Stocks to Hold for Next Ten Years.

coachman12

After looking at this thread for the first time, my first reaction is how few members have responded to the original question, which was a good idea  for a "fun" thread. After the first few replies , posters seemed to go off rambling about either generalities or, conversely, one-off obscure companies.
Going back to the original posting , I will try and answer the question by providing a list of about 10  (as requested)based on different company shares of a small part of my own portfolio : Astra Zeneca;
CIGNA ; Pinterest;  Aviva;  BP;  Livongo Health;  HDFC Life;  Mercado Libre;  Ocado;  Persimmon;
Wild Cards ( which I do hold)----sectors : UK property ( I know it's not share-based but it's always worth remembering-----the more property the better), Indian IT companies and, as an outsider, Balfour Beatty.
My watchword is ALWAYS "diversity" and I have tried to exemplify that ethos in my selection.
Thank you to O/P for the fun idea. Let's all be here to share your thread again in 2030

I know this sounds more like a Reddit thing but it's just a bit of fun. Not investment advice obviously. No explanations needed (unless you want to)
Let's say 10 to 20 stocks to hold for the next 10 years or more Buffett style, with maybe with the odd wildcard thrown in.
It maybe interesting to see if the same names keep coming up.
For what it's worth mine are:
Amazon, Alphabet, Disney, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Shopify, PayPal, Visa, Square Inc, Lululemon, illumina, Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, Starbucks, Chegg,  and Tesla (more risk/reward I know)
Wildcard: Pinterest.

I think the general consensus of analysts are MFAANG stocks Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google (Alphabet ) are good for savvy investors. But anyway, no one needs to be told by the analysts to invest on these stock as most of institutional investors already have it in their portfolio. When vast majority of institutional investors have it in their portfolio, then the stocks already speak for themselves. Also, for savvy retail investors who invested in index fund, there is a good chance they already have it as part of their index fund investment. So nothing excited about them apart from the fact that Facebook has a recent downfall in its stock price, so might be a good idea for the another entry point to increase your position in this stock.

About Tesla, based on analyst’s estimation it has a downside with estimated value of around US$700 much less than the current value of US$ 1,119. But keep in mind many value investor analysts are categorising an electric vehicle such as Tesla, Nio in the same league with traditional car makers and late to realise that they are actually technolgy companies focusing more on growth rather than value. Jim Cramer which has a daily show on CNBC fell into this mind trap initially, but he later realised and since then have made correction. if you see now, he starts recommending Tesla. Even on his yesterday show, he still recommends Tesla (TSLA) as a good investment considering risk/reward.

The non-traditional investors focusing on growth with disruptive technology rather than value and therefore willing to take more risk such as Cathy Woods (ARK invest), Ron Baron (Baron’s Fund) spotted the Tesla potential right from the beginning and therefore have massively benefited from this stock.

I am aware that Square Inc & illumina, the disruptive technolgy  companies are in Cathy Woods Portfolios but I have not seen them well recommended Jim Cramer's shows or other analysts appear on CNBC. Also I have seen some analysts have put them more in potential risk than on the reward side. Do you have any link to analyst or robo analysts that support that Square Inc or illuminaire is a "buy" with their current prices ?

If my memory serves well, other stocks you mention above are already recommended in Jim Cramer's shows on CNBC.

Sometimes it worths to take a calculated risk considering the potential risk are much less than the reward you might get. Keep in mind, not many investors have paid attention for the companies like Facebook, Amazon,  Alphabet initially but have a look now what has happened; Majority of them have ithem as part of their core holding in their fund portfolios.

I am aware the initial intention of this thread is for fun and therefore does not constitute a financial advice or stock recommendation. Please do your own due diligence taking benefit of price increase but similarly loss if the stock goes to the different direction.

A quick first stab at this and a fair bit of overlap with others
Amazon, Disney, Paypal, Illumina, London Stock Exchange, Orsted, Microsoft, ASML, Alibaba, Tencent.
No doubt will add a few more later!

It is good to buy a dividend stock from LSE rather than NASDAQ, as it is more tax effiicient if you could still wrap it in S&S ISA. But where could you buy Microsoft (MFST) in LSE, do you mean 2x Microsoft (MSF, MDF2, MSFE) ? Which one you recommend as a mirror of NASDAQ MSFT ?

Hydrogen.     There are already hydrogen powered cars  and buses ( London has ordered some).

Nikola (NKLA) is hybrid vehicle and will be using Battery and Hydrogen. They are yet to build their own hydrogen network though. A few emerging companies will be using a hybrid of CNG (compressed Natural Gas) and battery. There are already reasonable number of CNGs networks across the US.

I pretty much exclusively invest in biotech (where individual stocks are concerned), and the sector is very much in a sweet-spot right now.

The company I'd recommend is Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals:

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4356075-arrowhead-pharmaceuticals-is-long-term-investment-to-consider

Thanks for the tipoff, will have a look on this. ARWR currently trading at US$ 44.16 is also recommended by 6 CNN analysts.

https://money.cnn.com/quote/forecast/forecast.html?symb=ARWR

Pharmaceuticals Inc have a median target of 62.00, with a high estimate of 81.00 and a low estimate of 29.00. The median estimate represents a +40.40% increase from the last price of 44.16. So it is weighted more on rewards upside than risk.

Microsoft shares can be wrapped in an ISA and it is no more tax efficient if you were to try to buy it via the London stock exchange. 

Shares of any company officially listed on a recognised stock exchange anywhere in the world (or admitted to trading on a recognised stock exchange in the EEA) are allowed to be held in an ISA. If your stockbroker didn't allow trading on overseas markets so you chose to take exposure to Microsoft shares by buying a Crest Depositary Interest on the London stock exchange (e.g., the  London-listed CDI for Microsoft Corp ordinary shares has ticker 0QYP) it would not grant you any more tax efficiency than buying the shares listed on the Nasdaq in an ISA.  Some cheap brokers don't offer foreign stock markets, but most of the big ones do.

As an example, I have Tencent in both my ISA and SIPP with AJ Bell - it's listed on the main board of the Hong Kong stock exchange, which is recognised within HMRC's definitions just like NASDAQ is.

Apparently not, theres only something like a day or twos trading volume shorted.

Seems this is because S&P500 inclusion is looking nailed on, which means huge numbers must be bought by index funds, and unusually TSLA is going direct into S&P500 not just being promoted from the index below (400?).

AIUI usually brokers would hold a stock like this in the 400 and just have to transfer it to 500 and maybe buy a bit more.

To go direct into the 500 (and at position mid 30's) is very unusual.

Tesla is a scandal in the making.

You've been drinking the TSLAQ kool-aid. Hope for your sake you're not short.

Nikola, now there's a scandal in the making. Theranos 2.0  (  IMNSHO of course )
