How to find companies with high long-term value by understanding key trends
Warren Buffett once said that his favorite holding period for a stock is “forever.” Now James Altucher shows how to find “forever” stocks—ones you can safely buy and hold for at least twenty years. These companies will profit from broad demographic trends and can ride out any short-term market fluctuations. 
For instance, Altucher says it’s smart to invest in:
Obesity: 33 billion dollars are spent each year on services for the obese
Dirty Water: Developing countries are finding it much harder to deliver clean water to their growing populations, and companies that sell clean water treatment technologies will thrive
Luxury: The rich are recession-proof, and the stocks of luxury producers make a great hedge against any slowdown in the global economy
The Forever Portfolio shows investors how to build a strong, consistent, long-term portfolio, diversified enough to withstand the various cycles of the market.

      Altucher, founder of the Stockpickr.com social networking web site for investing, shows how to find stocks that should benefit from irresistible multidecade demographic trends. He singles out the Barnes Group, for instance, because its business of producing parts for railroads should be positively impacted by rail growth. Altucher also says individuals should seek out and emulate the investments made by successful professionals and piggyback onto their research. If Warren Buffett has been buying stock in railroads like Burlington Northern, then, says Altucher, so should you. The irreverent Altucher doesn't mind poking holes in cherished beliefs, as when he says he would rather give his children money to start successful businesses than spend it on college, which might not be economically beneficial. He also recounts some of the lessons he learned from his investing and business successes and, most insightfully, his failures. All in all, Altucher makes good investing and life points that would benefit most readers, especially young professionals.Lawrence Maxted, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA
