Goldman Sachs ( (GS))It is a very good company. It has the highest timing rating and a highest safety rating in the Value Line.

Kraft ( (KFT))Stable company. The year ahead does not look too enticing, but after that, in 3-5 year range the stock should grow fast, 3-5 year outlook: 15-20% peryear, as per Value Line.

Consol Energy ( (CNX))I think coal industry looks interesting. Consol is one of the safest bets. Value Line gives it a above average (2) timeliness and it’s average safety. 3-5: 7-16% per year.

Peabody Energy ( (BTU))It’s also a coal player. It’s the biggest private coal company. It has the highest timeliness and considered average in safety, according to Value Line. Three to five year: 12-23% yearly.

United Technologies ( (UTX))It was featured on Barrons. I like United. It’s a stable company. Barron’s thinks that it has years of good growth ahead.
