I think all of them are great for a 5 year hold, I have seen too many DOW stocks in the last decade drop so hard only to run extremely high after they we so oversold.
MCD early 2003 dropped to $13-$15 a share, today $60
MO early 2003 dropped to $28-$30 a share, ran 4 years later $85 a share.
MRK Oct 2005 dropped to $26 early 2008 $60.00
PG early 2003 dropped $40-$42 late 2007 $70+
HON Sept 2002 $20-$22 July 2007 $60-$61
I think all those you mentioned, PFE, C, GE and GM will all be higher within 5 years.
And think of this, how can you go wrong when all 4 pay GREAT DIVIDENDS
PFE 6.9%
C 6%
GE 4%
GM 5.9%
I say buy these and dont look at them till 2013.
