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.

I have no plans to sell Allergan plc (NYSE:AGN). In fact, I am using this extended period of weakness to add more shares because this stock looks to be grossly undervalued. I'm awfully hard-pressed to find a reason that would make me want to sell my shares of Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM).
