FYI: Each year around this time, the headlines blare about what you should do with your cash. Click around any of the usual financial media sites, and you will find all manner of experts detailing the “must own” stocks you should be buying right now if you want big returns in the year ahead.
The lists certainly look slick and professional; they seem to be expertly assembled. They also tend to have a similar makeup: Usually a few highfliers (Apple, Google, Netflix, Tesla); some more modest technology names (Microsoft, Qualcomm); a bank or two (JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs); some conservative dividend plays, a health care or pharma, a mid- or small-cap, as well as a few companies you never heard of.
