Got $5,000? 3 Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next 20 Years

Considering that the stock market just had its worst beginning to the year of the past 50 years, it may seem counterintuitive to be thinking about buying stocks right now. But rough market patches are actually a great time to be looking to buy shares of amazing companies that could turn out to be fantastic investments over long time horizons, like the next 20 years.

With each stock trading around $100 per share, you could end up with roughly 16 shares of each.
