Long-term buy-and-hold stock
investments can make investors rich. All you need is to be disciplined, have
patience and a bit of luck.
The trick to
making big money is to pick stocks that grow earnings and dividends year after
year and be patient. For sure not every stock created million out of 10
thousand bucks but the possibility is much higher than betting or gambling.
The good thing by
investing money into quality stocks is that you could receive a good return. It
means that you keep your money alive if you don't have a ten bagger.
Today I like to
show you those stocks that make normal investors to millionaires over decades.
That's a pretty amazing strategy. Buy and hold stocks and get paid off while
you have done nothing.
At the bottom of this article is a table of
13 stocks each of which turned a $10,000 investment into millions of dollars.
