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.

What are the best stocks to buy? Find out in this video...
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.
