I own a few shares of AA. Taking a big hit so far. Waiting to come up.
Its boring stock though. Good for very long term.

BAC is garbage.

SI (Siemens)...sort of like GE (which I also think is good) but has the advantage of being an overall stronger company (IMO) plus beaten down fairly ridiculously due to only somewhat related debt crisis issues.

I own shares of both BG and ADM. I would recommend BG over ADM at this time, but ADM is a good longterm holding IMHO.

BG, Schwab A rating
1.77% DY
Forward P/E 8.19
DGR 10.0%
Price-to-Cash Flow 3.20
Price-to-Sales 0.18
Price-to-Book 0.80

ADM, Schwab C rating
2.33% DY
Forward P/E 4.27, but it looks a bit fishy (trailing P/E is ~9)
DGR 10.9%
Price-to-Cash Flow 6.19
Price-to-Sales 6.19
Price-to-Book 1.02

Food food food....now if we could only find an equivalent proxy for water water water.

I agree but Apple sold record IPhone 4S so hopefully they will beat next quarter. I still think AAPL may have a good run at least to $500. I would also include a mutual fund, USAGX. It is a excellent long term hold. It has brought in some great returns at the 10-15 year mark.

Other stocks that are good
CMG
GOOG
T
MCD

ETR-Entergy Corp. This is an energy company. 5% Dividend. It is currently a value and has had some recent upward movement to suggest it is likely to keep moving up.
