The company shows a number of positive investment measures, including its solid stock performance, notable return on equity and impressive cash flow from operations.
These strengths outweigh Johnson's low profit margins.

Here's my $0.02.
With a clear head, start by asking yourself this question: who has invested succesfully and consistently year after year? You will have an extremely small list of *consitently succesfull investors. One name that will ubdoubtedly come up is Warren Buffet. If you're going to take advice, why not take advice form the best? He is the man who knows.
Read up on how he did it. Many of his methods are very straight forward. If you read diligently, you will be led to a publication called "Value Line".
Although this is a very expensive publication, it is free to reference at any major library. This is a great starting point and you can look up the companies you listed and see if they might Buffet's criteria. Buffet uses Value Line.
". . .a perfect snapshot that tells you very quickly what kind of business you are looking at." -Warren Buffet, Source: http://www.valueline.com/why_use_why.html
The Dow 30 is available for free here; this will give you an idea of the kind of 10-15 year data that is published:

Forums are a bad idea for stock advice. Forums that specialize in stocks and investing almost *always degenerate into being dominated by blowhards and scammers who have an agenda of pushing their stock.

I've never followed these but Johnson Controls' trendline on a long-term chart is fabulous, which is enough to get me interested. I think it could be a good hedge against rising energy prices, and the numbers on the company look decent. Thanks for the tip.
The other two I can't find the symbols.

Your idea of doing stock research is asking total strangers, with no idea of their qualifications (or motives) where to invest your money.
Stop. Don't invest for a year. Learn investing (if you knew investing, you'd never be asking this question in this forum).
