Description

How to find companies with high long-term value by understanding key trends

Warren Buffett once said that his favorite holding period for a stock is "forever." Now James Altucher shows how to find "forever" stocks--ones you can safely buy and hold for at least twenty years. These companies will profit from broad demographic trends and can ride out any short-term market fluctuations.

For instance, Altucher says it's smart to invest in:

* Obesity: 33 billion dollars are spent each year on services for the obese
* Dirty Water: Developing countries are finding it much harder to deliver clean water to their growing populations, and companies that sell clean water treatment technologies will thrive
* Luxury: The rich are recession-proof, and the stocks of luxury producers make a great hedge against any slowdown in the global economy

The Forever Portfolio shows investors how to build a strong, consistent, long-term portfolio, diversified enough to withstand the various cycles of the market.
