2 Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever
One of the most difficult things in investing is holding an investment for the long term. Buying is arguably quite easy, but holding tenaciously requires a whole different skill set.
This is likely due to several reasons. First, only a high-quality company's shares could and should be held for the long term. So this largely eliminates companies with a highly uncertain long-term future. Second, holding a stock for the long term requires a surprising amount of effort.
Indeed, holding a stock requires a new decision every day -- the decision not to sell. This daily decision is made even as negative economic, industry, and company-specific headlines arise from time to time.
