If you had puchased Woolworth the number one store in America 25 years you be in the house of pain.If you had purchased GE you would be in the house of pleasure. Please keep us a way from the Xeroxs and Polaroids of the world.A lot of high flyers are gone.

Aqua America (WTR). It's a water company. I thought it would be a safe place to get a nice steady dividend. It turns out to safe, as well as the best growing investment I've seen in years.

Your question is based on a wrong assumption. You can hope o keep a stock for 25 years.... but you don't buy it and forget it.
The best way to protect yourself is through diversification. If you have many stocks & 50% go bad.... the other 50% should make up for the loss.
read as much as you can on investing. It will save you thousands of dollars.
