BUY:

Walmart

I read somewhere Wallys represents about 8% of US retail sales, thus I use their reporting as more of a broad indicator.  But their core business is great – they sport an awesome dividend roughly @ 2.72% and are global.  I am a big proponent of dividends for retirement investing and dont see this firm going away anytime soon.

Price target  $52.00

Waste Management

When was the last time you hauled your regular trash to the dump?  Never! When you think about it, you probably never will.  This firm provides a service that is more recession resistant then needing a haircut.  With a 3.76% yield.

Price target  $34.50

Cisco Systems

Leader in the network routing space, management I believe is what is holding this firm back.   Currently price is consolidating the $15 range, but this has happened in the past leading to make me think any investment with in Cisco should be hedged properly.  Prices now are near the March ’09 levels thus it could be a bargain buy.  Another thing to note is that with all the new computing devices (tablets, etc..) routing and switching devices will be more and more important to enterprise environments.

Price Target $15.50 or better

Disclosure – I do not hold any of these companies directly – but may hold them indirectly via managed fund accts.  Do not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.  I am not an investment advisor, contact one if you have questions.
