Invest in Something Strong

Stocks That Cannot Be Stopped

There are some companies that the Motley Fool recognizes as having fiscal strength. These Seven Companies (US Bancorp, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck, United Technologies, Boeing, and Emerson Electric) have a long time investment advantage with dividend reinvestment. These companies have been paying dividends without interruption for at least 50 years. They have lived through World War I, The Great Depression, World War II, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, The OPEC oil embargo, Stagflation, The Persian Gulf War, and Sept. 11, 2001. I feel the Motley Fool is encouraging to buy stock in the listed companies because they are able to make it through the ups and downs of the economy.
