Investing in most individual stocks is a bad idea. There are only two stocks that I would buy and hold for the long run, MCD, and Teva, I mean ten years or more. These two stocks, although would go down in a stock market meltdown, they are sure to come back when the stock market bounces back. These two companies are cash rich in good times and bad.
As for better performing mutual funds with Morningstar five star rating, and have been around
longer than most investors have been alive, I recommend Fidelity contra, and vanguard fortune 500 fund. They both hold over 50 billion dollars in assets and always come back after a stock market meltdown. Warren Buffetts, Berkshire Hathaway has been a winner for decades. The problem I have with Berkshire Hathaway, is that Warren Buffett probably won't be at the helm in ten years, and will his replacement be as good?
My next blog will tell you what not to buy in the stock market.
