Peter Lynch was a great investor that wrote a great book called One Up on Wall Street. His strategy is pretty simple. Go to businesses that you see a lot of hype for. If there are people standing in long lines outside of the store waiting to get in, then it is a good business to invest in. He uses a great example of a guy trying to pick the best stocks by listening to the media experts on investing. Meanwhile his wife comes home and says this new retail store opened up and is packed from wall to wall with customers fighting over the last pieces of clothing. A few months later that business has its stock explode and then the guy buys in. He goes to tell his wife and his wife says oh honey I don't like shopping there anymore because I noticed the quality isn't that good anymore. The guy says you don't know what you're talking about and proceeds to lose money on his investment. The point Lynch was making is that the ordinary people are the ones who signal what the best investments are. It's the things people are going crazy over.

Costco is a good example that comes to mind. It keeps going up because people keep going back to it. It's almost always busy. Amazon is growing like crazy and consumer demand for it isn't going down anytime soon. AI is probably something worth investing into as well. Just some ideas, I'm not invested in that shit though.

This is a solid strategy. Chick Fil a or however they spell that Jesus chicken place and Costco. Lines so bad one local town blocked a Jesus chicken from opening because they didn't have a big enough lot and the town didn't want the public road constantly blocked by the drive through line.

I don't know any other brick and mortar that comes close.

Chik fila is a great one! You canโ€™t tell me that it isnโ€™t a good restaurant to invest in. Thereโ€™s no way they are not profitable with that type of activity!

Jesus chicken ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Costco was selling gold oz bars awhile back

Costco does a great job of market research. They find out what their customers want and get it for them at the best deal.

They need to accept corn ๐Ÿ˜›

They probably will sell it at some point

I think I saw a bitcoin ATM in mine last time I went. Third party vendor

Imagine the inbound liquidity on a Costco LN node

Theyโ€™d make more money than strike ๐Ÿ˜‚
