Warren Buffet says that, the favourite holding period is forever. Are there companies on NSE that one can trust and devot their investment to for life? What are some of these companies and what makes them viable for life long investment.

Cement will also be in demand

@Kyukkamba, for sure you are right on that.....though there are those companies that are unique to the locals and these may not face external or international competition and the local competition is far from nearing it..... again these are not seasonal or technology based which could suffer from fashion or technology change......demand is always there at good or bad times people will always use their products....

NONE! The longest safe holding should NEVER exceed 5 years. Always do you 'maths' on 5 year cycles. This is KENYA.

Putting 'KENYAN' factor's to a constant, then ALL qualify except NEVEREADY! with their crop of administrators.

Now you are thinking well. Here are the companies I would buy for my old age.

Jubilee- Aga Khan also never sells his controlling state and I trust his business acumen.

KenGen- We will forever need power. Running Dams is not easy matter for private compe.

KCB- Owns real estate assets which in the future can be used as collateral if not converted into prime office blocks.

KK- Well diversified around East and Southern Africa.

Eaagads- The land they sit on.

ScanGroup- A company that is usually on an acquisition spree becomes a monopoly. Add to the fact that it is going regional and etc. Adverts are here with us for a very long time.

Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.
When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.

EABL-Consistent profit growth.Even during high inflation times people still drink beer.
Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

The standard benchmark to gauge whether a stock could be held for life is that it should return 10 tens its value (including splits and dividends) cumulatively in 10 years.

Only 4 counters achieved this for the period 2001 - 2011. They are :-

(i) KCB
(ii) EABL
(iii) JUB
(iv) KPLC

Looking forward 2012 - 2022, KCB and EABL still qualify to be relied on. I will add KENOL in the list to make 3 counters.
