IBM Remains Number One On The Dow
Since we last presented the top Dow picks on November 17th, we see little turnover for our DOW top-ten list. IBM retains its top spot for the second-consecutive month. We only have three new stocks: Goldman Sachs, American Express, and Traveler's. Our newcomers replaced Johnson and Johnson, Intel, and Caterpillar.
Within our top-ten list, JPMorgan Chase and Verizon managed to move up a few spots. Cisco Systems, United Health, Wal-Mart, and Merck all declined a few positions.
Within the remaining eight unchanged components, Cisco, United Health, and JPMorgan Chase climbed up along with IBM. Johnson and Johnson, Intel, and Merck declined along with Verizon.
Also, be advised that once again we have no STRONG BUY-rated stocks in the DOW right now. Traveler's and Merck are currently rated as HOLDs by our models. The top-eight other DOW companies are BUY-rated stocks.
