I will give you some great pics. You can hold me to it in 2 years as well.
For the record, you mentioned DUK, I like this as a conservative long term play. I love FE and SO as well too as do many others as of late. You can't go wrong with any of these but DUK has more upside than the other 2 IMO (upgraded today actually).
Me, I'd certainly consider Becton Dickenson (BDX), a well-performing steady stock that few know about.
Disclaimer, I own shares in this stock. It's done very well over the past ten years, outperforming BAX and JNJ.
Unless our nation and our people start getting healthy, medical supply companies will continue to do well now and into the foreseeable future.
from the company description: Becton, Dickinson and Company, a medical technology company, develops, manufactures, and sells medical devices, instrument systems, and reagents worldwide. The company’s BD Medical segment produces medical devices, such as needles, syringes, and intravenous catheters for medication delivery; prefilled IV flush syringes; syringes and pen needles for use in the treatment of diabetes; prefillable drug delivery systems; anesthesia needles and trays; sharps disposal containers; closed-system transfer devices; and generic prefilled injectables. Its BD Diagnostics segment provides products for the collection and transportation of diagnostics specimens; and instruments and reagent systems to detect a range of infectious diseases, healthcare-associated infections, and cancers.
I already have money tied up in a Fidelity investment, but I want to just buy 1 company's stock right now. I plan on holding it at least 10 years and the reason for only one is I don't want a bunch of stuff to keep an eye on. I'm thinking about energy or big pharma like Duke energy or Pfizer or maybe something like Stryker. What would you buy in this scenario?
One stock for ten years.
Buy a large cap bluechipper that pays a good dividend. Pfe, jnj, pg, vz, t, cvx, you get the idea.
NCR = More and more financial institutions and other transaction industries utilizing NCR technologies to reduce overhead expenditures. I hate to see people loosing their jobs but technology is not quitting and co.s do not care so they will purchase software/ hardware applications that reduce workforce to improve earnings while reducing expenses. I have been a victim myself to technology improvements so if I can't stop it, I might as well make money on the change that is occurring.
I currently own...
Disney - It's a very solid company with some great recent acquisitions
Facebook - This is my speculative stock, if they can ever figure out how to monetize their 600+ billion active users, I want to own it before it happens
Netflix - They are the future of television and they are the best of the breed
News Corp - Conservatives are glued to Fox News and they also have very popular shows
Ruger - They make the best guns and cannot keep up with demand
Apple - They have solid fundamentals and a good dividend yield
I like gun companies, I know nothing about ruger but looking at the year chart looks like its been on a constant downturn all year. Any reason why that is? You think now is a good time to buy or going lower?
I'd invest into various 3-D printing companies; within 10 years 3-D printers will be fairly common therefore the shares of those companies will increase.
3d printing is most definately the future, however the market is waaaayyyy too segmented. There's really no standards as far as the type of technology that will move forward. Its kind of like the whole blueray vs high def dvd thing. You had some people buying xboxs with hddvd and others buying blueray and sny playstations. As soon as blue ray became the technology the hddvd was worthless. I see 3d printing being in the same place right now
