If you have to get married to companies, these are some of your best bets
In a market environment that overwhelmingly encourages
constant activity by investors who seemingly want to double their money every
week, a discussion of stocks to buy and hold forever seems comically out of
place.
And yet, for better or worse, that’s the mindset all of us
should adopt for most of our investing capital. More often than not, the more
you trade, the worse you end up doing. It has been said (and verified) that 95%
of true “day traders” — the most aggressive and active of all market
participants — end up losing money by being too active for their own good.
Conversely, the fact that Warren Buffett’s favorite holding period is “forever”
and how he’s got a track record most investors would envy is just as telling.
With that as the backdrop, here’s a rundown of 10 stocks to
buy and hold forever … or at least until something significant changes with
your life plans or the companies themselves.
