3 Stocks I Want to Own for the Rest of My Life
Many successful investors will tell you that their biggest mistake involved selling a great company too soon. Indeed, no less of an investor than Warren Buffett has said that his favorite holding period is "forever". That showcases the incredible potential that long-term investors might find if they manage to simply hold on to the incredibly strong businesses that they already own.
Still, it can be tough to find companies that really seem worthy of holding onto for decades to come. With that in mind, three Motley Fool contributors searched their own investments for ones that seem like they could very well be among that elite cadre of investment. They picked MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), and Enbridge (NYSE: ENB). Read on to find out why, then decide for yourself if one or more of them deserves a place in your portfolio for the long haul.
