It has been nearly three years since the market has faced a drop in prices of 10% or more, and investors are more than a little worried. The memory of two stock market crashes in less than a decade still has investors on their toes for another sell-off and daily calls by pundits for a bubble. Investing does not have to be like this for most people. Unless you are a money manager or advisor, always tasked with beating the markets, investing can be a long-term decision and your money can be safe in stocks you can hold forever.
These are my forever stocks, companies that should be around for decades and will continue to see higher sales: Potash Corp (NYSE: POT) is the world's second-largest producer of potash and the third largest producer of nitrogen and phosphate. Fertilizer stocks are one of my strongest megatrend bets with about 10% of my total portfolio in different companies. Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE: KMP ) is the third-largest energy company in North America and the largest independent transporter of petroleum products. Energy transportation is another favorite megatrend of mine, with surging production in the United States outstripping the ability to build pipelines.
