Long term investing, also known as ‘buy and hold investing’ is one of the easiest ways to generate wealth.
All you have to do is buy the stock of a solid company at a discount and then hold for years to come.
But this isn’t as easy as it sounds. Which stocks can you really hold for a long time?
Only 0.5% of listed stocks today are credible enough to be the big winners of the next few decades.
Even with all the hi-tech tools, screeners, and spread sheets at your disposal, you can go horribly wrong in picking the next HDFC Bank or Titan.
Moreover, in the event of a March 2020 like stock market crash, all your gains in questionable stocks, could get wiped out.

How to profit from a once in a generation wealth creation opportunity.

When you hold on to stocks for the long term, you create an opportunity to compound massive wealth. Here's a list of the top 6 long term stocks that should be on your watchlist.
The strategy behind long term investing is to hold on to stocks for a period of more than three years, or possibly more than five years.
Three years or five years sounds like a long period when one dives into the stock market. That's because most investors are looking to make a killing in the short term.
But that's the difference between a trader and an investor.
There are retail investors who choose to invest in fundamentally strong stocks and remain invested for the long haul. This can even mean a period of 3, 5, 10 or more years.
The best long-term stocks are those that compound wealth that could last you for generations.
For this, you need to buy great companies at a reasonable price and hold on to them 'forever'.
Asian Paints is a classic example that embodies the true spirit of a 'Forever Stock'. Had anyone invested Rs 500 in the company when it went public in 1982, the value of the holding would be as much as Rs 10 m today.
