History tells us ‘Hold’ is equal to wealth creation: 11 large- and mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 37%

Because we have the word “Hold ” in the headline, does it mean today’s list only has stocks where the analyst recommendation is “Hold”? No. But our headline says “Hold”, because, at a time the markets are volatile and bears are again on the prowl, the first instinct is to either buy to “average out” prices, or sell in order to protect profit. But in reality, the best action may well be no action. Just ignore what is happening in the market, whether it is noise about global events or even earnings. Just to put this in perspective. Remember February 2022? That was when Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine. There was panic and the global markets melted. Today, nobody even talks about the war that still rages on. So, if you are holding the right stock, it will pay off in the long term. Do just that: Hold.
