Long-term investing is one of the best ways for regular folks to grow wealth or build a fortune. Stocks, among other asset classes, are common choices. Besides their suitability to ride out the market’s highs and lows, the overall returns on a longer investment horizon are enormous.
There are five buying opportunities on the TSX right now. Each Canadian stock can reward investors with massive returns in a decade.
1. Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (TSX:BIP.UN)
An owner and operator of critical global infrastructure networks like Brookfield Infrastructure Partners is a compelling and relatively safe investment. In addition to its resilient nature, infrastructure assets have long economic lives, offer inflation protection, and provide certainty during uncertain times.
This $6.65 billion company operates globally and invests in essential infrastructure networks such as data, energy storage, freight, passengers, and water. If you invest today, this utility stock trades at $41.24 per share and pays a 5.41% dividend.
2. Computer Modelling Group (TSX:CMG)
Computer Modelling belongs to the tech sector but is a niche player in the energy industry. The business is profitable, evidenced by the increasing bottom line in the last three years (average $21.5 million). As of this writing, CMG trades at $13.01 per share, up 29.55% year to date. Prospective investors will partake in the modest 1.56% dividend.
