Welcome to Episode #75 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast.

Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life.

In this episode, Tracey is joined by Kevin Matras, Vice President at Zacks.com, the Editor of the Options Trader service and Zacks biggest perma-bull.

For the last 8 years, he’s been bullish on stocks but he’s even more bullish going forward.

Why does he think stocks could move higher even still?

And does Tracey think he’s crazy?

Tracey and Kevin also discuss how difficult it is to think about buying stock in companies that you will hold for years to come. But if you had to do it, they talk about 5 stocks you could buy if you’ve got a long-term time horizon.

Stocks to Buy for the Next 5 Years

1.       Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) : Tracey likes it because of the growth in YouTube. YouTube is just 12 years old and its now beginning to really generate revenue, especially as it launches its own subscription services. Alphabet is nearly 20 years old and it’s still generating nearly 20% revenue growth a year.

2.       CME Group (CME - Free Report) : It’s expected to see double digit growth this year. The exchanges are big business and Kevin believes it’s only going to get better. It already is producing trading volume records and commodities, which have been down in the dumps, are only just beginning to rebound.

3.       PacWest Bancorp is a $6 billion midcap regional California bank. As the Fed raises interest rates, the banks will see a rise in earnings. Banks are where you want to be if growth is picking up in the economy. This bank, in addition to being located in the 6th largest economy in the world in California, also pays a dividend yielding 3.9%.

Tracey and Kevin discuss two more stocks that they believe you might want to take a look at for the long haul.

With all the talk of social media and platforms, did they include recent IPO Snapchat (SNAP - Free Report) in their list of recommendations?

Find out the answer to this and more on this week’s podcast.
