[QUOTE="godzilla, post: 1214164, member: 9208"] If you're a regular reader here, you are aware of the decline of the West. Some things to think about. -Obesity There will likely be more taxes and regulations coming to try to curtail obesity. You're already seeing soda taxes in some major cities. The same thing happened to cigarettes years ago. The largest companies benefit from this. I believe up until 2 or 3 years ago Altria, the owner of Marlboro was the best performing stock in the S&P 500 since 1968. Think Coca Cola, Pepsi might be good. -Opioid Crisis Think drugs to help for opioid dependency or marijuana which seems to be better for pain management. - Homosexuality The rate of homosexuality is still increasing. You can invest in companies that make drugs for HIV and colon cancer. Gilead is the leader here I believe, probably some experimental treatments as well. - Automation Think companies that are helping automate things and simplify things. Cloud computing works here. Think Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. - Delayed marriage As people get married later, they will spend their money on other things instead of saving and family. Think about travel, sports, etc. Some companies might be Marriott, Airbnb for example. -Female consumerism Harder to predict which companies will succeed here, though as you've seen my APPL stock, finding the next big thing might lead to big gains.
