Dave Ramsey says: Don’t sell yourself short by chasing single-stock investments

Dear Dave,

– Karole

Dear Karole,

Some people play single stocks on one-time investments like this, but I don’t like that idea.

Single-stock investments don’t consistently generate the kind of returns over long periods of time that a good mutual fund will. Why sell yourself short?

When it comes to investing, I consider 10 years or more to be a long time. That being the case, I’d suggest a growth stock or growth and income mutual fund with a solid track record of 10 to 20 years.

I hope this helps!

— Dave
