    Well, the author DID say these were the most interesting stocks of the year...not necessarily the best buys.

    DOW currently has an unsustainable dividend. I'm anxiously awaiting their Q4 earnings report as I don't believe they will be able to continue paying the dividend without dipping into their cash. Four cents profit per share last quarter. If profit slips any more, they'll have to cut the dividend. That's when we'll see DOW bottom.

    S is a company that appears to me to be in trouble. They could be next asking for a bailout. Seriously, anyone look at their profit margin for Q3? -83%, and you want to know why? Because they have lagged way behind their competition. I have to believe that a company's product has some semblence of an ability to compete before I'll invest. Right now, Verizon is the far superior product. That said, I'm not about to invest in Verizon either. They have a debt load that is staggering, but at least they are turning a profit.
