Stocks to Own – and Robophobia

I have been accused of having Robophobia:

Robophobia, robotaphobia (from Czech word robota, meaning “drudgery”) is the fear of robots, drones, robot-like mechanics or artificial intelligence. It frequently results in a panic attack and can be triggered by viewing a robot, being near a robot, or even just talking about robots.

Laugh if you want – but I find it hard not to worry when I read headlines like these:

• The Guardian – Almost 250,000 public sector workers could lose their jobs to robots in the next 15 years
• The New York Post – Inside robot-run supermarket…

O.K., enough with the Robophobia – let’s talk about stocks.

Even with Fridays pop – I am still maintaining my watchlist – here are the three stocks that continue to pass the “stocks to own” screen:
