XOM, RDS.b, BP, ABBV, HTBK, CSCO

None of the ones you have listed lol

They all look like good buys but the market is still trading at almost 18x next years earnings. Plus you have to worry about yield curve and tariffs. Oil will become a buy at some point but I still think its too early. XOM is expensive still when you compare it to BP and CVX.

If I had to pick one would choose ABBV. Only because I think it will hold up over the other names and its pipeline had a lot of promise going forward. 

CSCO I do like but I will wait for 3% to get in.

Thanks, DivMeNow.  I don't want to buy/sell individual stocks based on what the overall market's P/E is, yield curve, tariffs, etc any macro-related stuff, really.  I buy individual companies and plan to hold them forever, so I'm trying to focus on business models, FCF generation, etc but nothing external.  Maybe I'm crazy though.  CSCO is at 2.96% yield, so basically there.  Also looking at PKBK but it hasn't really pulled back.
