I really like sbux as a buy and hold forever, this might be a simplistic view but there is one in every corner and the world will never stop drinking coffee. Sbux is already almost as valuable as McDonald's.

To me, I don't consider aapl a buy and hold forever because who knows what the trends in tech will be 20 years from now. I'd be wary of chipotle as well.

I like AAL too

Most shareholders of an airline hold more than one

ETA: JBLU has been good as well

True, but when comparing to apple and chipotle, I believe sbux yield is on par with apple and I don't think chipotle pays one.

Obviously for someone older who doesn't have a 30-40 year window, a blue chip dividend payer like T, xom, etc. would be better.

It turned out more than OK. And some dynastic fortunes were made off those lows. But it felt like a crap shoot every time I hit the buy button
For me it wasn't so much the buy button but daily checking the price on the buys for weeks after. I kept thinking, what the hell did I do. This was when I thought I caught a falling knife. Thank goodness the market turned around shortly after. While I didn't make a "dynastic fortune", I did do quite well in my investment account. I had several coworkers that moved out of stock funds in our 401K. I tried to tell them they were locking in their losses and they should stay the course. Thankfully, I did and was rewarded.

I'll vouch for LSU Russian on this. I was around back then and remember his remarks. Wish I knew how he knew (or, guessed right).

CVX (I like them most right this second out of all of the big oil companies. I feel they are best suited to navigate the over supply issues in the near/mid term and have the most invested in income diversification in the long term)

HCP

ED

EMR

PG


Basically my favorites off of the Dividend Aristocrats.

You are young don't buy and hold be aggressive. Plus you already are diversified you can recover on any losses.

Why them over XOM? Everything I see, XOM is sitting in a better position currently

Dividend reinvestment doesn't work as well if you start when you're old.

Sorry I'm a little behind.....

It's not a clear cut difference, it's just their margins are among the highest in the business (don't have the charts with me), which would allow them to field a low oil scenario the best.

There is certainly negatives you can sling their way too, such as ROI of assets, but my gut says to ride CVX all the way down.

I'm currently debating which oil company to open a position with.

MRO below $21 is tempting, but it could be $15 soon!!!

Anything that is already so beaten down will get destroyed in a market sell off...
I hate having to average down, but
how long can these energy stocks fall?!

It seems in recent history an equity sell off is preceded by a commodities sell off. I'm not sure taking a position in a buy and hold given the current volatility/uncertainty right now is the correct procedure right now. I think the correct procedure is patience at this moment.

Edit -

As I see it, by every conservative measure equities are overvalued. If you drill down into earnings carefully, there are some games being played by buy backs etc. In the near term, the Fed is going to speak. In the future, the China sell off has continued, at least for now. Copper and aluminum continue to get destroyed, and these are usually decent indicators looking backwards.

Scary? Maybe not. Worth some consideration? I think yes.
