Now for our disciplined readers, the two secrets for infinite wealth creation are:
- Selecting top-quality stocks
- Staying invested for the long term.
Aren’t these secrets quite obvious? Shouldn’t all investors inherently follow them? Unfortunately, while obvious, 99% of investors fail to follow these basic long term investing principles. These ‘investors’ then wonder why they did not create infinite wealth!
But we empathise with you. While common sense, discovering the best long term investment stocks is no easy task. It takes years of hard work, perseverance and a keen eye to discover the best long term stocks amidst the 4,500+ stocks in the market.

We have already revealed the 10 best long term investment stocks to buy in India. So, you’ve already won half the battle.
To win the other half, you need to commit to long term investing. But before making a long term commitment, you first need to understand the Power of Compounding.
Power of compounding is the single reason why an ordinary boy from Omaha is amongst the richest men on the planet!
Did you know that Warren Buffett’s annual portfolio return is only 22%? On the contrary, Jim Simons has generated an annual return of 66%!
But then why is Warren Buffett known as the greatest investor of all times while Jim Simons remains unknown?
If returns are the only thing that matters, then why is Jim Simons not the richest man on the planet having beaten Warren Buffett’s portfolio returns by a whopping 44%!
You’d be surprised to know that returns are not the most crucial component of long term wealth creation.
The secret of long term wealth creation is the power of compounding. Warren Buffett selects great quality fundamentally strong stocks. No arguments here. But that is not the sole reason for his abundant wealth.
“Warren Buffett’s strength lies in stock selection but his secret is the time! “
Warren Buffett started investing when he was 9 years old. He is 90 years old now. His investments have been compounding for almost a quarter of a century. On the other hand, Jim Simons started investing in good quality stocks in his late 50s.
Simply put, even a 44% higher return couldn’t cover up the gains accumulated due to the Power of Compounding.
So, there you go. Select fundamentally strong stocks and stay invested for the long term and you too shall create infinite wealth.
