While Mark Twain once remarked, \"Buy land, they're not making it anymore,\" water is an even more scarce resource, andAmerican States Water(NYSE:AWR)is tasked with mostly providing Southern California with clean water and electricity.<blockquote>“三法则”对生存至关重要：没有空气你可以生存三分钟，没有水你可以生存三天，没有食物你可以生存三周。虽然马克·吐温曾经说过，“买土地，他们再也买不起了”，但水是一种更加稀缺的资源，而且美国各州水（纽约证券交易所股票代码：AWR）的任务主要是为南加州提供清洁的水和电。</blockquote>Water generation makes up the lion's share of its business, representing over two-thirds of American States' operating revenue in 2020, but another 25% comes from providing military installations around the country with water as well, and those are under long-term, 50-year contracts. Electricity makes up the rest of its revenue.<blockquote>水力发电占其业务的最大份额，占 2020 年美国各州营业收入的三分之二以上，但另外 25% 来自为全国各地的军事设施供水，这些设施都是根据长期的、50 年的合同。电力占其收入的其余部分。</blockquote>That allows American States Water to provide significant stability to investors. While it might not generate especiallyexciting capital appreciation, it makes up for it with steady dividend growth.<blockquote>这使得美国各州能够为投资者提供显著的稳定性。虽然它可能不会产生特别令人兴奋的资本增值，但它可以通过稳定的股息增长来弥补这一点。</blockquote>The water utility has paid dividends for over 81 consecutive years and has increased the payouts each year for 66 years. That puts it among an elite group of stocks known asDividend Kings, which are companies that have raised their dividend payments for 50 years or more. The surety of its payout may be one reason you will never want to sell American States Water stock either.<blockquote>该自来水公司已连续 81 年以上支付股息，并且 66 年来每年都增加股息。这使其跻身被称为股息之王的精英股票之列，这些公司在 50 年或更长时间内一直提高股息支付。其支出的保证可能是您永远不想出售美国各州水务股票的原因之一。</blockquote>Colgate-Palmolive<blockquote>高露洁棕榄</blockquote>The strength ofColgate-Palmolive(NYSE:CL)is found in its portfolio of name brand consumer products -- everything from its leading toothpaste and dish washing liquids to Ajax, Murphy Oil, and Tom's of Maine. These are essential consumer and household goods people naturally reach for in good times and bad.<blockquote>的力量高露洁棕榄（纽约证券交易所股票代码：CL）出现在其知名品牌消费品产品组合中，从领先的牙膏和洗洁精到 Ajax、Murphy Oil 和 Tom's of Maine。这些都是人们在顺境和逆境中自然会接触到的基本消费品和家庭用品。</blockquote>There's comfort in knowing a product will perform time and again, and thatlegacy extends internationally&nbsp;where Colgate derives some 70% of its revenue and where it also has leading brands in most categories.<blockquote>知道一种产品会一次又一次地表现出色是一种安慰，而且这种遗产延伸到了国际上，高露洁约70%的收入来自高露洁，并且在大多数类别中也拥有领先品牌。</blockquote>Yet many investors turn to Colgate-Palmolive because of its enviable record in paying a dividend. It made its first payout in 1895 and never stopped, and then began increasing the dividend every year beginning in 1963, meaning for nearly 60 years investors could count on a rising stream of income from the consumer products giant.<blockquote>然而，许多投资者转向高露洁棕榄，因为其令人羡慕的股息支付记录。该公司于 1895 年首次派息，并且从未停止过，然后从 1963 年开始每年增加股息，这意味着近 60 年来，投资者可以指望这家消费品巨头带来不断增长的收入流。</blockquote>A stellar track record, a solid financial base, and a global reach are just some of the reasons why Colgate is a fixture in my portfolio.<blockquote>出色的业绩记录、坚实的财务基础和全球影响力只是高露洁成为我投资组合中固定资产的部分原因。</blockquote>ExxonMobil<blockquote>埃克森美孚</blockquote>Due to innovations in the oil and gas industry and massive new fields discovered, the dire predictions of so-called \"peak oil\" have largely faded from the headlines, but the global pandemic revealed the ways in which industry majors likeExxonMobil(NYSE:XOM)are still vulnerable.<blockquote>由于石油和天然气行业的创新和大量新油田的发现，所谓“石油峰值”的可怕预测已基本从头条新闻中消失，但全球疫情揭示了行业巨头喜欢的方式埃克森美孚（纽约证券交易所股票代码：XOM）仍然脆弱。</blockquote>That it took nearly all the world's governments virtually closing down their economies to weaken the oil and gas giant, however, shows just how enduring its business really is. There may be a movement toward greener energy, but fossil fuel demand is going to be a key component of our everyday life for decades to come.<blockquote>然而，几乎世界上所有的政府都几乎关闭了经济来削弱这家石油和天然气巨头的实力，这表明它的业务实际上是多么持久。可能会有一场走向绿色能源的运动，但化石燃料需求将成为未来几十年我们日常生活的关键组成部分。</blockquote>Still, Exxon is going to be a slimmer operation than it was in years past. Cost-cutting measures rule the day in an effort to rein in the significant mountain of debt it has accumulated from its capital intensive exploration and development projects. Low oil prices caused it to shelve most initiatives for the time being, but as economies reopen and demand is reignited, higher pricing will help alleviate the concerns many hold about its ability to meet its obligations.<blockquote>尽管如此，埃克森美孚的运营规模仍将比过去几年更加精简。削减成本措施占据主导地位，以努力控制其资本密集型勘探和开发项目积累的巨额债务。低油价导致其暂时搁置了大多数举措，但随着经济重新开放和需求重新点燃，更高的定价将有助于缓解许多人对其履行义务能力的担忧。</blockquote>One of those is its dividend. Unlike other oil majors, Exxon maintained that not cutting it was an imperative. 2020 was thefirst time in 18 yearsit did not raise the payout. However, because dividends for the calendar year were higher than the prior year, the company continues to be considered aDividend Aristocratas it has been for nearly four decades.<blockquote>其中之一就是它的股息。与其他石油巨头不同，埃克森美孚坚称不削减石油是当务之急。2020 年是 18 年来 SIT 首次没有提高派息。然而，由于日历年的股息高于上一年，近四十年来，该公司继续被视为股息贵族。</blockquote>I'm betting ExxonMobil is going to be around a lot longer than most green-tinted companies that are trying to supplant it, and I plan to hang on for the long term.<blockquote>我敢打赌，埃克森美孚的存在时间将比大多数试图取代它的绿色公司长得多，我计划长期坚持下去。</blockquote>Should you invest $1,000 in Exxon Mobil Corporation right now?<blockquote>您现在应该向埃克森美孚公司投资 1,000 美元吗？</blockquote>Before you consider Exxon Mobil Corporation, you'll want to hear this.<blockquote>在您考虑埃克森美孚公司之前，您会想听听这个。</blockquote>Investing legends and Motley Fool Co-founders David and Tom Gardner just revealed what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy right now... and Exxon Mobil Corporation wasn't one of them.<blockquote>投资传奇人物和 Motley Fool 联合创始人 David 和 Tom Gardner 刚刚透露了他们认为10只最佳股票投资者现在就买……埃克森美孚公司不在其中。</blockquote>The online investing service they've run for nearly two decades,Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has beaten the stock market by over 4X.* And right now, they think there are 10 stocks that are better buys.<blockquote>他们经营了近二十年的在线投资服务，Motley Fool 股票顾问已超过股市 4 倍以上。* 目前，他们认为有 10 只股票更值得购买。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks I'm Never Selling<blockquote>我从不出售的 3 只股票</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Stocks I'm Never Selling<blockquote>我从不出售的 3 只股票</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nThe motley fool2021-05-04 10:40\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nI've fully bought into the Warren Buffett axiom of \"the best time to sell a stock is never,\" but as we also all know, never say never.
