The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

My Top Picks for Long-Term Buy & Hold (updated)

Since the previous version of this list one year ago, I dropped six names
(APD, CUB, CVX, PG, NVS, XOM) and added two (IBM, RDS-A/B), so
it’s now a ‘Top-16’ list instead of top-20. Below are two or three sample
posts for each name. (Some sample posts are old but still a good read.)
