Picks for 2014

[billyjoe]

Here are my top 10 for 2014. Maybe I'm crazy since all were up big in 2013 and I'm betting it continues.

BA---demand for 35,000 planes worth 4.8 trillion, can't keep up with demand 174,000 employees and expanding Top DJIA stock 2013 up 84%. Div. 2.14%

UTX--218,000 employees up 42% in '13. Pays 2.07% div.

JNJ---128,000 employees 2013 up 34%, 2.88% div.

MA----I always find a reason not to buy . It just keeps going up, 71% in 2013. ROA 25%

CVS---Already #1 in their industry. Obama care will make it better. 203,000 employees, up 50% last year pays 1.26%

AAL---Airlines finally looking good. Merger with US Air makes it a monster, up 87% in 2013, 78,000 employees

HPQ---Actually rated higher than AAPL, +101% last year Pays 2.07%

SBUX---Another I never bought mostly because I don't drink coffee. Thousands of stores worldwide tell me I'm wrong +48% in '13 pays 1.33%

LM------This might as well be the financial to dominate in 2014, up 72% last year pays 1.2% div.

TSLA-------What the heck, their plan is more and more cars, lower and lower prices, solar and electrical fuel instead of gas. Only up 344% in 2013

Most will hate this list and it could turn into a total disaster, but these big names can't be ignored.

billy,

Your picks in 2013 did well - no reason to believe that 2014 will be any different.

Perhaps we should get everyone's (2) favorite stocks for 2014 - then put $1000 into each of them and see how the "MrMarket Best of 2014" mutual fund does for the year. What do you think?

Mimo, The more input the better. Just think of the stocks we've never heard of before posted by Mr.Market and others that become great winners. If I could pick just 2 it would be CVS and AAL.

OK -- Here is the list - just add onto it when you post

billy - AAL
billy - CVS
mimo - CREE
mimo - SSYS

[billyjoe]

Mimo, Still not convinced with 3-D printing but I almost had SSYS on my list. I think it will either go way up or collapse in 2014 along with DDD.

I often try to keep the engineering side of me a bit suppressed. I often think I should have been a actuarian or a MBA major or a outdoor adventurer but alas I am a civil engineer and sometimes that side comes out. It just happens that I was reading an article about 3D printing in the Engineer News Record (ENR) a magazine publication for construction and engineering professionals just the other day. The article discussed the future possibilities with construction and 3D printing. Interesting indeed. Realistic, anything is possible I guess but I figure such things as posted in this article is quite a ways out.
All this talks about 3D printing, I figure I should share it.

Mimo, We could call it MMFMC (Mr. Market's fine meats & cheeses) fund. It will be more huge than the DJIA.
