Ok....did eastern airlines or Kodak pay a dividend that grew year over year for 30+ years as most divided titans do? Exactly they didn't so their long term solvency wasn't really a shock...most companies that are div titans raised dividends even in the worst markets like 1987,tech bubble,2008,2009 and so on...no comparison.

Altria is a dividend monster and will prob become a gold mine when weed becomes legal everywhere in the near future

You are changing the subject again.
You asked about a single stock for life. My response is that it is basically impossible to pick one ahead of time that will make you rich - if you want guarantees you need to pick many. If you just pick one you might be picking today's RCA.
Of course, it's easy to pick one in hindsight. Look at the Nifty Fifty. If you'd bought the entire lot you would've done ok. If you'd plunged into just one, like Eastman or Simplicity Pattern (not a firm on most people's minds today) you would be screwed.
Don't pick one, pick many. Amateur.
