Stocks to Hold for Next Ten Years.

Target price for tsla on charts is 1900

Interesting thread, I have a significant shareholding in an AIM stock, Genedrive "GDR" http://www.genedriveplc.com/ that I believe is on a fantastic journey. I only came across them in the last few months, they have developed a fantastic test for babies that need antibiotics after being born to determine if they have a specific gene which causes hearing loss with the normal antibiotic, so with this screening that can be avoided. They also have other diagnostic tests including an excellent PCR Covid test which is just about to record sales, so despite the share price increasing over the last few months I believe the company is currently undervalued. I see a very bright future for them and they are a very ethical company which is refreshing. I intend to hold long term. Currently the share price is a little over 100p, I can see 400-500p being achieved in the not too distant future.

It's a pity it's so difficult to pull together the historical components of an index. It would be interesting to take ourselves back 10 years and see how we would've done then. The top 10 components of the S&P in 2012 were Apple / Exxon / Microsoft / GE / IBM / Chevron / J&J / AT&T / P&G / Pfizer. Today, only eight years later, it's Microsoft / Apple / Amazon / Facebook / Alphabet(x2) / J&J / Berkshire Hathaway / Visa / JP Morgan & Chase.

In 2012 I would've answered by saying just take the top 10 today and it'll look pretty much the same in 10 years. Obviously it doesn't after only eight years. I still think your best chance of picking the top 10 in ten years (which isn't quite the question being asked) is to pick today's top 10 - you'll get about 60% as opposed to closer to zero trying to guess the next big thing.

Based on the economist "Adam Smith" there is an "Invisible Hand" controlling the stability of the world economy.

But in the stock market during COVID-19  pandemic the investors are depending on this man hand

If his hands disappear investors will toast

In March 2012 Epistem who developed "Genedrive" were trading at a market price of around 422p. Some concepts take a long time to come to commercial fruition (with a lot more capital funding along the way).

Someone tipped Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH) on another board, if you're into Energy stocks - it's not my preferred sector to dabble in with stocks so I'm passing up.

Edit: Perhaps not such a good investment after all (just noticed this!):

I posted that comment on 29 Jun, when the stock price was around $47.50. Today it's around $73. Probably would have been better off posting in the "Speculative punt" thread!

The kind of thread I wanted to open...

I'm currently investing only in VLS80 (Vanguard) and S&P500, 55%-45%.
Soon I need to buy an house, or maybe 2 apartments and 1 for rent, we'll see.

How much (in %) should I consider to invest in bluechip companies or even small very promising companies?
I mean, how much is usually invested by investors?

The reason to buy manually stocks is because they are so much more high performance... 
Obviously the probability to fail is much higher, but let's be serious, if you take the correct companies, not like a beginner, who can actually fail in this?
You just need to be patient, the high revenue of other companies could always balance, I just analyzed few charts (past data), it's almost impossible do not have gained at least 4-8 times what you invested over time, considering only a lump sum, obviously with drip feeding it's much more!

I also plan to invest in the company where I'm employed, that's also a good one seen that the potential is impressive and I have equity at a very low price, but that doesn't mean much, there are many other things to evalute...

Zola.

I'll stick to holding about 3000 in an index.

I can see my 3,000 Aviva shares being held for the next ten years.

Indeed. On the same premise, Diageo because people will always want to get drunk (and even if everyone becomes uber health conscious and stop drinking alcohol they'll diversify and take over the health juice market 🤣) and National Grid because people will always need electricity!
