What is your forever stock. Invest and forget?!?

Not talking about index funds or ETFs, but that stock that you will regret not investing in as we close 2020? The Apple of today? Thx!

I bought Peloton at $27. I could only afford to put in $3000 at the time and had planned on putting more in later in the year, but the price has gone up so much since then that I’ve missed the boat myself!

Just food for thought: when I bought a healthy (about one year’s salary) slug of Apple in the 2012-2014 period...all the things you read online said that it’s best days were over...it was already the largest company in the world!...now it’s like “can’t get much bigger than $2 Trillion!”...but here’s the thing, you don’t need it to be bigger than $2T to earn an ok return...if it is volatile and they repurchase shares at their current clip...it’s highly likely they could earn at least 7% annual and still be at a $2T market cap a decade from now by shrinking their shares outstanding by close to that rate. That’s actually pretty conservative, but I don’t expect anywhere near the 8 bagger I’ve had the last 6-8 years going forward the next 8 years. It’ll do ok, and that’s enough for me. Back when I bought it on an EV to revenue basis, Apple’s revenues were priced in line with the average S&P500 company (something like two times revenue if I remember correctly) and I thought that was insane because I’d rather have their high profit margin and defensible and broadly distributed revenues than the average revenues any day...BUT the comparison is not the same today...it’s probably close to 2-3 times pricier through that lens...I think it is fair to be priced higher than it was and if they execute their bundle strategy well then I think we can see better than market returns from here...but it isn’t the slam dunk that it was. I’d actually be thrilled if it dropped 50% or more as long as the company remained successful and executed well because then the share buyback would be much more effective. That being said...I haven’t found another company since then that I was confident enough in to invest six figures(ok technically, I also own six figures of Berkshire, but that really doesn’t feel the same being that it is really like hundreds of businesses)...until about two months ago. I’m not going to tell you guys about it because it only trades an average daily volume of $100k or so and I don’t need anyone else trying to buy alongside me...wish me luck.

I’m new to bonds so apologies if the question seems basic.
I’d like to buy a bond etf through a brokerage account and would like to know how does the dividend and dividend yield work exactly.
For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?
