One of the best parts about investing is that if you find a great company worth owning for the long term, things can actually get better over time. As that company grows, you have a good chance of being rewarded with share price growth, dividends, or some combination of both. Often, the rewards compound -- and get better -- the longer you hold the shares, just like a long-term relationship with your Valentine.
In honor of the rewards that can come from a successful long-term investment, three Motley Fool contributors went out in search of stocks they'd be willing to give to their own long-term Valentines. They picked Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR) , Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) , and Genuine Parts (NYSE: GPC) . Read on to find out why, and decide for yourself whether any of them just might be one you'd be willing to have and hold.
