7 Stocks to Buy Now for the Next 30 Years

My Investing Recommendations 📈

I’m going to reveal seven stocks to buy now and hold forever. I’ll show you three growth stocks that could be the next Microsoft, Apple or Amazon for that 200X return along with three stocks that will never let you down! Stick around and I’ll finish it up with my favorite buy-and-hold ETF for long-term dividends!

I'm using different criteria for each group of these stocks to buy and hold forever. For the safety stocks, I'm finding the industries with upward trends and then the companies within each with a competitive advantage. Then I use valuation to find the best stocks to buy now.

The process is similar for growth stocks but I also want to make sure the company has a balance sheet that can survive. That means lots of cash and low debt to get through this bear market. If a stock can keep growing through that, it will have the benefit of the next bull market to take it higher.

Now understand, for as long as we’re in a bear market, shares these growth stocks will be under pressure…but just like buying Amazon in 2002 at $6 a share after the dot-com crash would have made you 500-times your money…buying these growth stocks now is your best chance at those kinds of returns over the next 10 and 20 years.

Currently working overseas but will return to my home country in the near future. I'm a landlord. I invested in property at the age of 22. Value has soared and renting out. Will live on the rental income I receive and live with my aging parents for the time being. At 60 I can withdrawal from my superannuation (401(k)). Have savings and eligible for the Australian pension at 63. In the future I may downsize, sell the property and buy cheaper property and add the left over money from the sale to savings. Lots of options for me. The way I see it if you have $1m at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income...

Despite the fact that I invest, I am saddened by my inability to evaluate each company's performance and determine whether or not this is the ideal time to purchase stocks. My monetary stockpile is being depleted by inflation. At this stage, I need accurate market trajectory data, but I'm not sure what to do.

[mcintyre]

it feels good to see the market in green, but just how long until we actually break even, I’m the average retail trader, DCA-ing, buying and holding on to stocks for eons, but it’s like I’m up 5% today and down 17% the next week, Yes the market is very Darwinian, there’s winners and losers, and it’s looking like I’ve been on a losing streak, while others make huge 6figure gains in the same market. What strategies are these folks using?

Despite the fact that stock prices fluctuate, what is the best method for capitalizing on the current market? I'm still undecided about investing $400k in my stock portfolio.

Major indexes booked their worst yearly performance since 2008 thanks to drivers like the recession, war, hiked interest rate and inflation which so far doesn’t seem to be easing off, so I’m left wondering what 2023 has in store for us investors, I’ve been sitting on over $745K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy stocks or do I wait?

[lloydthomas]

A lot of folks have been going on about a December rally and said stocks that would be experiencing significant growth these festive season, any idea which stocks this may be? I just sold my home in the Boca Grande area and I’m looking to remunerate a lump sum into the stock market before stocks rebound, is this a good time to buy or no?

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

There are lots of mixed opinions about stocks and there projection in the next coming years, I aim for short term solid gains from market correction and I'd definitely jump on the boat if I knew a thing or two about day-trading, but then again what do I really know? I'm just looking for the right moves to grow and hedge my stagnant reserve of $370k from inflation.

[ReidCoffman]

With inflation currently at about 10%, my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy asap.

I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460, 000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused about the current market volatility, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a weekly and monthly basis. I realized that the secret to making millions is by making better investments.

Joe, you are saving me time and money with this advice. I literally stumbled upon SCHD because youtube suggested your video. Subscribed ever since. Thanks.

[larrymanasco]

Growth (FCX, SOFI, AMZN) Long-term hold (TDOC, C, META), dividend ETF (SCHD). Really good breakdown of his reasons why for each stock in the video.

[korgun]

I have been watching investment related videos for a while. Finding good quality content is hard. Most videos give only a bit of information but lots of affiliate ads. This video is not one of them. Great content. Thank you!

Hi Joseph, I own shares in Barrick Gold (Gold). You mention freeport being a good copper stock... Would you also recommend barrick as a stock as well?

[johnmcguire]

Really love your videos !!! Could you possibly do a video on the "Top Brokerage Firms / Accounts" that you prefer. Thank you. John

[LIQUIDDREAMS]

Hey Joseph, what's your take on MMAT for the future. I bought shares way before all the hype. Meme hype aside do you see it as a solid growth company.

[lungeloshandu]

Great advice and i also love your humbleness more.
