The Best Stocks for the Long Term
An article by Jeremy Siegel on Yahoo! Finance on April 20th, 2006 gives some savy investment advice. Get into some blue chips.
The table below lists the twenty best-performing of the original S&P 500 firms that have survived since the index was formed almost 50 years ago. If you were lucky enough to own a portfolio of these 20 stocks, you would have beaten the S&P 500 by more than 4.5% per year and seen your wealth grow eight times the level it would have grown to in the S&P 500...Interestingly, virtually all of these stocks, despite their history of remarkable returns, have reasonable P-E ratios today. The average forward looking P-E ratio of these twenty stocks is currently 16.33x, which is only one point higher than the S&P 500.
blue chips are boring...get into some emerging markets. plus, with the dollar about to go into crisis and commodities already at astronomical prices, where else are you going to put your money? Real Estate? that bubble is already about to pop...or at least deflate.
good luck, cowboy.
yah
blue chips are safe

but then BAM would be able to figure out who I am

oil & gas
I guess this finally panned out to be true... real estate did pop and emerging markets is EXACTLY where we were supposed to be from 2009 till now.
blue chips are safe .....
