think about what N812,250 can mean to someone right now.

It could clear pressing bills.

It could pay rent.

It could take care of school fees.

It could help someone start a small business.

It could provide breathing space for a family.

It could become capital for another investment.

And the interesting part?

She still has her salary.

That is an additional income.

And this would keep coming, the more she sells

Now imagine what could happen when you actually understand real estate sales, develop the right skills, build your network and consistently work the process.

So let me ask you…👇👇

Are you looking for another stream of income?

Are you a salary earner who wants something beyond your monthly paycheck?

Are you a stay-at-home mum looking for a legitimate income opportunity?

Are you young and looking for a skill that can put money in your hands?

Are you already working but want a profitable side hustle?

Or maybe you're simply tired of watching other people make money from opportunities you don't understand?

Then perhaps it's time to stop watching and start learning.

You don't need to know everything before you start.

You need the right knowledge, the right environment, the right mentorship and the willingness to take action.

IF YOU'RE IN WARRI

You can become a Pillarcrest Realtor and start your journey into professional real estate sales.

You get the opportunity to earn commissions, access incentives and learn how to operate in real estate professionally and strategically.

YOU SAW THE FIRST 6 NGX STOCKS… NOW HERE ARE 7 MORE NGX STOCKS I WOULD HAVE IN MY PORTFOLIO ✅

A few days ago, we talked about 6 NGX stocks that I believe deserve serious attention when you're building a portfolio.

And judging from the conversations that followed that post, a lot of you went back to look at your portfolios differently.

So today, I decided to give you 7 more.
(PS: I'm not saying you should have all these seven , you could pick 3 or 4 from the overall numbers we have shared ohh please ohhh 🙏😆)

Yes, 7 additional NGX stocks that I would personally have on my radar when thinking about quality businesses, earnings, growth potential and long-term value.

And after this?

We move on to other things. 😂

I'm not trying to turn this page into a never-ending list of “stocks you must buy.”

That's not what investing is about.

The objective of this series is to get you to look beyond the share price and start paying attention to the business behind the stock.

Because there are hundreds of companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange.

But that doesn't mean you need to own hundreds of them.

In fact, a portfolio doesn't become better simply because you keep adding more stocks to it.

What matters is understanding what you own, why you own it and what could make that business more valuable over time.

Now, let me ask you:

Did you miss the first list?

If you did, go back to my page and check the previous post.

I deliberately started with 6 stocks, and today I'm adding 7 more.

But before we get into today's list, I'm curious:

Do you already have any of the stocks from the first list in your portfolio?

Or were you waiting for this new list before deciding what to research?

Because here's where I want you to be careful.

Don't read this post and immediately start saying:

“Clems mentioned it, let me buy it.”

No.

Research it.

Study the company's financial statements.

Look at its revenue.

Look at its profit.

Look at its debt.

Look at its cash flow.

Understand its industry.

Look at how management has been allocating capital.

And most importantly, ask yourself:

“Why do I want to own this business?”

That question is far more important than:

“How much is the share price?”

So, whether you're a complete beginner or you've already built a portfolio of 10+ NGX stocks, I want you to approach this list differently.

Don't just count how many of these stocks you own.

Let's see how many you actually understand.

With that said...

Here are 7 more NGX stocks I would have in my portfolio. 👇

So let's get into it.

✅ 1️⃣ OKOMU OIL — currently trading at N1,276.20

Let's start with Okomu Oil Palm Plc.

If you're looking at Nigeria's agricultural and agro-industrial space, Okomu deserves serious attention.

Why?

📌 1. Exposure to essential commodities

The company operates primarily in oil palm and rubber, giving investors exposure to agricultural products with real economic demand.

📌 2. Strong profitability

Okomu generated about N125.3 billion in revenue and N39.7 billion profit after tax in H1 2026.

📌 3. Significant cash position

Its cash balance rose to approximately N21.4 billion by June 2026, while total assets stood at about N166.7 billion.

📌 4. Expansion and productive assets

Okomu isn't simply a company trading commodities. Its plantations, processing capacity and agricultural assets give it exposure to the underlying production side of the value chain.

However, here's where fundamental analysis matters:

H1 2026 profit was lower year-on-year, so this isn't a case of blindly calling every number “strong.”

You have to understand why earnings moved the way they did.

That's investing.

✅ 2️⃣ PRESCO — currently trades at N2,045.30

If you're interested in the palm oil value chain, Presco is another company that deserves serious attention.

And the numbers make the conversation even more interesting.

📌 1. Strong profitability

Presco reported N122.2 billion profit before tax in H1 2026, representing a 9.3% increase from the previous year.

📌 2. Integrated business model

Presco has exposure across oil palm cultivation, processing, refining and related activities.

That means you're looking at more than just the price of palm oil.

📌 3. Dividend potential

The company proposed an N10 interim dividend per share following its H1 2026 performance.

📌 4. Expansion potential

Presco continues to invest in expanding its planted areas and processing capacity, positioning itself for increased production over time.

This is why I don't just look at a stock and ask:

“How much is it trading for?”

I ask:

“What exactly is this company building?”

✅ 3️⃣ NGX GROUP — currently trades at N166.90

Yes, NGX Group itself.

And I think this is one stock many investors should at least understand.

Why?

📌 1. Strong H1 performance

NGX Group generated N17.6 billion revenue in H1 2026, representing a massive 118% increase year-on-year.

📌 2. Profitability exploded

Profit before tax increased by 170% to N14.76 billion, while profit after tax rose 146% to N10.36 billion.

📌 3. Strong market participation

Transaction fees increased by 169% to N13.34 billion, reflecting stronger activity across the capital market.

📌 4. Shareholder returns

NGX Group announced an N1.30 interim dividend per share for H1 2026.

Think about it.

If more investors are participating in the Nigerian capital market, more companies are listing, trading activity increases and the market infrastructure grows...

Who sits at the centre of that ecosystem?

That's part of the NGX Group story.

✅ 4️⃣ MTN NIGERIA — currently trades at N848.00

Now let's talk telecommunications.

MTN Nigeria is not just a company people use to make calls.

It is a major digital infrastructure business.

📌 1. Massive revenue growth

MTN Nigeria's H1 2026 service revenue increased 25.9% to approximately N3 trillion.

📌 2. Strong profitability

EBITDA increased 39.2% to N1.7 trillion, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 55.9%.

📌 3. Profit after tax surged

PAT increased 70.6% to N707.5 billion in H1 2026.

📌 4. Strong cash generation

Free cash flow reached approximately N712.7 billion, up 73.9%, while MTN Nigeria declared an interim dividend of N26 per share.

And here's what I like about studying businesses like MTN:

You're not just looking at today's share price.

You're looking at:

Data. Voice. Digital services. Fintech. Mobile money. Subscribers. Infrastructure.

That's a business.

✅ 5️⃣ BETA GLASS — N511.50

Now this is where it gets interesting.

Beta Glass may not be the first name that comes to mind when people talk about Nigerian stocks.

But that's exactly why investors should learn to look beyond the popular names.

📌 1. Strong revenue base

Beta Glass recorded N79.71 billion revenue in H1 2026, up 1.9% year-on-year.

📌 2. Strong Q2 momentum

Q2 revenue increased 13.8% to N42.18 billion, supported by local and export demand.

📌 3. It serves important industries

Its glass packaging products serve sectors including food, beverages and pharmaceuticals, giving it exposure to several areas of the economy.

📌 4. Still profitable

Beta Glass reported N16.16 billion profit after tax in H1 2026.

But again, don't just hear “profit” and stop researching.

H1 profit declined year-on-year amid cost pressures.

That means you should be watching margins, costs and the company's ability to pass higher costs to customers.

That's what fundamental analysis is about.

✅ 6️⃣ NESTLÉ NIGERIA — currently trades at N2,750.00

Now let's move into consumer goods.

Nestlé Nigeria is another company I would have on my radar.

Why?

📌 1. Revenue is growing

H1 2026 revenue increased 12% to N650.8 billion.

📌 2. Profitability is recovering strongly

Profit before tax increased 43% to N126.8 billion.

📌 3. Profit after tax increased significantly

PAT rose 28% to N64.8 billion, compared with N50.6 billion in H1 2025.

📌 4. Balance sheet has strengthened

Total equity increased to approximately N77.6 billion by June 2026, compared with N12.9 billion at the end of 2025.

And there's something important here:

Nestlé has demonstrated a return to sustained profitability, with H1 2026 marking another period of improved performance after the company's difficult FX-related period.

So when you see a stock like this, don't simply say:

“N2,750 is too expensive.”

Ask:

“What am I getting for the price?”

That's a much better investment question.

✅ 7️⃣ NAHCO — currently trades at N150.00

And I couldn't complete this list without mentioning Nigerian Aviation Handling Company — NAHCO.

This is one of those companies that can easily be overlooked because it doesn't have the same public visibility as MTN, Nestlé or other big names.

But look at the numbers.

📌 1. Revenue growth

Gross revenue increased to N35.36 billion in H1 2026, from N32.33 billion.

📌 2. Operating profit increased

Operating profit rose 25.4% to N14.59 billion.

📌 3. Profit before tax increased

PBT increased 21.8% to N14.37 billion.

📌 4. Profit after tax grew

PAT increased 22.2% to N10.85 billion.

And the bigger story?

NAHCO operates within the aviation handling and logistics ecosystem, with investments in areas such as automation, technical capabilities, storage and warehousing.

Sometimes, the opportunity isn't hiding in the company everybody is shouting about.

Sometimes, it's in the business you haven't taken the time to study.

BUT HERE'S THE BIG LESSON 👇

I'm NOT saying you should rush out tomorrow and buy all seven.

That's not investing.

I'm saying you should stop building your portfolio based purely on:

❌ WhatsApp tips

❌ “This stock will soon fly”

❌ Cheap share prices

❌ Market rumours

❌ What everyone else is buying

❌ Someone's screenshot of their portfolio

Instead, start asking better questions:

How profitable is the company?

Is revenue growing?

Is profit growing?

What is happening to margins?

Is cash flow healthy?

Does the company have a strong balance sheet?

Does management allocate capital well?

Does the business have a competitive advantage?

Can the business continue growing?

Because ultimately...

YOU ARE NOT JUST BUYING A TICKER.

YOU ARE BUYING A PIECE OF A BUSINESS.

And that is the difference between someone who is simply buying stocks and someone who is actually learning to invest.

So let me ask you:

How many of these 7 companies are currently in your portfolio?

Tell me their tickers in the comment section and, more importantly, tell me why you own them. 👇

Don't just say:

“MTN.”

Tell me why.

IF NONE OF THESE 6 NGX STOCKS ARE IN YOUR PORTFOLIO, THEN WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU INVESTING IN?✅

I know you're an investor

Yes, you have been investing heavily in the Nigerian Stocks Exchange

Infact you have up to 8 to 10 stocks in your portfolio

Wow congratulations 🎉

The truth is

Some portfolios are filled with stocks because someone said, “This one will soon fly.”

Others are built around rumours, WhatsApp recommendations, price movements and what is trending.

But, this morning, I will admonish you to

Stop buying what you don't know all in the name of filling up your so called Portfolio

You must know that when it comes to investing, being busy is not the same as being productive.

Buying 10 different stocks doesn't automatically mean you have a good portfolio.

You need to understand what you own, why you own it, and the fundamentals behind the business.

So today, let's look at 6 fundamentally strong companies on the NGX that deserve serious attention.

And note, the fact that we will look at six doesn't mean you should have the entire 6 in your portfolio

Yes, I must say that immediately before you proceed

The lesson here is simple, whether you're a complete newbie, try your possible to at least have one of these stocks in your portfolio

If you could have good financial muscles to flex, then 3 out of 6 won't be a bad option

Now, let's quickly look at these 6 Stocks that could completely make your effort in the Nigerian Stock Market a complete distraction is you don't have Atleast 1 of these stocks in your portfolio

✅ 1️⃣ ZENITH BANK currently trades at - N135.50

Before I will talk about Zenith Bank, I would like you to ask yourself 👇

Why does Zenith continue to stand out?

Oh, the reasons are simple and quiet enormous, but let's look at just 4 reasons why Zenith Bank

1. Strong profitability:

Zenith reported over N1 trillion in profit after tax for 2025, showing its ability to generate substantial earnings.

2. Massive deposit franchise:

Customer deposits grew to about N24.33 trillion in 2025.

3. Strong balance sheet:

Total assets reached approximately N31.46 trillion, while shareholders' funds increased significantly.

4. Shareholder returns:

Zenith has a long history of returning value to shareholders through dividends.

This is not simply a bank with a popular name. There is a very large financial institution behind the ticker.

✅ 2️⃣ GTCO currently trades at - N132.50

GTCO is another company where the numbers deserve attention.

And I know you would still ask, Why GTCO?

Isn't that name too heavy for you to call, GTCO😆

If it's not, then let's look at 4 reasons why GTCO is a big name

1. Strong earnings:

GTCO recorded N1.23 trillion profit before tax in 2025.

2. Growing core income:

Interest income and fee income increased by 23.2% and 25.9%, respectively.

3. Strong capital position:

Its capital adequacy ratio stood at 43.8% at the end of 2025.

4. Diversified business:

GTCO is no longer just a traditional banking story. Its group structure includes payments, pensions and fund management.

That's why when I'm looking at a portfolio, I don't only ask:

“What is the share price?”

I ask:

“What is the business doing?”

✅ 3️⃣ ARADEL HOLDINGS currently trades at N1530.00

Now let's move into the energy space.

Aradel is particularly interesting because it is not simply an oil exploration story.

Would you still ask, why Aradel?

Before you ask, let's quickly look at 4 reasons too, why you should have ARADEL in your portfolio

1. Integrated energy business:

It has exposure across oil, gas and refining.

2. Massive earnings growth:

In FY2025, revenue grew 20% to N699.4 billion, while profit after tax increased 192% to N757.3 billion.

3. Bigger production base:

Its acquisition activity significantly expanded its reserves, production base and operational footprint.

4. Strong H1 2026 performance:

Revenue reached N2.49 trillion in H1 2026, with EBITDA of N1.39 trillion and operating cash flow of N975.6 billion.

That is the kind of company where you need to look beyond the share price and understand the underlying assets and cash generation.

✅ 4️⃣ HBM NIGERIA PLC currently trades at - N355

Yes, HBM Nigeria — formerly Lafarge Africa.

Its fundamentals are worth studying.

1. Revenue growth:

H1 2026 revenue increased by 31% to about N678.4 billion.

2. Strong profit growth:

Profit after tax jumped 57% to about N208.35 billion.

3. Improving operating efficiency:

Operating profit grew by more than 51%.

4. Dividend return:

The company declared an interim dividend of N16 per share for H1 2026.

So if you're building a portfolio and you're completely ignoring companies with this kind of earnings profile, you may need to revisit your research process.

✅ 5️⃣ DANGOTE CEMENT currently trades at - N1,066.70

This one shouldn't surprise anyone.

Dangote Cement remains one of the largest and most important companies on the NGX.

1. Strong revenue growth:

H1 2026 revenue increased by about 21% to N2.51 trillion.

2. Strong profitability:

Profit after tax reached approximately N638.5 billion, up 22.7%.

3. Improving EBITDA:

Group EBITDA increased by about 26% to N1.19 trillion.

4. Strong operating position:

Group cement volumes increased by 11.8%, while Nigeria's EBITDA margin reached about 60%.

This is why I keep saying:

Don't invest in a company because the share price is moving.

Understand the business producing the earnings behind that price.

✅ 6️⃣ BUA FOODS currently trades at - N760.60

And then we have BUA Foods.

A company operating in one of the most important sectors of any economy:

FOOD.

1. Essential products:

Sugar, flour, pasta, rice and other food products are things Nigerians consume regardless of market sentiment.

2. Strong profitability:
3.
H1 2026 profit after tax increased 12% to N292.27 billion.

3. Improving margins:

Gross profit margin expanded from 37.2% to 47.5%, while operating margin rose to 42%.

4. Expansion:

The company continues investing in manufacturing capacity, edible oils, noodles and other areas of its food business.

And this is important:

Revenue doesn't tell the whole story.

BUA Foods' H1 revenue declined, yet profit increased because the company improved margins, reduced operating costs and managed its business more efficiently.

That's exactly why fundamental analysis matters.

And I won't just go without mentioning a few others like NGX Group

BUT HERE'S THE BIG LESSON 👇✅

I'm not saying you should rush out tomorrow and buy all six. ( I have said that earlier )

That's not investing.

I'm saying you should stop building portfolios based purely on:

❌ WhatsApp tips

❌ “This stock will soon fly”

❌ Cheap share prices

❌ Market rumours

❌ What everyone else is buying

Start asking better questions:

How profitable is the company?

Is revenue growing?

Is cash flow healthy?

Does the company have a strong balance sheet?

Does management allocate capital well?

Does the business have a competitive advantage?

Because ultimately, you are not buying a ticker.

You are buying a piece of a business.

So let me ask you:

How many of these 6 companies are currently in your portfolio?

Tell in the comment section with their Tickers and also state why you have it👇
