While every single day of every single year is a great opportunity to build out and increase your wealth and passive income, the start of a new year is a particularly good time to look at investment ideas that could hold the potential to deliver better results than most other investment ideas available.
With this in mind, I’m going to reveal my top 10 stock ideas for 2018!
While these are highly worthwhile investment ideas to consider for this year, every stock listed could and probably should be thought of as a very long-term investment.
2018 could indeed be just the start of a very long runway for growing profit, increasing dividends, and happy shareholders for decades to come.
These stocks have passed a few hurdles to be considered.

Hey Jason, great list! Medtronic and Disney are both near the top of my shopping list heading into 2018, and I love the inclusion of the last stock on your list, as well. Happy new year!

PP,
Every business/stock is set up well for the long haul, but I think many are positioned particularly well for 2018. 🙂
Thanks for dropping by!
Cheers.
Thanks for the list. Now going to research some of them!
FV,
My pleasure! 🙂
Best regards.
Good Day Jason
I hope you had a great new years day.
I enjoyed the list you have put up on daily trade alert. these are all high quality company’s for investors to own. Growth with a dividend whats not to like about that. I appreciate the work you do writing stories and about dividend stocks. I look to add SJM, and WSM to my portfolio. just looking for a little pull back in the price.
I have been following you on twitter and mr free, it looks like you having a time of you life in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
I hope you have a healthy and prosperous 2018
Cheers Michael
Michael,
Thanks for the support. I’m so fortunate right now. I really am having the time of my life. 🙂
Hoping you also have a very healthy and prosperous 2018!
Best wishes.
I own Amgen, AT&T and Disney – you’ve list some I’ve not considered. Thanks for the homework!
Chris,
Happy to provide some compelling ideas for this year (and many years to come). 🙂
Cheers!
Great ideas. I have AMGN and DIS. My top pick this year is BRKB, due to the tax law benefits and growth of the equity portfolio. I know you only buy the dividend payers though. 🙂
JayP,
A lot of great businesses out there, including Berkshire. Tough to select just 10, but I think each stock provides a compelling opportunity at this time.
Thanks for dropping by!
Cheers.
Some really interesting names in there. Some I haven’t heard of too often and others that are household names. A really nice selection. Wishing you all the best in 2018.
BHL,
Wishing you the best throughout 2018, too!
Best regards.
Hi Jason,
Happy New Year to you! Great article. I am already a happy shareholder of DIS, T and ENB. I wanted to jump into SJM when it was in the low $100’s but didn’t have the cash ready to deploy and missed the window.
And I’ve been independently checking out PZZA once the stock dropped after the CEO got ousted (that was a real shame IMHO) so it’s nice to see you are also looking at it. It’s a great business and a strong brand.
HBI is another one on my watch list.
Another fallen hero I’m examining is PCG. They indicated that they needed to suspend the dividend to raise cash for any legal liability of the California Wildfires, but once that passes their earning power should remain intact. So this is an interesting idea for me since the margin of safety is quite healthy. What do you think?
Best wishes,
-Mike
Mike,
I agree about the CEO situation over there at Papa John’s. It is a shame. The divisiveness and political atmosphere in the US is one thing I don’t miss. If I’m being honest about it, it’s one thing that started to really turn me off and drive me away.
I haven’t taken a look at PCG. A suspended dividend obviously puts a bad taste in my mouth, so it probably won’t end up on my radar anytime soon. But perhaps after the dividend is reinstated and put back on track for growth…
Looking forward to 2018 for all of us! 🙂
Best regards.
Great list Jason. I only own a couple so there is opportunity here to add to my portfolio. Tom
Tom,
Definitely some opportunities here.
Cheers!
