Motley Fool Co-Founder David Gardner's Top 10 Stock Picks, One Is Up 138,000% | Stock Club 325

Author: MyWallSt August 20, 2026 Duration: 50:53

Ahead of Investicon, we run through Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner's ten greatest stock recommendations of all time, a league table that includes Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), his best call by the widest margin. We dig into why he picked each of these growth stocks, what the market looked like at the time, and how a philosophy built for the long term turned early conviction into some of the best investment returns in stock picking history.From backing Nvidia in 2004 on a thesis about graphics demand long before anyone was talking about artificial intelligence, to spotting Booking.com's turnaround story when it was still known as Priceline, we break down the recipe behind these picks and what today's investors can actually learn and apply to finding the best stocks to buy now. We also cover why staying invested through years of drawdowns, rather than selling, was just as important to these results as the original stock picks themselves.Investicon is happening Thursday August 27th in Dublin, featuring David Gardner live alongside Bill Mann, Pieter Slegers of Compounding Quality and Eric Bleeker.
