Rocky’s Weekly Stock Picks

This week we’re buying bonds. Goodnight, everybody!

Okay but let’s just say we have $100 to spend 5 times. Would we make $20 buys, or spend $500? How is that meant to be interpreted?

Let’s just spin the wheel and see where we land!

1. XYL - $125.63/share, 1.15% annualized return. options trade monthly.
   
   This is the most blue chip of all stocks. The company literally never loses money. What magical, miraculous industry could this company be engaged in?

2. KAR - $15.06/share, options trade monthly. No dividends.
