That's why I'll repeatedly try to beat into you guys heads... real simple "Investing 102":
Good name that you know and understand their business
Good chart that marches higher over a long time frame
Good dividend
Reinvest the dividend (if you're not already retired)
Dividends increasing over a long period of time
Diversify until you have at least 15 names
The old KISS principal.
