2 Top Midwest Stocks to Consider Buying
If you start your day eating a bowl of cereal with milk and then drive your car to work or elsewhere, you owe a lot to the U.S. Midwest. Indeed, farmers in the middle part of the country supply much of the grain and dairy products we consume. And the world's modern auto industry began in Detroit, when a light bulb went off inside Michiganite Henry Ford's head and he began using an assembly line to churn out Model Ts.
On that note, where would any of us be without the indispensable light bulb, which was invented by Ohio native Thomas Edison? And if there were no Midwest, there would be no Mickey Mouse or other Disney products (founder Walt Disney was born in Chicago and raised in Missouri), no aviation-pioneering Wright brothers (Ohio), and -- I'll bet this is a new one for you -- no screen door inventor Hanna Harger (Iowa).
In short, an outsize proportion of products that we eat, use every day, and have depended upon for generations have roots in our country's Heartland, which seems to have long had an inventiveness compound in its drinking water. So doesn't it make sense to go fishing for top stocks in this region?
