Here's an interesting article "Your Guide TO The Best And Worst Stocks In The Dow" that list what one could consider to be all good stocks......at least IMO.

FWIW - NKE in last place on this list I bought 25 shares in '97, splits left me with 100 shares and 555% gain.
We won't talk about the 100 shares I bought in '76 for $5 and sold when I'd double my money at $10. Life would be much different now if I would have held on to that $500 investment.
