10 Dividend Stocks to Own Forever
How to build a portfolio your grandkids will thank you for
A few years ago, I met a retired man who never worried about money.
He didn’t win the lottery, didn’t sell a company, and he didn’t trade crypto.
He just bought a few good businesses…
And never sold them.
He called it “coffee can investing.”
Like the old days, when your grandmother would stick money in a coffee can and hide it in the pantry.
No passwords. No panic. No trading.
Just sit.
Wait.
And let great businesses do the hard work.
So here’s a simple question:
What stocks would you put in a coffee can today… and open in 50 years?
These are my 10 favorite “never sell” dividend payers that aren’t already in our portfolio.
Let’s count them down.
10. Eversource Energy ($ES)
A boring utility?
Exactly.
Eversource delivers electricity, gas, and water across New England.
Not exciting - until you realize what that means.
People don’t stop using power in a recession, and they don’t cut off their heat when stocks crash.
This company is tied to the lifeblood of the economy.
And they pay a growing dividend, year after year.
Will Eversource still matter in 2075?
Yes.
Unless people stop turning on the lights.
