Whichever company I chose as a good idea for 100 years I would want to buy only when the price was below the 150 week moving average. It's much harder to get a good return when one pays more than some fairly long term average. And even KO has many such beneficial buy points. EKS I think says he uses 200 week just to notice companies becoming better buys. I have a monthly budget for buying and sometimes in a long bull market like we've had recently I have to exercise a lot of self control, but usually I'm glad I waited when some major break happens. Of course, I don't try to buy just because the price is low as that can also mean a sick company. I find this board to be an excellent place to notice promising companies and situations.

I00 year holding? Almost everything could be obsoleted, or mismanaged to death. Or socialized, or something. If I had to pick a stock to hold for 100 years, I'd look for something that will still be a necessity, and maybe in limited supply. I'd pick a land owning company, maybe one of the farmland holding companies mentioned here. Or. a publicly-traded water company. Assuming road infrastructure will still be in use by some sort of vehicles moving on the ground, I will guess tire manufacturers will still be around. Not claiming that any of these are good investments ever, only that they might satisfy the original question, if I had to hold one company for 100 years - one of these would be it for me.
