Want to Beat the Dow? Buy and Hold This Growth Stock
As an investor, there's absolutely nothing wrong with plugging into a basket of blue chip stocks and leaving it alone for a few years. In fact, that's probably the best plan for most investors. It's the effort to out-trade the market that often leads people to underperform it, after all.
If you just gotta take your shot at beating a benchmark like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, though -- and you have the patience to leave a stock alone even when holding it feels a little uncomfortable -- your best bet might well be to buy the stock of credit card company Visa (NYSE: V).
Seriously.
