10 Long-Term Value Dividend Stocks I Like To Buy And Hold For The Next Years

My goal is to buy shares of companies that I love, reinvest the dividends, and in a few decades, retire without having to sell a share of stock because my dividend income is reasonable enough to support me and my family. Sound crazy? It's not.

Dividend growth is a key value creation tool that works well for investors who don't want a high return on investment but a solid. You don't have to fear great recessions because of the deep economic integration.

Buy and hold forever is easy to say but hard to implement because of the human psychology. Investors loose trust over time when the company don't grow or disappoints on the earnings in the mid-term. Let me tell you one thing: Only over a long time, the company has a high probability to create and unlock its potential value.

Each good wine need time to develop and dividend growth stocks also need time. That's why I believe that high-quality dividend growth stocks are essential for wealth building.

The 10 stocks listed below are a portion of my "forever" portfolio. I'm not recommending them to you.

20 Best Consumer Goods Stocks Beyond Procter & Gamble

Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) is a titan of the household products industry. The company is nearly 200 years old, worth more than $200 billion, and owns well-known brand names such as Tide, Gillette, and Pampers.

But the company has struggled recently. It's sold off secondary brands like Duracell, Cover Girl, and Zest to cut costs and focus on its core brands. 

Moreover, the company's once-strong pipeline of innovation has yielded little success, and spending on R&D as a percentage of sales is lower than it's been in almost any point in the last 20 years.

The Crest-maker's sales have fallen as it has shed brands, struggled to grow domestic sales, and faced a strengthening dollar. The stock is up 12% this year, but the long term looks challenging.

Here are 20 similar stocks with better prospects than P&G.
