Does one of them belong in your "never sell" portfolio? Keep reading to find out: Thinking as long term as possible is at the heart of how I invest, and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:MA) may represent this better than any other stock I own because the company is positioned to profit from two converging trends that are set to have huge impacts on global electronic payments.
