Forever Stocks - or at least 20 yrs?

[FinanceDude]

STJ (St Jude Medical)

Bought in 1985. Have sold half my holdings. Price is now 148x original purchase price.

Still a great stock, I buy it for clients in my model portfolios............

Thank you everyone!

Plan to go shopping - October is my 'buy Norwegian month' - regardless of what that silly MR Market does - 7 to 10 yrs from now - hopefully it will not matter that much.

Turn off football and pick some stocks - tough job sometimes!

heh heh heh -

I've had HCP since the late 80's and it has been consistently good to us, both dividend wise and capital gain wise.

Berkshire BRKA/B, Intel INTC, Realty Income O , and Compass Material, CMP. The last two a commercial real estate REIT, and the biggest salt mining company, have multi decade history of raising dividends. I have been a happy owner of CAT (a tripling of the dividend and more for the stock prices) for almost a decade, but I may sell it next year, but I hope the option expires worthless again.

Here is my list
PEP, PFE, RPM,INTC and AFL

I have just add JNJ,WRE, KIM and GGP.

Most are in Drips or have been moved to brokerage account.

Dang, I must be channeling Uncle Mick. One of my forevers just got bought out: CGI for $36.70 cash. Never thought they would sell , although it makes sense for both them and the buyer.
