1. AAPL - Apple Computer
AAPL is a bell weather - a stock and company that has continued to reflect innovation year after year. Currently AAPL has the highest market cap of any publicly traded company at over $2 Trillion! (yes trillion with a T). They have enough cash they could buy up several of this historical blue chip companies and still have cash to work with!
2020 was a solid year for AAPL which did a 4:1 stock split over the summer. The net result is a price that is once again fairly affordable for most traders.

"American Express, don't leave home without it!" At least that's what the old commercial used to say. AXP has been an excellent stock to trade with typical volatility swings of 40-50% or more. Both bullish and bearish opportunities abound with this trade.
Currently trading in the $130 range, both options traders and stock traders will find this to be a friendly ticker.

CAT makes those big yellow trucks and machines that we use to dig big holes in the ground to build stuff - you know, every little boy's dream!

Nothing says happy childhood like Disney. The magical world has been pleasing young audiences for decades. And it also pleases traders and investors.
DIS holds some of the biggest entertainment rights in the world. And with their recent release of the Disney streaming service they now enter the financial world of subscription revenue, which as NFLX has proven, is like cash flow gold.
