These 20 individual U.S. Stocks 🇺🇸 I intend to hold them for a long time as an investment geared toward value stocks and creating a steady and growing passive income, including several Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings that flank higher dividend-paying Business Development Companies (BDCs) so as to make up in part for the relative low distributions of many of the more defensive stocks in the 20 selected Stocks.
