Investor Shares Long-Term Vision for Stocks in Costco, Amazon, and Apple

The author tries to buy and hold stocks for the long term, with some he envisions holding "forever" like Warren Buffett recommends.

Costco has a successful membership-based model leading to strong renewal rates, cash flows, and 81,000% stock growth since IPO.

Amazon struggled recently but has rebounded with triple-digit profit growth, and its cloud business AWS continues growing at double digits.

Apple is becoming more of a services company thanks to its ecosystem of over 2 billion devices, with services revenue now making up 19% of total revenue.

While the author can envision scenarios for selling any stock, these 3 companies have such strong competitive advantages and growth he finds it hard to imagine selling them.
