According to SPIVA research, only 15% of actively managed funds can outperform the S&P 500 Index in the long run. Selecting the best long-term stocks is not an easy task and requires an in-depth understanding of the stock market and macroeconomic developments. The statistics are more unfavorable for average investors, who have generated a modest annualized return of 1.9% from 1998 to 2018, in comparison to the S&P 500’s gain of 5.6% during the same period.
The primary reason an average investor underperforms the broader market is their high level of risk aversion towards investing in a bearish market. On the other hand, legendary investors like Warren Buffett take phases of economic uncertainty as an opportunity to build stakes in the best long-term stocks at cheap valuations. Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:OXY) is the most recent example of how Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:BRK-B) has built up a 20% stake in the company and even received the go-ahead from the regulators to buy up to half of the company. The most recent purchase of 5.99 million shares for nearly $352 million between September 26 and September 28 took place after the Houston, Texas-based energy company lost more than 20% of its value in the previous month due to the broader market decline. Mr. Buffett not only owns over 20% of the outstanding shares of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:OXY) but also owns $10 billion worth of preferred shares of the company that generates $800 million in dividends annually.
For investors looking to get rich in the next five to 10 years, they should look at the best long-term stocks that are either at the inflection point from the bottom or at the start of a cyclical trend. While big-cap companies like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) offer security, in the long run, there are many small companies that have the potential to expand significantly in the next decade, and generate exponential returns for the investors.

“During the quarter, the Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund entered into such a transaction by purchasing the common stock of InvenTrust Properties at prices below where the company had offered to repurchase shares via a tender offer. However, unlike traditional “risk arbitrageurs”, Fund Management’s intentions were to forego the buyback in anticipation of more value being recognized as the management team executed on its business plan for this recently listed business.
Founded in 2004, InvenTrust Properties Corp. (“InvenTrust”) historically operated as a privately-held Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) that invested in a diverse set of commercial properties. However, the entity seemingly initiated a process to create liquidity for its investor base around 2015 when it internalized its management agreement with Inland Real Estate Group and subsequently spun-off its hotel assets (Xenia Corp.) and office properties (Highland REIT) into separate companies. The remaining shopping center portfolio served to form the InvenTrust platform, which was finally listed as a publiclytraded REIT during the quarter.
At the time of the listing, InvenTrust controlled nearly 10 million square feet of predominantly grocery-anchored retail properties that were approximately 93% occupied and located in select Sunbelt markets including Austin, Miami, Raleigh, and Tampa. The company also had very modest debt levels allowing it to launch a “tender offer” to purchase up to 4.0 million shares to support the transition to the public markets…” (Click here to see the full text)

“Another name with a nice dividend yield, attractive valuation and significant shareholder alignment is clothing retailer The Buckle (NYSE:BKE).

In each of the last 27 consecutive calendar years, The Buckle has generated positive free cash flow (not “adjusted” free cash flow), something that few companies can say.
