Investor Picks 3 Stocks to Hold 20 Years Despite Crash Risks
3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jun 8
Summary
Three stocks made the investor’s 20-year keep list: Berkshire Hathaway, Intuitive Surgical and Nvidia, chosen even with expectations of a possible market correction in the next year or two.
Berkshire anchors the group as a lower-volatility holding—its 0.62 beta suggests smaller swings than the broader market—and the investor says confidence remains after Warren Buffett’s 2026 CEO handoff to Greg Abel.
Intuitive Surgical adds a medical-technology growth angle, with more than 12,000 systems installed, first-quarter procedures up 17% and revenue up 23%; its recurring service and supplies business is a key attraction.
Nvidia rounds out the list on AI-driven momentum: first-quarter revenue jumped 85% to $81.6 billion and data-center revenue rose 92% to $75.2 billion, while the investor argues its valuation still looks reasonable.
The broader thesis is durability over short-term timing—favoring diversified, market-leading businesses with long runways and valuations the investor sees as acceptable despite inflation, unrest and recent double-digit market gains.
