Guess the Stock E41｜Back to Nifty Fifty from Big Tech

Event Description:

This event is to help mooers learn more about the differences among companies and industries, identify hidden opportunities, and better navigate the market.

Big Tech earnings just came out. The five giants' earnings results are crucial to investors nowadays, indicating the overall economic situation and influencing market performance. In fact, instead of five companies, there were fifty most popular stocks that traded at high valuations in the 1960s and 1970s, called Nifty Fifty. They included household names such as Coca-Cola, IBM and Xerox. Nifty Fifty has been viewed as a "one decision" pick due to its proven growth record and consistent dividend increases. Guess who they are for this weekend!
