There's a lot of evidence that investors who focus on the long term, buying and holding stocks for many years, have the best shot at getting the best returns.

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. But as it stands, one stock I wouldn't mind owning indefinitely (and have already owned for years) is iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ:IRBT, a home robot specialist best known for its popular Roomba robotic vacuums. 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).
