Stock Pick
  
For many retail investors (and bad professional ones), the first thing they do to prep for picking a stock is don the blindfolds, spin around 3 times, and check out the donkey on the wall with stock tickers painted all over its a$$.
Picking a stock just means, well, buying it. Making it a “bet, or an investment. A vehicle the picker thinks will appreciate in value. And be worth more than it cost. As Warren B. (the investor, not the rapper) said, “Pick stocks. Leave noses alone.”
