Despite the fact that Warren Buffett is one of its biggest proponents, buy-and-hold investing gets a bad rap among many investors. That's not surprising in a society that is consumed by short-term thinking. Investors should always be on the lookout for breakout opportunities. But what many successful long-term investors know is that time in the market beats trying to time the market.
However, you have to own the right stocks. One myth of long-term investing is that “safe stocks" won't outperform the market. That couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, there are many blue-chip stocks that have an established history of beating the S&P 500 and pay a great dividend that increases your total return.
The focus of this special presentation is long-term stocks that are likely to beat the S&P 500 for years in the future. These are household names that many institutional investors own - and with good reason. Owning these stocks can help you sleep well at night while never having to worry about your investments losing value over time.
