I have positions in a few blue chip companies like MSFT, AMZN, DIS, etc., and while I’m sure they’ll be good investments for quite a long time, do you think they’ll really still be good investments in 30-50 years? Even the best companies will eventually die- surely it would be better to try and sell even stocks like AMZN and AAPL at some point rather than trying to hold them all the way until retirement and betting that they won’t decline before then. The problem, obviously, is trying to time the top, and if obvious signs of decline start to kick in, the market will certainly react.
I’m just trying to think about how I should play these blue chips over the course of multiple decades. I plan to hold things like VTI essentially forever, but MSFT and AMZN and etc.? Although I think they’re great stocks right now, what do I do in 20 years when they drop because new companies came along and started outdoing them? It’s not really worth stressing about, obviously, but I like to think about these things.
