According to legendary investor Warren Buffett, the best holding period is forever. While most investors may not have quite that long of a time horizon, the key to successful investing is buying high-quality stocks at reasonable prices and holding them for a very long time. With that in mind, I come up with some ideas for stocks that can be safely held for the next 20 years.
You might agree with me or not but growth is more important for this issue. Only a stocks with solid growth perspectives could give you a price appreciation.
That's also the reason why I'm looking for stocks with growth. My second criteria are profitability. Only a company that scales it's money making machine could create values, not a stock that wides losses. That's easily to understand.
Attached you find my 12 favorite dividend paying growth stocks. Which do you like from the list?

Why Dividends Matter? Companies that pay regular dividends tend to be in better financial health and produce sustained earnings and revenue growth.
Dividends help identify well-managed companies; every dividend declaration represents a promise by management and a vote of confidence by the board of directors in the company's leadership.
Companies that consistently raise their dividend payouts also raise the bar on their own performance expectations.
Shares of dividend-paying companies possess built-in value that makes them generally more resilient in down markets, with solid appreciation potential during earnings-driven market upturns — with less price volatility.
That's the theory. In real, there are several indices you can follow in order to discover the best dividend paying stocks.
Very poplular are Dividend Aristocrats and the CCC Lists. But those have in common that they are focussed on national domiciled stocks.
For sure, on an international basis, the number of stocks with a long dividend growth history is very limited. That's the reason why we need to turn down the classic rules of Dividend Growth.
Today I screened the lists of International Dividend Achievers, stocks with more than 5 consecutive years of dividend growth by companies with good looking fundamentals and growth perspectives.
Attached you will find 17 of my top results. The list contains 6 stocks with a yield over 4 percent.

There are a number of ways in which a company can return wealth to its shareholders.
Although stock price appreciation and dividends are the two most common ways of doing this, there are other useful, and often overlooked, ways for companies to share their wealth with investors: Dividends and share buybacks.
Buybacks is one way to build values for investors. It's a kind of income usage. Buying back own shares increases future eps when the net income is constant.
Today I would like to introduce a number of stocks with interesting fundamentals and price ratios that have bought own shares in a significant amount back.
Each of the attached stocks have fulfilled all of the following criteria:
- Share reduction over the past year over 5%
- Forward P/E under 15
- Debt-to-equity under 1
- Positive ROA
- EPS growth for the next five years over 5%
- Dividend yield at least 2%

Have you ever noticed those that most vehemently attack a buy-and-hold strategy really don't understand how the strategy works?
They confuse a buy-and-hold strategy with day trading with a longer duration. A true implementation of buy-and-hold includes a focus on blue-chip stocks with a sustainable advantage, along with a reasonable asset allocation framework.
One sign of a blue-chip stock is a long string of dividend increases.
