Hi, Fred. I'm an options swing trader, and have never been one to buy and hold stock. That said, I should probably put at least a portion of my portfolio into blue chip/dividend stocks. Which ones do you like? Yes, I understand you're not a licensed broker, don't have a crystal ball, can't take responsibility for trades I make, blah, blah, blah. I'm a big boy and can take responsibility for my own actions. Just looking for recommendations from someone with skin in the game. Thanks in advance. And I suppose anyone else that wants to chime in with their favorites, have at it. Long term securities only, please - I've got my hands full with speculative plays.
