If you could pick one stock today to hold till you die...

What would yours be? I'm personally a buy and hold dividend growth investor so I don't sell anything and typically only buy companies that historically raise their dividends year over year. Im looking for other buy and hold opportunities other people out there enjoy.
For me its tough but KMI/KMP(kinder morgan family) is my favorite especially KMP in a taxable account because of all the tax benefits the MLP has. They have a somewhat scary outlook considering a 1% raise in the interest rate means $55M more in annual expenses but I trust kinder bc he's been a monster to date since leaving enron.....
So I ask you....what are your buy and hold till you die stocks you'd absolutely never sell....and why....

isnt the point of a stock to eventually sell it?

If longevity is the goal, forget individual stocks. Buy a diversified portfolio of index funds. If they go to zero then you know a really big asteroid hit.

Oil.
You can go Exxon or Chevron. Oil is a commodity that will always be in demand.

This reminds me of an old interview...
Parnell: "Natalie, one final question: if you could steal a smooch from any guy in Hollywood who would it--"
:breaks chair over head:
Portman: "No more questions."

Disney. Kids are an indiscriminate bunch.

If I'm older than 40, I'd go with xom or cvx. Younger I'd probably go with google.

McDonalds I suppose. They'll be around for the next 70 years and will pay me a solid dividend.

As previously suggested, XOM or CVX

I've been fortunate so far in my purchasing of KMI and KMP . Very slow but consistent growth so far . With the recent purchase of capano you should see the growth continue . And from all indications so far Rich Kinder shows no signs of slowing down acquisitions .

I have 4 individual stocks that I bought when I was 16 at the advice of my stepfather. McDonalds, Walmart, Microsoft, and GE. Even GE has made me plenty of money, yes it's true. Never sold a single share, and probably won't for a very long time.

Away from some of the obvious choices like Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Ford, etc.
I like AstraZeneca - I recognize that, much like financials and defense contractors, there always seem to be mergers, acquisitions, subtle changes that can steer things big (a bad lawsuit, for example, in pharmaceuticals) but it is a company that makes good revenues, pays a good dividend and isn't going anywhere (although it may merge/get bought at some point).

We have Ashland oil stock and Marathon oil for the longest time but don't plan on holding on to it forever. I would hold Walmart
