3 Dividend Aristocrats to Buy and Hold Forever
How long do you think the average stock gets held? Not very long, it turns out.
Reuters calculated in June 2020 that the average holding period for a stock on the New York Stock Exchange at that point was less than six months, a figure the news service's analysis says has been falling for years.
That's a far cry from the "our favorite holding period is forever" philosophy that Warren Buffett has followed on the way to amassing one of history's largest fortunes. Doing that can be tough, of course, since a lot of investing is emotional, and it's tough to see a holding plunge, even when you know it's a good company with solid prospects.
