Our favorite holding period is forever. -- Warren Buffett
Forever is an awfully long time. Heck, the average holding period for stocks isn't even one year anymore, since the advent of online trading, computer-driven high-speed trading, and steadily falling brokerage costs. But even with so much of a shift toward short-term trading, the most-effective way for individual investors to get the best returns remains the simplest: Buy great companies and hold them as long as possible.
Owning stocks that pay a dividend can make it much easier to hold on to them, particularly if they have the ability to steadily increase the payout and solid prospects to grow the business. To help find the best long-term dividend stocks out there, we asked three of our Motley Fool investors for a little help. They came back with Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc (NASDAQ:GLPI), AES Corp (NYSE:AES), and Caretrust REIT Inc (NASDAQ:CTRE).
