 Hey, what's up you two? I'm Zeke and welcome to the Dream Green Show. In this episode, we're going to go over if you have $1,000 what companies should you invest into to hold on to for an entire lifetime. I got around seven companies that we're going to go over today and a couple bonus companies that I'm interested to adding to my own portfolio. So I'm going to give you guys seven solid stocks that you can hold inside of your portfolio for the rest of your life guys to set you up for the possibility of amazing gains. Now I do own a couple of these stocks inside of my portfolio. I'm going to let you know which ones and then I'm also going to let you know which ones then I'm looking to add to my portfolios. So I'm going to try to be as completely as transparent as I can. Now these are amazing stocks. So pull out your pen, pull out your paper, pull out your pencils, pull out anything that you need to write down some notes to take this information in so that you could apply it to your portfolio yourself. But before we dive into this video I would like to thank today's sponsor Weeble. Right now if you click the link down in the description you can sign up and receive two free stocks. You will receive one free stock just from signing up and right now August if you deposit $5 you can receive your second free stock valid up to $2,000. So that's two free stocks.

And once again, I would like to thank today's sponsor, Weeble. But enough talking, let's go ahead and dive straight into this video. Welcome back dreamers, here we go, let's just go ahead and dive straight into this list. The first stock on this list that I think you guys should hold for a lifetime is Amazon. That's right, the tech giant, the technology giant Amazon started off as just a book company and look at them what they is today. They have produced the richest man on earth that's able to fly to the moon. Now ever since the pandemic, if a pandemic cannot take this company down, in fact, right before the pandemic, Amazon was at around $1,800. And that's when I picked up my first full share of Amazon. It took me a while of doing some factional share buying of Amazon file, but I finally got $1,800. And I picked up a full share of Amazon. And right when the pandemic happened, it did not crush this company at all, like many other companies. In fact, it shot all the way up to $3,288 at the time of the recording of this video. Now if a pandemic cannot take down this company, in fact, make this company even stronger than this is looking like a company that I'm planning to hold inside of my portfolio for a lifetime. Now the only thing that could probably take down this company as big as it is, is that the government might see them as a too powerful of a company and that might start breaking down some of their power, dividing up the company even further so that they can't control the world. Now if you're looking for another tech marketing giant, that company would be Google. So this is a little extra one for you guys, still on the list of number one. Google is with their assets and their ads and their campaign. In fact, Google owns YouTube. Hey, go ahead, hit that thumbs up button and subscribe to this channel. That is how I get paid. It's through Google because Google owns YouTube. Now there are the ad giants. They make Facebook look like nothing. I mean, I know Facebook is pretty good at advertising, but Google is the number one giant for a reason, guys. So if you're up in the air and you're in between, Amazon might be too expensive, but Google is also the choice. Those two is kind of my tie for number one will be Amazon and Google. Now moving on to stock number two. Stock number two is a big brain idea. Guys, you know, when we come up with these big brain ideas and we're thinking outside of the box in ways that other people usually do not think about. But I know you subscribers are used to these big brain ideas, but there are a lot of new people to this channel. If you're still new to this channel, hit that subscribe button so you can get these big brain ideas to help you start to think outside the box on your own. Now stock number two is 10 cent holding. Yes, that's right. The gaming company, well, the gaming investing company got to do with a lot of mobile and then they're invested to a lot of other apps. But the reason I'm big on 10 cent holdings is because of Epic Games. That's right, guys. Epic Games. When you hear Epic Games, you hear Fortnite. Fortnite has brought in the most gross income for tournaments, prize rewards. In fact, that started their own leagues and people are starting to go to college off of scholarship and join college video games just off of Fortnite. That is the biggest and baddest game over the last couple of years, and they have made billions of dollars, guys. Now, the reason that, hey, what's so special about Epic Games in Fortnite? I'm not going to invest into just one game. A game is not going to be popular for 10, 20, 30 years. A game is going to fade. Why would I hold this inside my portfolio for life? Well, Epic Games don't just make games, guys. They actually make the technology behind Unreal Engine. Now, if you have no idea what Unreal Engine is, let me explain to you, guys. Epic Games, they develop Unreal Engine. Right now, they're Unreal Engine 5, and it costs a ton of money to develop a game engine. Now, when you're playing... Now, every video game is made off of specific game engines, and there are really just two big game engines out there. Epic Games with Unreal Engine is the top dog. I want to say, around six out of every 10 games is made off the Unreal Engine, and then Epic Games get a kickback from that each time these games are being produced. Now, here's the biggest brain idea I came up with with the Epic Engine. So, I know you guys have watched all the Star Wars, the Mandalorian, how that was shot on the screen. Well, they are using the Unreal Engine. That's right. That's right. Disney Plus is actually using the Unreal Engine 5 to shoot on those screens to record in the background, because they're not building these huge sets. They're using digital graphics, CGI on the green screen, on the blue screen, on TVs, and what they build the world in is in the Unreal 5 engine. So, any time you're watching the Mandalorian, the Star Wars franchise, and a lot of other franchise, those are built off the Unreal Engine, and that is going to... Hey, that's going to be circling around for a very long time now, especially that Disney used them, and they're planning on making all of these films on them. So, they're going to have a reoccurring customer for at least the next 25 years, guys. Now, I know you're wondering, why don't I just invest into Epic Games? Well, Epic Games is now public. In fact, Tim Sweeney, he owns 60% of Epic Games because that's his company. So, he owns 60% of the Unreal Engine 5, and Tencent Holdings hold the other 40% of Epic Games. So, if you wanted to invest into the Unreal Engine, you're very interested in the Mandalorian or all the other Star Wars franchises. You love playing video games, and you want to pick up some shares of Unreal Engine or Epic Games or Fortnite. The only way that we could probably pick up a piece of that pie is to invest into Tencent Holdings. So, that is... Hey, that's big brain play number two, guys. So, let's go ahead and move on to stock number three. Okay, so stock number three is probably the safest way inside of this portfolio, and that's tick-asimble SPY. It tracks the S&P 500 to top 500 companies inside the United States and have them inside one portfolio. Right now, SPY have over 507 different companies inside of their portfolio, inside the S&P 500. In fact, I think they just added Tesla inside of their portfolio. I think that might have been the latest company to be added to the portfolio. So, the S&P 500 just basically tracks the top 500 companies inside of America. It is an ETL, so just by buying one share of that, it's like owning a share of the top 507 different companies inside of America, guys. So, if you want to play it safe and just track how the market goes, you could invest into the S&P 500 ETL. So, bam, there we go. That's going to bring us to stock number four, and this one right here is another big brain play idea. Let me explain it to you, guys. This is the ARK Investment ETF. ARKK is ran by Kathy Woods. Now, this ETF is completely different from SPY ETF. Now, SPY ETF, they have to invest into those same 500 companies. They can't buy anything outside of those same 500 companies, and they got to buy the same amount over and over and over and over and over again. So, they can't really get rid of one company. Even if a company is doing horribly bad, they can't get rid of that company inside of that portfolio. They have to be keeping inside of the portfolio because it's in the S&P 500. Now, ARK Investment is ran by Kathy Woods. She is a trading guru. In fact, ARK Investment ARKK is an active ETF. The difference in between the ETF and the active ETF is that active ETFs, they buy and sell different stocks almost every day, right? In fact, she lets you know when she buys and selling these different stocks. So, if a company is, if she sees an emerging company, she will invest a bunch into this emerging company that she believes in. She'll ride it all the way up. She'll sell it, wait for the price to pull back and get right back in. If a company is not performing how she thinks it'll perform, she'll get completely rid of that company inside her portfolio. Look for the best next upcoming stock. Buy that one. And she buys good quality stocks. She buys stocks in companies that no one even heard of before because she sees the future and she's been able to outperform the S&P 500 for the last, ever since she started, guys. So, let me pull up an example. If you guys invested into the S&P 500 and if you invested into an active ETF. Here we go. Dreamers on the back test portfolio. Let's say we started to invest into the S&P 500 SPY all the way back in, let's say, the last couple of years, 2015. And we invested into ARK at the same time. We started off with $1,000 and we invested another $1,000 every single month into each of these companies. So, we're going to do monthly right there, reinvest our dividends, display income. Yes. And let's say we invested into the S&P 500 and let's say we invested into VOO. That is another one that tracks the technology companies in America. And then we invested to ARKK, which is Kepti Woods ARK Investment Fund 100%, 100% and 100%. Now, once we hit analyze, this is us starting off with $1,000 and investing $1,000 every single month into each of these companies. And there we go, guys. SPY, if we started in 2015 and now in 2021, we'll have $152,000. VLO will have $153,000. And Kepti Woods and her ARK Investment Active ETF, we will have double the amount. Guys, she has outperformed the S&P 500 by double. We will have $322,000 just from starting off with $1,000 and investing $1,000 every single month into her Active ETF. So, if you guys are looking for an ETF that could blow it out of the park in the next 10, 20, 30 years that will outperform the S&P 500, look up any Active ETF that Kepti Woods is involved in. She has ARKK, ARKW. She has a couple of ARK Investment Funds that changed it up just a little bit. But any of them to me is pretty solid. Now, moving on to number five, this one, I'm going to give you guys three different choices. And these are companies that pretty much own an entire sector that have over hundreds of different products. You always want to invest into companies that have hundreds of different products that spread their net, that cast their net very wide so that could bring in money from every different direction. The first company that I'm going to give you guys is Johnson and Johnson. Johnson and Johnson is a medical company that don't everything from band-aids to syringes to surgery knives. Pretty much everything inside the hospital is owned by Johnson and Johnson. They don't just make baby oil you and they don't just make lotion. They make a whole bunch of different medical grade equipment. So, if you guys want to know everything that Johnson and Johnson own, that list will make this video two hours long. So, I can't list everything. The second company that makes everything is Ticker Symbol MMM 3M. They own everything from duct tape to the N95 mask to sticky notes. I know you guys know the sticky notes, the 3M sticky notes from regular tape to duct tape. 3M makes everything that have over 200 different products. Once again, if I list everything that they make, this video will be two hours long. And the third one is Pratt & Gamble Ticker Symbol PG. Everything, they own everything inside the grocery store. On every aisle that you go down, except for probably the food aisle from diapers to Vicks, Vaporwhip to Dayquil, Nightquil, they make everything guys. Now, the great thing about all three of these companies is that they are dividend kings. A dividend king is a company that's inside of the S&P 500 and has increased their dividends every single year for the last 50 years. Now, you could pick any of these companies and you would be just fine. Now, if you're looking to retire and hold these companies inside of your portfolio for the rest of your life, you know that whether if this company shoots up high or this company starts to pull back, they're going to continue to increase their dividends and you receive dividend payments while you retire for the rest of your life. Because good stable companies that continue to increase their dividends every single year, you know that you're going to be able to survive after you retire just from living off the dividends from these companies and all. Now, here's a list of how long they've been increasing their dividends. Johnson and Johnson have been increasing their dividends for the last 58 years, longer than a lot of us have even been alive. 3M have been increasing their dividends for the last 62 years and Practa and Gamble has been increasing their dividends for the last 65 years. Now, between those three companies, those are all three solid choices. Pick one. But yeah, they're all great companies guys. So let's go ahead and move over to the next stock that we should hold on for life. Okay, so we was just talking about dividends and getting paid for life. The next thing that we should look at is real estate reach. Real estate reach are companies that invest into real estate and they have to pay back at least 90% of their taxable income back to their investors in the form of dividends. So they usually have higher dividends than most other companies out there. Now I'm going to give you two real estate reach that pays out their dividends every single month guys. So after you retire, you know that every single month you're going to be receiving a nice dividend paycheck from these two companies. The first one is Stag. Stag made single tenant industrial properties that have a dividend percentage of 3.46% and they pay out every single month and they have been increasing their dividends for the last six years. Now Stag historically has been outperforming the second stock I'm going to give you guys and that's ticker symbol old reality income. Now reality income is monthly dividends are supported by the cash flow from over 6,500 real estate properties owned under long term lease agreements with our commercial clients. So they have long term lease agreements with a whole bunch of different companies. So they know that they're going to get payments out in the next couple of years. They're not looking at single tenant homes. They know for a fact that off the long term lease agreements, they signed with these different companies that they're going to have cash coming in for at least the next couple of years. Now ticker symbol old they have a dividend score of 3.93% which is higher than Stag and but they have been increasing their dividends every single year for the last 24 years guys. So those are two solid real estate reach that you guys could look into. But in fact, I'm going to put up a screenshot right quick. If you will have invested into Stag, let's just say in 2015 and invested into reality income in 2015, Stag has outperformed reality income by long shot over the last couple of years guys. So if you want to do a little bit more research on each of those yourself, those are both solid dividend companies that pay out every single month. In the last stock on this list and by far the best stock on this list is Apple. That's right guys, the first company to have a trillion dollar market evaluation. If you would start investing to this company ever since the iPhone 4S, just a couple of hundred dollars every single week into this company, you will have over a hundred million dollars in Apple. If you started all the way back in the year 2000, I believe somewhere around that price or somewhere around that point, whenever the iPhone 4S that came up, I did a video of it. If you want to see that video, click right here. That video will be right here. If you guys want to know exactly what I'm talking about. Now Apple, if you own an Apple iPhone, got an Apple TV, an Apple Watch, AirPods, Beats by Drays, anything like that, then you should also own a couple of shares of Apple inside your portfolio to have a small dividend payment. But the way that Apple has been increasing over the last couple of years, Apple has been around for so long, but it's a company that continue to climb and outperform the S&P 500 for almost every single year guys. Apple is on a roll to success, especially if they come out with this Apple Car. We're getting in now and they develop an Apple Car or an Apple Home or Apple Something in the future inside of their integrated platform. Then you could see this company continue to rise over the next decade or the next century or so guys. Apple is another stock that you guys should have inside of your portfolio for the rest of your life. Now that we're at the end of this video, I want to thank our sponsors one more time, Weeble.
