in today's video I'm going over the five stocks that you should buy and hold
forever because there's a lot of companies out there that are really good
that you could buy into now or tomorrow and then you can hold them
forever and they're potentially gonna have a lot of gains in the future now
obviously I can't predict the future, so you guys are gonna have to make your own
call on whether or not you want to buy into these different companies obviously
do your own research and remember that I myself I'm not an expert so take this
advice for entertainment purposes only because I'm just some guy in the
internet but hopefully you guys can learn something new from this video so
now let's start talking about the five stocks to buy and hold forever so the
first company that made my list goes to Microsoft and their ticker symbol is
MSFT and the reason that I really like them is because they're not just a
computer manufacturer they actually make all the software inside all of the PCs
and PCs are everywhere these are personal computers and they are in
hospitals schools office buildings and obviously inside of our homes colleges
everywhere and this is a big deal because they are all across the entire
world and I don't think Microsoft's going anywhere they're also now in the
cloud product so they have cloud storage as well as their software like Microsoft
Word and office and all that those are cloud based now so Microsoft they are
not going anywhere and I am really proud to say that I would invest in them and
hold them forever right now Microsoft shares are trading for about a hundred
and seventy two bucks a piece and that is really good considering the entire
stock market just took a huge crash and honestly the last time Microsoft was
that 172 was only back in January and right now we're in April so really were
not that far behind to getting back on track and that is a really good sign
Microsoft has been through a lot of ups and through a lot of downs so I'm not
really concerned about where they're going cuz I know they're gonna head in
the right direction and they're always gonna be around and then keep in mind
that Microsoft is a tech company that's also considered a growth stock but the
cool thing about them is that they've actually paid out a dividend since 2003
and right now it's at 1.2 3% which is really good for a growth stock their
current p/e ratio is coming in right now at 29 which could indicate that the
stock price is a little bit overvalued but honestly as far as the tech industry
goes it is fairly on are considering Apple is at 21 right now
as a p/e ratio so 29 really isn't that far behind now one of the biggest
reasons why I'm not concerned about their p/e ratio is because if you
actually look at the results of how they've done the last five years they
are doing very well they've actually increased over 300% in just five years
and that is very very good because if you can even double your money meaning a
hundred percent in just seven years that's excellent
so when you're talking 300% in five years that is beyond good and this is
definitely a good company that's growing very quickly so when it comes to
Microsoft I feel like it's definitely a good company to invest in and hold
forever now the question is should you be buying in right now that's something
that you're gonna have to ask yourself and do your own research on but if
they're just going to keep growing obviously now is a good time to get in
or you can wait for another dip and then get in then now the next company that
made my list goes to Disney and they're ticker symbol is DIS and I realize that
they are an entertainment company but I don't think they're going anywhere
because Disney is in everybody's homes and they are very well diversified and I
really don't feel like they have a lot of competition inside of their main hub
because you've got all of their theme parks you've got all of their movies and
entertainment and then they also own radio stations different TV stations all
sorts of things like that and then on top of that you've got all the licensing
for all of the different characters and things that they have so they are very
well diversified and I feel like they are not getting hit when it comes to the
big problems that other entertainment companies can run into they also started
recently competing with Netflix because they've got a streaming service called
Disney Plus and then on top of that they've also got hotels and cruise lines
that a lot of us don't really think of and I do understand that those are being
affected right now but I don't think in the future that's gonna make much of a
difference for Disney because they are going to be stable and they're always
going to be a good company to buy in and hold forever right now shares of Disney
are trading for about a hundred and three bucks apiece and the last time
they were that amount was late in 2018 so obviously we've lost a lot of gains
in just a couple years and I don't know if it's going to get worse or if it's
going to start getting better but I do know in the future I have confidence
in them as a company that they are gonna be growing Disney's also paid out a
dividend that goes all the way back to 1962 and they have been fairly
consistent up until the late 90s when they did pull back a little bit on their
dividend amounts but overall I feel like their dividend has been pretty stable
and I feel like they are gonna continue that in the future their current
dividend yield is currently 1.7 percent which really isn't that great and it's
not really that bad it's just kind of in the middle but it is something good to
have especially when you're gonna be holding them for a really long time
their p/e ratio is actually looking really good it's almost at 17 and I feel
like that's a very healthy p/e ratio for the entertainment industry but when you
look at their 5 year track record they're actually not doing that well and
it's not very exciting it's at negative 3 percent right now but I do have hope
for them in the future so right now is probably a good time to get into them
but obviously you're gonna have to do your own hard research before you make
that decision and obviously when you compare a 3% loss to a 300% gain when
you're talking about Microsoft Microsoft obviously looks a lot better but just
keep in mind we're only looking at a 5-year track record here and a lot can
change in the future and there's been a lot of factors in the past that have
made a big differences as well and really quick if you guys are enjoying
this video can you please just give it a big thumbs up because I would really
appreciate that and it'll help the video spread out to more people so thank you
very much I really do appreciate it now the next company on my list goes to
Visa and they're ticker symbol is V on the stock exchange and what I really
like about them they're obviously a credit card company so they're in the
financial sector but what I really like about Visa is that they are the most
diversified out of all the different credit cards because they're the most
widely accepted so throughout the world if you're gonna use your credit card
visa is the most widely accepted obviously mastercard and discover also
very well known Amex is a little bit lower on that list and they're all
really good companies to invest with but Visa I feel is the most diversified
now obviously credit cards can make a lot of money from the interest that they
charge their customers but what a lot of us don't realize is that every single
time you swipe your credit card the merchant actually has to pay a fee of
about one to three percent and a large portion of that percentage actually goes
to that cred card company so when you're talking
about microtransactions billions of those are happening every single day and
so those credit card companies they're gonna be turning a lot of profit and I
don't think that's going anywhere in the future so definitely investing in a
credit card company I think is a good idea to buy and hold forever shares of
visa are currently trading for about a hundred and sixty-six bucks a piece and
the last time they were that amount was in June of 2019 so we're really not that
far behind from getting back on track according to the entire stock market
taking a huge crash lately so this is really good and I think they're just
going to be doing better in the future visas also paid out a dividend since
2008 so it really hasn't been around that long and the yield is only 0.71%
right now but it is something so at least they do have a dividend their p/e
ratio right now is coming in at 32 which is a little bit high but I'm not too
concerned about that because of the games that they've been having over the
last five years because when you really look at American Express you're gonna
see that their p/e ratio right now is coming in at a 12 but if you look at
their five-year track record they've only gained fourteen percent and then
when you look at visa you're looking at over a hundred and fifty percent so
we're doing a lot better on visas and over the last five years as far as
actual returns on your investment and that's really what we want to be looking
at so obviously visas had some very good
returns over the last five years and that doesn't necessarily predict what
they're gonna do in the future but I do have a lot of confidence in them and I
would say that they're for sure a good company to buy now and hold forever and
keep in mind that prices are always changing every day on the stock market
so whether you're talking about the p/e ratio the price per share or even the
dividend yield those are always gonna change every single day so when you
watch this video a lot of these numbers can fluctuate quite a bit but just keep
in mind that as long as you look at the averages those are gonna give you a much
better ballpark figure of how things are really going and that's what I want you
to focus in on are the averages and not just what's happening day-to-day next on
my list goes to Johnson & Johnson and they're ticker symbol is J&J on the
stock exchange now they are a very big deal because every time you shop at the
grocery store you're buying their products so whether you were talking
Tylenol band-aid a bunch of different baby products Johnson and Johnson owned
those brands and so you are supporting that company now there's really not much
competition in the grocery store because you're really just looking at a few
different big companies that own all of the different brands that you're buying
and the cool thing here is that they are pretty much recession proof because
we're always going to have to buy groceries we're gonna have to buy
household supplies everything like that is always going to have to happen even
during a recession and so owning into one of these companies is a really good
idea and I'm supporting Johnson & Johnson for one of these companies that
we want to support invest in right now and hold them forever their shares are
currently trading at about a hundred and forty seven bucks apiece and that's
actually really good because they got out of the dip very fast so now we're
just about back to normal and it didn't take very long to get there so honestly
I think we're on track to get things back to normal
they've also consistently paid out a dividend since nineteen sixty two and
right now the dividend yield is coming in at two point seven two percent so
that is really good as far as a dividend is concerned and they've been around for
a really long time and then on top of that their current p/e ratio is coming
in at twenty five right now which is a little bit high but it's not bad
considering their biggest competitor Procter and Gamble their current p/e
ratios coming in at sixty eight right now so when you compare twenty five to
sixty eight that's a lot better and so Johnson & Johnson is looking better just
from that data alone now as far as their five year track record goes it is
looking okay right now we're looking at about thirty nine percent in gains over
the last five years and Procter & Gamble is looking about the same so honestly
forty percent over five years that's not bad but I do have hope that they are
going to compete in the future and they're always going to be growing and
that's what we want to look for we want to look for a company that we can invest
in right now and hold forever because we're not looking at the short term
which honestly five years could be considered short term especially when
you're looking so far into the future now last time I list goes to Amazon and
their ticker symbol is AMZN on the stock exchange and they are a big company when
it comes to online retail and also web services that a lot of people don't talk
about so they are very well diversified they've even got a bunch of different
companies that they've acquired they own audible they own Whole Foods this is a
very big company I don't think they're going anywhere and
that's why I think it's a good idea to invest in them and hold them forever
right now shares of Amazon are trading for over $2,300 a piece so obviously if
you want to get into them you are gonna have to have quite a bit of cash but
just keep in mind that they have also made it through this entire dip in fact
they're higher than they've ever been right now and that is really incredible
considering the rest of the stock market is really down and Amazon is higher than
they've ever been but they are 2,300 bucks apiece they currently don't pay
out a dividend but that's not really a big deal because when you look at the
big picture and you see all the returns that Amazon's had over the last 5-10
years they are a very good growth company and they just keep growing and
growing so even if you're not getting a dividend you're obviously making that
back in the returns that they've been giving all of their investors the
current p/e ratio is currently at a 94 so a lot of you guys might say that's
extremely high but then again when you look at their returns over the last five
years they've had over 500 percent and this is a big deal you're talking five
times your money in only five years and that's what Amazon's been doing and
that's what's on the track record so if you want to invest in a company that's
gonna see a lot of growth in the next ten to twenty years then definitely keep
your eye on Amazon because they are not going anywhere and they just keep
getting bigger and bigger so definitely keep an eye on them now if you just
