    if you examine the top 20 stocks in the S&P from 1957-2003 with dividends reinvested, 18 of the 20 were either consumer goods or pharma. ONE stocks beat EVERY other stock by almost 4 times. Altria

    PBJ: Food and Beverage Stocks Stand Out Despite Consumer Slowdown [view article]
    I have started building a posn. in the Cadbury spin-off Dr Pepper/Snapple (DPS) I would think this and maybe a few other ETF's would have to start adding this to their portfolios in 3-6 months, that should help give the stock good support and raise the price somewhat. Reply

    Tobacco, Water, drugs (meds), etc - defensive stocks may be a good buy, but people seem to be reluctant to purchase because when they do , the profit takers come along and snatch up the gains and it is back on the bottom again. So how defensive are they after all ??? I thought Crammer said the Altria stock would be up $90 by April of this year and than he cut back to $80!!!!! It hardly gets up to 72 - combined -Altria with PMI - before it's back down to 70 -7l where it seems to spend its life.!!!! Profit takers, ie, insurance companies that have to pay out annuities and other such companies that need to have cash flow have to hire special employees to profit take as stocks generally elsewhere are down. Who wants to invest in these defensive stocks just to see the next day their money is gone and on and on it goes.
    Crammer need to find another line of work. Causes too many people to lose money!!!!!!!!!! Stupid I was to listen to him !!!!!!

    I agree. I'd still do some fundamental analysis to confirm the stock is not over valued but most millionaires I know built wealth by creating companies that sell what people need and often have little choice in consuming irrespective of the economy or the price. Reply

    Agreed. Whenever I buy a stock I evaluate if I personally would use their products/services, and under what circumstances. Sometimes some of the more stable stocks out there and for boring things right under your nose. For example: concrete

    Are you aware of Stock-Encyclopedia.com (etf.stock-encyclopedia.../), which has a nice listing of ETFs. They are categorized somewhat differently from this listing, though. Reply

    Thanks for the articlo, I vote for a new portfolio. If you find this interesting, you could compare how an asset allocation portfolio of the major asset classes would be weighted differently based on modern portfolio theory v. post-modern portfolio theory. Cheers! Reply

    Good stuff, Roger. But I'd like to see what you can come up with for today's investor that isn't so sector specific. Given today's market, what ETFs would you use for an all-around asset allocation based on market cap, foreign and domestic participation, and assuming a moderately aggressive investor? Thanks Reply
