Ask HN: Just curious, what stocks do HN readers hold?

None because I am smart enough to know that I personally am too dumb to fully understand them in any truly strategic manner.

I do invest in index funds but generally just spread it around.

I'm conservative with my investments so I can be risky in my work life.

AXPW is my number one pick right now for risk/reward. They are on the cusp of commercializing a Lead-Carbon battery, which allows many discharge cycles. Normal lead acid batteries sulfate after a while and fails. This is good for energy storage and certain types of hybrid vehicles.

I hold: GOOG, MSFT, JCTCF, BRK.B, Some net current asset bargains, some microcap cigar butt FCF bargains

Just sold HRB, and WILC

I primailly invest in Ben Graham style bargains.

In addition, I am always on the hunt for companies with strong competitve positions protecting high returns on capital, decent growth prospects, and reasonable prices.
