I was just talking about a lot of these same ideas(and companies, WM, RSG) in my previous posts.
I am a huge proponent of the buy and hold forever idea. But it cannot be too literal. You have to be able to evaluate what you are invested in, do not stick your head in the sand or hold too dearly to any stock and develop an emotional or irrational attachment.
I will admit to being a very positive optimist, which I can attribute a great deal to my young age(26), and youthful zeal.
I also love all of this finance stuff, and want to spend my entire life trying to help reach and teach as many people as possible about the virtues and benefits that investing can provide.
Too many of friends and acquaints around my age are just churning away on the hedonic treadmill of conspicuous consumption and rampant consumerism.
I have recently been getting interested in stoic ideals and philosophies, which is giving some new thoughts and perspectives. It dovetails nicely with dividend oriented investing.
