You can hold a stock for years never feeling the need to sell because it’s not the stock everyone

else is buying these days.

In buying to hold you can secure market beating

long-term gains…

…as well as save money on taxes and fees.

To top it all off you can also secure an incredible

income source for retirement.

My story:

From 2007 to 2011, I made several small investments in the energy sector. I bought units of

pipeline and processing company Enterprise Products Partners and shares of energy giant

ConocoPhillips.

My story:

The goal was to add income producing investments to my portfolio to provide income

when I retire in a few decades.

The result:

Exceptional income growth:

Enterprise Products Partners 27.18$ 1.96$ 7.21% 2.84$ 10.45% 44.90%ConocoPhillips* 43.97$ 2.00$ 4.55% 2.76$ 6.28% 38.00%Phillps 66* 21.68$ 0.80$ 3.69% 2.00$ 9.23% 150.00%*Note: Phillips 66 was spun off from ConocoPhillips and the numbers have been adjusted to reflect that event.

This income growth isn’t likely to end anytime soon

because each company has a visible pipeline of growth opportunities.

Investor takeawayThree keys to success:

1. Each company has a visible near-term growth plan that will keep the dividend growing.

2. Further, all three companies are well positioned to take advantage of the world’s never ending need for energy.

3. Finally, each has maintained a strong balance sheet to fund growth as well as to weather any storms that may arise.

Investor takeawayThe secret to securing incredible retirement income is simple.

Invest in solid dividend paying stocks with a history of raising their payout.

Look for companies with strong near and long-term growth prospects and low debt levels.

Buy to hold and the income produced will go a long way to securing your retirement.
