I bought Johnson and Johnson about 10 years ago. Talk about a solid comapny! Even with all the ups and downs in the market it returned an average of 12%-17% per year..It has been one of the top stocks the past decade and with the baby boomers aging it shows no signs of slowing down.

Freeper CROSSHIGHWAYMAN told me about these a while back:

AHR, AXM, EDF, HCM, HGT, CARS

I don't have a position in any of them, but look 'em up. Cheap stocks that have performed well. I think he was doing what a lot of folks have been doing: taking positions in gold and defense stocks.

I recently took chances on Curtiss-Wright(CW) and Helmerich and Payne(HP). What I liked about them were their low p/e's, low debt, and that they pay dividends.

Well run? - What is your definition?

Honest? - There are none!

Gold mining stocks will do well today. Everything else is pretty dicey.

At one time, I thought I did -- like JNJ, but all this makes anyone pretty scared.

Southwest Airlines (LUV) is a solid, well run, profit-making company, the only airline I would buy, now or ever. Honda (HMC) is undervalued at the moment (a super buy) and is a great, stable company that makes quality cars. Home Depot (HD) has a zillion stores and is consistently in the black. Fannie Mae (FNM) has a huge projected earnings per share and is backed by the feds.

Don't listen to Comrade Tuco -- he's still mad that communism fell.
