2 Hot Stocks to Buy and Hold Until You Retire
The value of long-term investing became quite evident over the past 12 months, with the stock market in bear market territory for most of that time. Those investing for the long term have the ability to ride out dips like this and benefit from the fact that bull markets typically last longer than bear markets.
There are two stocks in particular that offer solid proof of this thesis over the past 10 years -- Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI). Let's take a closer look at why these two hot stocks remain great buy-and-hold candidates that you'll want to keep positions in until you retire.
This has been a brutal stock market -- the worst since the Great Recession in 2007-09. But even in this market, both Mastercard and S&P Global have generated stellar long-term returns.
