- I’m just a guy. I have no training or expertise in this stuff whatsoever. Take me seriously at your own peril.
- This is only a WATCH LIST. A jumping off point for further thought and research.
- You would laugh your butt off if you saw the inner workings of my rating system.
- On top of its crudeness, it omits lots of important things, like balance sheet information. That is stuff I research when I get closer to actually making a purchase.
- My universe of stocks is extremely small – at present there are only 29 companies that I am watching. So these are MERELY to top 10 of those 29.
- I update my data for each underlying stock haphazardly. For example, I haven’t bothered to update my numbers for SO since May.
Ok, with all of that out of the way, here they are, as of 11/13/13:
Ticker -- Score (out of 100)
1. AFL -- 78
2. PM -- 75
3. MO -- 73
4. COP -- 72
5. DE -- 72
6. XOM -- 70
7. WFC -- 68
8. CSCO -- 67
9. MSFT -- 65
10. LMT -- 64
Would love to see other folks' top 5 or 10 lists. Also, would love input as to which stocks I should add to my watch list universe of 29.
I am long CSCO and LMT on that list.
My list would include AAPL, O, CVX, PG, KMB, JNJ, WEC, WAG, OHI, BCE, GE, RCI and a few others utilities. I have partnerships with 36 companies and have a few on a watch list.
