This question is hypothetical, so there is no right or wrong answer. The interviewer would like to know more about the type of stocks you follow and, more importantly, how you would present them to a client. Think of a stock you are diligently following and make a compelling argument as to why the interviewer should invest!

"I am always in tune with the 'best of' and 'must-watch' stock lists. Most recently, Canopy Growth, the world's largest cannabis producer, has caught my eye. As cannabis becomes legalized in many areas of the world and is used medically more often, the company is expanding to Germany, Spain, Denmark, and Australia. Canopy Growth is in partnership with an alcoholic beverage company, which ups the ante. This partnership gives them a significant advantage when cannabis-based beer and other alcoholic beverages become mainstream."

"I am interested in medical and pharma, and I believe looking into Gilead would be very lucrative. The drugmaker helped turn HIV from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic ailment and developed a cure for Hepatitis C. They have become a 100B company along the way, and there is a lot of buzz surrounding a change in leadership, which is sure to produce even bigger results in the years to come."

This question is more about your professional advice than what stocks are trending. Warren Buffett once said, "If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes." So when discussing your long-term views on stocks worth watching, and your approach to wealth management, back it up with data and your industry knowledge. Demonstrate that you are a valuable resource and take advantage of this opportunity to advertise your professional worth. If you can generate some conversation or talk shop with your interviewer, you'll be able to make yourself a more memorable candidate.
