Best U.S. Stocks To Buy in 2019

Already looking ahead to 2019 for some quality stock investment options? Good, you should be. Any good investor looks at not only the short term possibility for a positive ROI but also looks to the future for what stocks could lead to massive gains.

Amazon

There's simply no denying Amazon's power. Their growth hasn't stopped, but their perpetual growth does cause some investors to pause. What goes up must come down, right? In the case of Amazon, this simply will not be the case—especially in 2019. Amazon has their hands in nearly any industry you can imagine and it's only going to have an even bigger grasp on these industries as time goes on (video, streaming, web services, etc).

With a booming ecommerce branch, Amazon is positioned to continue to grow domestically, and globally. With a projected 5-year average annual EPS growth of 45.9% you can't not buy in to Amazon stock.

American Water Works

Looking for a low-risk dividend yielding stock? Look no further than American Water Works. With a stellar dividend yield of 2.05% according to YAHOO! Finance and a 10-year return of over 400%, this company is a solid investment. So if you're looking for a way to diversify your portfolio in 2019 with a low-risk stock with a high reward potential, American Water Works is a solid investment.

Disney

Why you ask would Disney make our list? They have made some big moves in 2018, moves which position this company for a big jump in the value of their stock come 2019. Specifically, their acquisition for most of Fox coupled with their large library of movie content hints to their development of a streaming service.

The Disney streaming service has been talked about for a while. Some see their lack of entrance into streaming as a weakness, but it's simply not. While their streaming service seems to currently be in limbo, once it is live you can bet every family with kids will be willing to shell out $9.99 a month. And when this day comes, stock prices will climb.

Berkshire Hathaway

With Warren Buffet at 87 years old, eventually he will have to step away as the figure head of Berkshire Hathaway. This simple fact is why Berkshire Hathaway is a top stock to buy in 2019. Putting aside the potential retirement of Buffet, Berkshire Hathaway is a great buy: it's practically a mutual fund with a diversified group of holdings—but without the management fee!

So why do we mention Buffet's potential retirement then? When Buffet retires, the firm could break up, over time, and investors would see major benefits from this process.

Align Technology

A perfect example in recent months of how strong stocks can continue to get stronger. This medical device company is mostly known for the Invisalign braces, which continue to increase in sales. Their second-quarter earnings report in July 2018 showed Invisalign shipments jumping over 30%. This stat, coupled with jumps in quarterly profit and sales, means this stock is not going to slow down its growth any time soon. If you can, buy today, but don't hesitate to buy this stock again in 2019 as the growth continues into 2020.
