"The Stock Tip" is the fifth and final episode of the first season of the American television sitcom Seinfeld. It first aired on NBC in the United States on June 21, 1990. In the episode, George Costanza (Jason Alexander) tells Jerry Seinfeld and Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) that a friend of a friend of his has given him a stock tip, and he encourages them to invest with him. Jerry does so, but as soon as he does, the value of his stock falls. At the same time, Jerry takes his girlfriend on a trip to Vermont, which does not go as planned.
The episode was written by series creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, and was directed by Tom Cherones. When it aired, it received enough ratings and praise for NBC to commission a second season.
