Need proof that buying and holding stocks over the long term is the best way to build wealth in the stock market? Just look at the success of long-term investors such as Warren Buffett, T. Rowe Price, and Peter Lynch. These legendary stock pickers weren't great because they picked a stock and rode it for a week. Many of their best investments were the ones they held on to for years and decades at a time.
The key to this type of investing is finding companies that will stand the test of time.

Smith (NYSE: AOS), 8point3 Energy Partners (NASDAQ: CAFD), and Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM).
