Sean: Which US stocks would you recommend for beginners?

Toni: Recommend. OK, but first thing before I say my answer, I just want to give this disclaimer. Don't transact or don't buy stocks just because you hear it from me, or just because you hear it from Sean. So like going by Marvin Germo's words, you know, investing in U.S. stocks even is all about conviction. So take the time to build your conviction on it.

Toni: But let's say if you want to be more passive, you want a less hands-on approach than Warren Buffett advocates index fund investing. So, you know, the index fund, basically it tracks the S&P 500 or the Fortune 500 companies. So if you don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about what stock from the 500 to buy, then you can just simply own every piece of that stock in the Fortune 500. So that's what an index fund is. You can look up Vanguard Growth Fund. That's why I like the VOO or the Schwab S&P 500.

Toni: But how I do it personally is I like to separate that into two categories. So one, is more on future U.S. stocks. Stocks that I know have potential value to go in the future. And then the second category would be branded stocks. So these are stocks that already have a large presence. We all know them. They're familiar to us.

Toni: So if you want to choose what stocks to invest in, focus on the sectors that you have conviction in. Like, for example, there are tech stocks that I believe have the potential to grow or make you money in the future. Like, for example, a lot of people are now entering the EV market. People are now switching to sustainable stocks, and more and more people are buying electric cars, right?

Toni: And I believe that 10, 15 years from now, we're all going to shift to that system. So that's why a lot of people would invest in stocks like Tesla or even NIO, right? But for example, if you want to go for stocks that focus on streaming or online platforms like Facebook or Zoom, or Netflix, I think we've seen at the beginning of the pandemic that, you know, Zoom boomed because there was a demand for it.

Toni: So I still believe that even after the pandemic, once everything cools down, people would still be using Zoom because now we've sort of realized that, you know, we can do everything online now, we can have meetings through Zoom. So that's why I also personally invest in platforms like that. Well, another thing would also be fintech stocks. So fintech stocks like Paypal or Square also have a lot of potential because more and more people are doing cashless transactions now. More and more people prefer that because, you know, we're trying to limit contact and all of that.
