[QUOTE="Techster, post: 602802, member: 360"] I'm big on the payments sector. As more and more people in countries get access to the internet and get mobile phones (looking at the continents of Africa and South America, China, India), transactions will become more electronics based. More transactions at physical stores that are not modernized will get payment machines. IMO, as big as electronics based payments have become, we are not even close to what it will be in the next 10 years. I put together a small payments portfolio of: VISA Mastercard Square Paypal First Data The return since I put it together in 02/2018 is 56.59% as of opening bell this morning. My only regret is I didn't sell my "losers" and invest more into that portfolio. (I define "losers" as any stock that doesn't keep pace with the Vanguard 500 Index Admiral Shares fund as that's my benchmark for safe haven investing) BTW. For those that want to invest in a diversified basket of stocks, but don't have the means to invest in multiple stocks at one time, I highly suggest looking at Motif. You can buy fractional shares (basically a percent of one share). Great way to diversify on a micro level if you don't have the means at this time. [/QUOTE]
