re: buy and hold?

It's fantastic and a testament to something that started out as a $5K gift when I was 16 that paid me $250/year give or take......I caught an obsession with dividends and 18 years later, its where its at, and now that I have a much higher income ive been adding monthly and my dividend stream is much higher and will hopefully allow me to retire by 45 with a 6 figure income and then allow me to rent out my convenience stores and have 2 big income streams
