There is an interesting retail investment firm called Motif Investing that allows one to buy (or build) a "motif" of up to 30 stocks/ETFs based upon a theme. Examples include motifs based on "Too Big To Fail," "3D Printing," "Democratic Donors," "Republican Donors," "Seven Deadly Sins," and so forth. It occurred to me that perhaps we could suggest a motif based upon Galt principles. What stocks, if any, would you suggest?

    I would suggest adding WYNN. Steve Wynn, although a Dem, has skewered the Ovomit administration over its inane policies.

    I used to shop there back when it was still called Fresh Fields. There are none near me here, which is a bummer. They have the best cheeses, and their breads! Yum!

    But seriously, this is a very interesting idea. Time to do a little diligence...

    this is a mexican company, which sells commercial goods and now a bank. The owner started the financial side with the intention of encouraging mexican citizens to buy and hold silver instead of relying on their currency

    Except for the fact that Dread King Soros is a major share holder.

    In fact, I call the place "Home Soros".

    Whole Foods for sure. The CEO, John Mackey is a Randian. From what I understand, Whole Foods is modelled on being the Grocery Store of the Gulch.

    Maybe Home Depot to get us started. Saw an interview with one of the co-founders on Cavuto's show, and he "get's it."
