　The author, who worked for a major financial institution, began to think of early retirement at the age of 40. Ten years later, he achieved 100 million yen in assets and achieved Fire (economic independence and early retirement). In his book "[El E -style] 100 million yen in US stock investment", an investment method that can be reproduced by individual investors who are "beginners and under more mania", from ages to 10 strongest investment stocks. Is thoroughly instruction. [See the image of this article] ● Er style "The strongest 10 brands" ② [last time]. (3) Costco Hall Sales (COST) A paid member -based retail store that operates business in Japan, and is a necessity for life that is hard to affect the economy. In the retail chain category, sales are second after the world's largest Wal -Mart (WMT), and the market capitalization is also second. The difference from Walmart is that it is a "paid membership system". Since the pillars of revenue are membership fees, we will narrow down the products handled and provide them at low prices that are almost the same as the procurement cost. A store that remodeled the airplane hangar has originated, reducing the cost of display and stock management at a large warehouse -type store that trends the flow. ④ Lockheed Martin (LMT) In the United States, which boasts the world's strongest military power, it is the largest military aircraft manufacturer. Approximately 70 % of sales are for the United States government. If the U.S. government reduces military power, it will be a big hit, but it is necessary to respond to China, which has emerged in the military, so it seems that there is no worries in the medium to long term. Above all, the latest stealth fighter "F-35 Lightning II" has been developed mainly by Lockheed Martin, and more than 2,000 procurements are being made for the US military alone. The Japanese Self -Defense Force has also decided to purchase more than 100 aircraft, and the procurement price is 11.6 billion yen per unit. Some people may say that investing in the military industry is a bit distracted, but many of the ETFs invested in US stocks also invest in Lockheed Martin, so investing in ETFs indirectly. Is an investment in Lockheed Martin. ⑤ Macoff (MKC) McCormic is the world's largest seasoning manufacturer. Above all, the overwhelming top brand boasts the number one sales in the United States, which is considered to be 200 billion yen. In Japan, Yuki Foods is the seller, and products of Maccomic brands are found in supermarkets. Not only in North America, but also in the United Kingdom and France, it accounts for 30 to 50 % share. It is a necessity sector that is hard to be affected by the economy, and seasonings such as spices and herbs are the basis of "food", so we expect business to be strong in the future. There is also a strong number of dividends for 34 years. Macawmic is a good brand that goes well with me, and has repeatedly sold and buys several times, but each time has great profits. ⑥ Home Depot (HD) Home Depot is the world's largest home improvement center. Over 2,200 large stores are available in the United States. When Amazon.com has entered, there are many industries and markets that are hit by the so -called "Amazon Effect", but home centers are one of the most difficult industries. Not only selling products, but also the provision of know -how is a great attraction for users, such as staff with expertise, responding to DIY consultation. Home Depot has a strength that boasts one million items online. Since the spread of the new Corona, DIY demand has increased in the United States, and the unit price of customers has increased. Recently, not only DIY but also outdoor equipment and horticultural supplies have been increasing.
