The best investors aren't necessarily hedge fund managers or Wall Street analysts who are paid seven figures to find the best investments. In fact, disinterested teens can actually be the smartest investor — even if they don't realize it themselves, CNBC's Jim Cramer argued.
Teenagers are "incorrigible," and the last thing on their mind is stock picking, Cramer said during his daily "Mad Money" show on Tuesday. Thankfully, investors don't need to ask teenagers for stock picks, they just have to listen to what brands and companies they follow.
"My kids are kids," Cramer said. "And they would rather be caught dead than have a non-Apple Inc. AAPL brand. When the new computers come out, they check the resolution and if improves the performance of Netflix, Inc. NFLX, then they want them."
In fact, part of Cramer's bullish thesis on Apple is based on his own kids who pay extra money to have their photos stored on Apple's system and wanted to buy a new iPhone and not because the old wasn't working or lost. Rather, Cramer's kids wanted a new iPod in a different color because the device doubles as a fashion accessory.
Another example of fantastic stock picking ideas Cramer attributed to teenagers is Domino's Pizza, Inc. DPZ. The pizza chain company has won over the younger crowd through an excellent ordering system integrated in the app.
As such, Domino's shouldn't be viewed as a pizza company as it is a "tech company that sells pizza."
Year to date, shares of Domino's are up over 33 percent, and Apple shares are up over 24 percent.
