Good, reliable stocks?

Question

What are some good and reliable stocks that anyone knows of?

Answer 1

good is a very relative term, depends on the individual. Reliable woould really never go with stocks. No stock is guarenteed to maintain value. Generally big comapnies like GE, Boeing, IBM, Catterpillar, ALCOA are generally good. However, if you look at returns, stocks like GOOG, Starbucks, etc are great

Answer 2

2 stocks I own are CHK and FPL.

CHK - Chesapeak Energy is a natural gas company
FPL - Florida Power and Light is an electric utility & wind energy company.

These are good steady companies. If you are looking for investment ideas, I think the first thing you should do is look at what the best traders are buying. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.

Without knowing anything about you or your situation, its hard to recomment. HOwever, generally you can't go wrongf with large cap stocks that pay dividends. i.e. Citicorp, GE, J&J, McDonalds,
Pfizer etc.
