WITH THAT IN MIND -- I'd love to see "you all" post up some names and the reasons you think they're a good candidate for ownership.... let's get it up to 10 names -- a basic "portfolio" if you will.... and see what that looks like??
Kind of a "on paper" investment club??

Other than the stocks you have identified in prior posts as good candidates, I have three that I would like your thought on.
United Technologies (UTX)
10 year price increase 135% (good chart); Dividend increased 291% over last ten years, and good EPS growth rate. Dividend rate 2.65%
Lockhead Martin (LMT)
Like it for the same reasons as UTX, but has even larger increases in price, dividend growth and EPS growth than UTX. Dividend Rate higher than many of the stocks that were discussed at 4.95%. However, this company relies heavily on government contracts. Does that make it too risky?
Travelers Group (TRV)
Insurance play; Has had less of a price increase and dividend increase than either UTX or LMT. Dividend rate 2.77%.
