2 Stocks I'm Never Selling
Forever is a long time, but some stocks have earned that kind of dedication from investors. In my portfolio, Realty Income (NYSE: O) and Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) stand out as stocks I plan to pass on to my heirs. If you are a dividend-focused investor, here's why you might put them in the "forever hold" category, too.
Realty Income is a net lease real estate investment trust (REIT). That means it owns single-tenant properties in which its lessees are responsible for most of an asset's operating costs. Across a large portfolio it's a pretty low-risk investment approach. Realty Income is one of the largest net lease landlords, with over 11,000 properties in its portfolio.
It is heavily focused on retail assets (78% of rent), where properties are generic and relatively easy to re-tenant or sell. The rest of rent comes largely from industrial assets, while about 10% of the total rent pie comes from Europe. Both add a little diversification to the mix.
