For example, look how these stocks performed in the last 5 years

Nike: -77%
Adidas: -53%
PayPal: -80%
Disney: -42%
Comcast: -55%
Dollar General: 43%
Lululemon: -77%
Starbucks: -17%
Target: -36%

These are products / places people see or
use everyday

But you would've lost money

So how should you invest instead?

Start with your goals, timeline and risk tolerance

Use diversified, low-cost ETFs or index funds as your foundation

Spread your money across appropriate asset classes

Invest consistently

Review and rebalance your portfolio

The idea of investing in the products that you use is not the best investment advice

I get the idea as to why it sounds good, it gets people to into the world of investing / finance which is great

However, just because you use the product doesn’t mean buy the stock
