Top 8 "Buy And Hold" Stocks To Own For Life - YouTube
Channel: unknown
[0]
- How's it going today, guys?
[1]
Welcome back to the channel.
[2]
So, in this video today,
[4]
we're gonna be talking about
[5]
the top eight buy and hold forever stocks,
[9]
AKA eight stocks that you
could consider investing in
[14]
for the rest of your life.
[16]
Now, real quick here, guys,
[17]
I do have to make a disclaimer
[19]
that I am not a financial advisor
[21]
and this is not any sort
of financial advice,
[24]
and you should always do
your own due diligence
[26]
and research above and beyond this video
[30]
before making any investment decisions.
[32]
Also, guys, I've been getting a ton
[34]
of spam and scam comments down below.
[37]
So, just be careful if
you are communicating
[39]
with anyone down there,
[41]
don't give out any of
your personal information.
[43]
And if you are communicating with me,
[46]
make sure there is that white
check mark next to my name.
[50]
Otherwise, that is, in fact, a scammer
[52]
and they're probably
looking to take your money
[54]
or something like that.
[56]
So, coming in at number
one on the list here
[58]
is probably the most popular
[61]
buy and hold investment out there,
[64]
and this is the Vanguard
500 Index Fund ETF
[68]
trading under the symbol VOO.
[71]
So, this is basically a basket
[74]
of the 500 largest
publicly-traded U.S. companies
[79]
giving you built-in diversification
[82]
if you choose to buy into this ETF.
[85]
So, just to cover some quick
information on them here,
[88]
this fund has an astounding $268 billion
[93]
in assets under management
[95]
and they currently have 511
different individual holdings.
[100]
Now, one thing you're gonna
wanna pay attention to
[102]
when you're looking at an
ETF is that expense ratio.
[106]
Now, Vanguard has some
of the lowest expenses
[109]
in the industry.
[110]
So, coming in at an expense
ratio of 0.03% is very low.
[116]
You also wanna check
out the tracking error,
[119]
which is gonna show you
how closely the fund
[121]
tracks an underlying index.
[123]
This is coming in at a .01,
[125]
so it's following it very closely.
[128]
This benchmark index is,
of course, the S&P 500
[132]
or the 500 largest publicly-traded
companies in the U.S.
[138]
Now, investing in VOO
gives you a little piece
[141]
of all of these different companies.
[143]
For example, the top 10
out of those 511 holdings,
[148]
which makes up almost 30% of the fund.
[151]
So, basically, if you buy
VOO, about 30% of your money
[155]
goes into these 10 companies right here.
[158]
This includes names, like: Tesla; Apple;
[162]
Berkshire Hathaway; Facebook;
[164]
Alphabet, AKA GOOGL,
[166]
NVIDIA;
[167]
Microsoft;
[167]
Amazon; and JPMorgan.
[170]
So, this particular investment
[171]
is best for long-term investors
looking for passive gains
[176]
that will match the market.
[178]
And honestly, guys, you
could park your money in VOO
[181]
for the next 50 years,
[183]
and most likely not run into any trouble
[186]
because you're basically betting
[188]
on the U.S. economy as a whole
[191]
in terms of the 500 largest
publicly-traded companies.
[195]
And here we have the
five-year performance of VOO.
[199]
Obviously, we had a sell
off there after 2020
[202]
during the pandemic.
[203]
But ever since then, it's
been a pretty solid uptrend
[206]
and hopefully, we will see
things continue thereafter,
[210]
but even if you do own
any of these stocks,
[212]
if you're focused on a
super long-term investment,
[216]
you have to know
[217]
that there is going to be boom
and bust cycles in the market
[220]
and be prepared to either
hold your investments
[224]
during those downturns
[225]
or even potentially
buy more at a discount.
[228]
So, coming in at number two on my list
[231]
is a stock that I owned previously,
[233]
and this is Coca-Cola
trading under the symbol KO.
[237]
So, this company was founded back in 1892.
[241]
They have a market cap of $245 billion.
[245]
They are a dividend aristocrat,
[247]
which means they have been growing
[249]
and paying that quarterly
dividend every single year
[253]
for over 25 years, which
is very impressive.
[257]
They have a 59-year growth streak
[260]
in terms of how many
years they've been growing
[263]
that dividend consecutively.
[265]
And they are currently paying
an attractive yield of 2.96%.
[270]
Now, Coca-Cola is good
for long-term investors
[274]
looking for strong dividends
and steady appreciation.
[278]
You're not gonna see any
crazy growth out of Coca-Cola,
[281]
but it is going to be a very steady
[283]
and consistent investment.
[285]
Coming in at number three on the list here
[287]
is Johnson & Johnson trading
under the symbol JNJ.
[291]
This is another very, very old
company founded back in 1886
[296]
with a current market cap of $429 billion.
[301]
This is, in fact, another
dividend aristocrat.
[305]
They have also been increasing
their quarterly dividends
[308]
every single year for 59 years.
[311]
And the dividend yield
here is sitting at 2.52%.
[316]
Now, Johnson & Johnson is a solid pick
[318]
for those looking for strong
dividends and low volatility.
[322]
Also, I believe Johnson & Johnson
[325]
is one of only two companies
[327]
with the highest possible
credit score rating
[330]
from Moody's or Standard & Poor's,
[333]
and I believe the only
other company on that list
[335]
is Microsoft.
[336]
So, they are looked at
[338]
as one of the best
stewards of their debts.
[341]
Definitely something to consider
[342]
as a Johnson & Johnson investor.
[345]
Number four on the list
[346]
is another company that
I owned at one point.
[348]
I also used to own some Johnson & Johnson,
[351]
and I probably will own
[352]
a lot of these in the future as well.
[355]
But 3M is the Minnesota Mining
and Manufacturing Company,
[359]
something along those lines.
[361]
Very, very old company
founded back in 1902
[365]
with a market cap of $104 billion.
[369]
This is another dividend aristocrat,
[371]
which has been growing their
dividend every single year
[374]
for 60 years now.
[376]
And they have a dividend
yield sitting at 3.24%.
[381]
Now, 3M is basically considered
to be a conglomerate,
[384]
which is a bunch of small companies
[387]
or brands under one name.
[389]
They make things like scotch tape,
[391]
they make a lot of medical supplies,
[393]
they make automotive chemicals,
[395]
all kinds of different stuff and products.
[398]
So, they are very well-diversified
[400]
in the consumer products division,
[402]
and also B2B, and sort
of all over the place.
[406]
Now, some of the
industries that they serve
[408]
are cyclical in nature.
[410]
So, you can see some ups and
downs with that share price
[413]
and over the last five years,
[415]
it hasn't really done too much,
[417]
but they do have an attractive
dividend yield above 3%.
[421]
Number five on the list
[422]
is another company that I like as well
[425]
that I've also owned in the past,
[426]
and that is Procter & Gamble
trading under the symbol PG.
[431]
Now, this right here is the oldest company
[433]
that we've talked about so
far, founded back in 1837.
[437]
Pretty incredible, I must say.
[439]
And they have a current market
cap sitting at $355 billion.
[445]
They're also a dividend aristocrat,
[448]
and they've been increasing
that quarterly dividend
[450]
every single year for 50 years.
[453]
That's longer than probably
most of us watching this video
[456]
have even been alive.
[459]
Currently, the dividend
yield is sitting at 2.32%
[463]
and Procter & Gamble is a solid choice
[465]
for long-term investors
looking for strong dividends
[469]
and also looking to add
consumer product goods staples
[473]
to their portfolio.
[475]
The other thing I like
about Procter & Gamble
[477]
is they are able to very
easily increase their prices.
[482]
I know they did come out
[483]
and say they are expecting
to increase prices
[485]
across a lot of different
categories due to inflation,
[489]
but they have this massive
portfolio of brands.
[493]
And they're basically, you know,
[494]
a lot of personal care
and hygiene products,
[496]
things like that,
[497]
that many of us are
using every single day.
[500]
I would encourage you
[501]
to basically look at the back of
[503]
a lot of these different cleaners
[505]
or shampoos that you're using
[507]
and you'd be surprised
just how many of them
[510]
are a Procter & Gamble product.
[512]
So, coming in at number six here, guys,
[514]
is more of an asset appreciation approach
[517]
rather than a dividend approach.
[518]
And that is the company Apple
trading under the symbol AAPL.
[523]
Again, this is another company I've owned
[526]
many, many times in the past
[527]
that I probably will buy
shares again in the future.
[530]
So, Apple was founded in 1976
[534]
and they currently have
a market capitalization
[537]
of $2.43 trillion.
[540]
Now, despite being a
high-growth investment,
[543]
they do also pay a nominal dividend here,
[546]
which has currently coming
out to be a yield of .57%.
[552]
And they have been
increasing that dividend
[554]
every single year for
the last seven years.
[557]
So, by no means is this considered
[559]
to be really an income investment.
[561]
It's really still considered
to be a growth play,
[564]
but having that dividend is
also a unique offering here.
[568]
That way, you can get
paid in two different ways
[572]
while investing heavily in technology.
[575]
So, this investment is good
for long-term investors,
[578]
especially growth investors
[580]
who are more focused on asset appreciation
[583]
or increasing in share price,
[585]
not so much earning
dividends for cash flow.
[588]
But they do pay a dividend nonetheless
[591]
so it sort of does, in a sense,
[593]
give you the best of both worlds.
[595]
Coming in at number seven
here is another company
[597]
that I think we are all familiar with.
[599]
And it's another company
that is really a solid choice
[603]
for a lifelong investment, in my opinion.
[606]
And that is none other than Google.
[609]
This company here, pretty wild.
[611]
Founded in 1998, they're
now one of the world's
[615]
most valuable companies
[617]
sitting at a market cap of $1.96 trillion.
[621]
Now, unlike Apple, Google
does not pay any dividends.
[625]
They're solely focused
on growing the company,
[628]
growing revenue, and
increasing the market valuation
[633]
and thus, the share prices of Google
[636]
for both their Class A
and their Class C shares.
[639]
Now, that is one nuance here with Google
[641]
is that if you are investing in them,
[643]
they do have a GOOG versus GOOGL.
[647]
They trade at different prices.
[649]
One of those shares has voting
rights, the other does not.
[652]
So, that's something that
you do want to consider
[654]
if you are investing in shares of Google.
[658]
Obviously, you know,
[659]
there's not really much that
has to be said about why Google
[663]
is considered to be a
good lifelong investment.
[665]
They've become so intertwined
with our daily lives
[669]
and so many of us are using
their services every single day.
[673]
My entire business revolves around Google
[676]
in terms of my YouTube channel
[678]
or the different blogs that I operate
[680]
that are really capitalizing
on Google search traffic.
[684]
So, Google, honestly,
[686]
a solid play for the long-term
[688]
for betting on the future
of this digital economy.
[693]
So, Google is best for long-term investors
[695]
looking to gain access
to tech and innovation.
[698]
Obviously, they're only offering
you to basically earn money
[702]
through asset appreciation,
[704]
not currently paying a
dividend at this point in time.
[708]
And then lastly on the list here,
[710]
we have Walmart trading
under the symbol WMT.
[713]
This is another company that
I have owned in the past.
[717]
Walmart was founded in 1962
[720]
and they now have a market
cap of $413 billion.
[725]
And Walmart is another dividend aristocrat
[729]
where they have been increasing
that quarterly dividend
[732]
every single year for the last 48 years.
[735]
Now, Walmart is an interesting stock here
[738]
because it's almost an
even mix of potential
[741]
to earn money from asset appreciation
[743]
or that share price going up
[745]
or to earn money from that dividend.
[748]
So right now, the dividend
yield is sitting at 1.48%,
[752]
which is obviously not too, too high,
[754]
but it is better than
something like Apple,
[757]
which was paying half a
percent as a dividend yield.
[761]
So, it's enough to actually be meaningful,
[763]
especially if you're gonna be reinvesting.
[765]
So, Walmart really gives you
the best of both worlds here
[768]
in terms of being able to make money
[770]
from quarterly dividends,
[772]
as well as the natural
appreciation of that share price.
[776]
Also, I just wanted to point out here,
[778]
if you looked at the share price here
[780]
in the chart for Walmart,
[781]
you would probably have not even known
[783]
that there was a global pandemic in 2020.
[787]
I don't even think they
broke this trend line here,
[789]
which is really insane.
[791]
So, this stock's been on a
terror for years here, guys,
[794]
from 60 bucks a share up to 148.
[797]
Many of us aren't the biggest
fan of Walmart, overall.
[800]
I know, I'm certainly not
the best, biggest fan of them
[803]
in terms of a lot of their employees
[806]
are on government subsidies,
[807]
but nonetheless,
[809]
it is a really solid investment here
[811]
in a place that a lot of people shop.
[813]
Not to mention, they also
tend to do really well
[816]
during a recession
[817]
because when people
have to be more careful
[819]
with how much money they are spending,
[822]
they're gonna have to
shop at discount stores
[824]
such as Walmart.
[826]
Now, the last thing I wanna
cover is where to buy stocks
[829]
if you're looking to
invest for the long-term.
[832]
And my recommendation is, of course,
[834]
going to be M1 Finance,
[836]
which is the main brokerage
that I use myself.
[840]
Through their investing side,
[842]
they offer no commission trading,
[844]
fractional shares, dividend reinvestment,
[847]
automated rebalancing, and so much more
[850]
with a minimum investment of just $100
[853]
or 500 bucks for retirement accounts.
[856]
And also, they do have M1 Borrow,
[858]
which is a flexible
portfolio line of credit.
[861]
And then in addition,
[862]
they do have the M1 Spend
debit and credit cards,
[866]
which allow you to earn
cashback in the process.
[869]
I mostly use them for the
investing side of things
[872]
and the borrow, but they
really are a solid choice
[875]
for a long-term investment portfolio.
[878]
They're also doing a promotion
[880]
until the end of the year here, guys,
[881]
if you're looking to get some
extra bang for your buck.
[885]
All you have to do is deposit
[887]
the amount of money here on the right
[889]
or transfer in an equal
value brokerage account
[892]
and you can get a bonus of up to $500.
[896]
So, if you guys wanna check that out,
[898]
there's going to be an
affiliate link for M1 Finance
[901]

[903]
And I also have a completely free
