One-Decision Stock

A stock that an investor buys and holds. That is, once an investor makes the one decision to buy the stock, he does not need to make a second decision to sell.

one-decision stock

A stock that can be bought and held indefinitely such that no second decision to sell is required. Selecting one-decision stock was a popular investment philosophy during the 1970s when institutional investors concentrated their funds on a limited number of high-quality growth stock such as IBM, Kodak, and Procter & Gamble. The essence of this investment philosophy is that, although temporary aberrations in the stock's price may occur, the stock should outperform the market over an extended period.
