Sometimes in investing, you make your own luck. That tends to happen when you have a chance to buy a stake in a business with tremendous long term prospects at reasonable prices and then just let the market and the company work their magic together over time. Even with the generally rough market we've had since the beginning of 2022, there are signs of the market's long-term resilience when patient investors find those great companies to hold onto.

They chose Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) , Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) , and Genuine Parts (NYSE: GPC) . Read on to find out their thinking behind those choices and then decide for yourself if any of them might be the kind of business you'd like to see play a part in your own investing journey over time.
