For those who don't want to slog through the articles and find the link, here's Fortune's picks for 2016.
Stocks:
Transports / Airlines
Delta Airlines (DAL)
Virgin America (VA)
Healthcare
Merck (MRK)
Biogen (BIIB)
Turnarounds/Comebacks
DuPont (DD)
Volkswagen (VLKAY)
Wynn Resorts (WYNN)
Finance
Charles Schwab (SCHW)
Capital One (COF)
Energy
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
TransCanada (TRP)
Technology
Alphabet (GOOG)
Microsoft (MSFT)
ETFs:
U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS)
Health Care Select SPDR (XLV)
SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE)
The only ones that interest me are BIIB, MSFT and XOM despite my affection for out-of-favor, beaten-down stocks.
I own MSFT as long as they keep those delicious dividend hikes coming. Would like to add XOM to mine or my wife's portfolio someday. Would also add BIIB here but I/we already own enough ABBV/JNJ/GILD/AMGN and it doesn't even pay a dividend.

I have been thinking about what companies to invest in the coming year--so far I've been looking into Magna Int'l, Donaldson Co., and Qualcom. I will most likely only add 2 new companies within my ROTH and reinvest the rest of the dollars into existing holdings. ADM is something I'm considering for my brokerage account as a new investment, otherwise not sure, most likely building up my current holdings. Hard to say, I like keeping overall investment percentages in the 2 to 3% range, my KMI investment really had no bearing on my portfolio. In fact, I would like to see KMI take another hit before adding more dollars because I still believe in the business.
Kerim, I was wondering why you posted this link in the "Off Topic" section?
