The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust has $39 billion invested in the stock market, primarily in a few stocks, due to a combination of donations and interesting industrial stock purchases. The Trust’s portfolio is discussed in a video by Travis Hoium, which includes holdings in Microsoft and other stocks. However, the Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team suggests that there are 10 best stocks for investors to buy now, and Microsoft is not one of them. The Stock Advisor service has outperformed the S&P 500 since 2002 and provides guidance and new stock picks for investors.
