If I was to only own one stock long term it would be BA all the way! BA is insane, they're basically a monopoly in aviation and seemingly get multibillion-dollar military contracts on a weekly basis. Their dividend is nothing to sneeze at either, I believe it's around 2.6% or there about.
Some other stocks that I believe are worthy of mention are GOOG, NOC, and LMT but I'd go with BA all day long.
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?
Depends on a lot of things, without analyzing the market, and what your strategy is it's hard for anyone to say. Because you are asking for any old stock that means you have no insight to technical analysis, and neither does anyone that suggested a stock. The idea is to do what the market is telling you it's doing, and trade off of that, instead of having a monetary goal for one particular trade, that is just an indirect event that occurs when one makes the right trade.
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
Interesting to see this old thread pop up again...
Take your pick on any quality name in the energy sector now, because you will be making good money within next 2-3 years. If I had to pick one name right now with major upside potential it would be CHK (which I did buy at the end of August around $6.30).
xom is my choice for a long term play . if we have sell off Thursday after the fed releases its info i will buy some .
i think they will benefit a lot as marginal producers are driven out of business and they will acquire the better ones .
i rarely buy individual stocks but i think at a lower price xom will be worth it .
XOM, CVX, COP, BP, etc. take your pick, you will be making good money within next 2-3 years. People will be saying shoulda coulda woulda about wishing they bought more quality energy plays, much like the 20/20 hindsight for wishing to buy more end of 2008-early 2009 for broader markets.
