If you're reading this article, it's likely because you're in the market for stocks that you can buy and hold forever. That's certainly much better than looking for stocks to day-trade , where you only hold them for a day or less, not giving the companies a chance to grow and build wealth for you. Bear in mind, though, that it's better to buy to hold -- meaning that you buy stocks intending to hold on for the long haul, but you monitor them over time, and sell if and when that seems best.
