In Your 40s? 3 Stocks You Might Want to Buy -- The Motley Fool

What will the world look like 20 to 25 years from now? That's the question that investors in their forties should think about when considering which stocks to buy now. While even the best prognosticators can't know for sure what the future holds, three stocks seem to be pretty good bets to survive and thrive in the decades ahead. If you're in your forties, here's why Google's parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Illumina (NASDAQ:ILMN), and Teladoc (NYSE:TDOC) could be stocks to consider. Alphabet is about a lot more than just its enormously successful Google search engine. The company claims a leadership role in many of the most important technologies for the future, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and virtual reality.
