I already have money tied up in a Fidelity investment, but I want to just buy 1 company's stock right now. I plan on holding it at least 10 years and the reason for only one is I don't want a bunch of stuff to keep an eye on. I'm thinking about energy or big pharma like Duke energy or Pfizer or maybe something like Stryker. What would you buy in this scenario?

I currently own...

Disney
- It's a very solid company with some great recent acquisitions

Facebook - This is my speculative stock, if they can ever figure out how to monetize their 600+ billion active users, I want to own it before it happens

Netflix - They are the future of television and they are the best of the breed

News Corp - Conservatives are glued to Fox News and they also have very popular shows

Ruger - They make the best guns and cannot keep up with demand

Apple - They have solid fundamentals and a good dividend yield

I'd invest into various 3-D printing companies; within 10 years 3-D printers will be fairly common therefore the shares of those companies will increase.

Ford is still a good bet. They are expanding in Asia and Lincoln will be entering the Chinese market next year. All they need is for Europe to turn around, even if only a little. $20 is a good possibility in the next 5 years.

I would pick MSFT, if you want good upside and don't want to lose your money.

You've seen a few answers. Are you actually going to do this, or was this a drill?
