Individual stocks I've bought over the last thirty years and still buy some of them.
Exxon- was given a few shares and just kept on buying.
Monsanto
McDonalds
Apple-same, was given ten shares a long time ago and just kept on buying for awhile. Haven't for several years but it's a cool little stash.
Sysco Systems
Hewlett Packard and IBM.
Ethyl-Now Albermarle
Monsanto and Exxon I've bought substantial chunks over the years.
I have regular and Roth IRA's in Index funds, residential, commercial and agriculture real estate.
I save as much as possible, no debt and I'm still scared it won't be enough.

Take a look at the Dow 30. What do you know about any of the companies? I still have Walmart, Home Depot, and General Electric. Bank of America was just removed from the Dow, and I sold Disney to buy Southwest. I sold Merck to buy a Fidelity Health fund that is up 50% this year.
Do research and check out if analysts' recommendations. Look at dividends (or not).
Then take a look at the top 100 of the S&P, etc.
But, I would also agreed with the other posters and say look for mutual funds of the blue chip dividend payers.

Thanks, did your portfolio begin from gifts?

I simply want to give myself the peace of mind of retiring at a certain age rather than seeing my retirement get pushed back year after year.
