re: Reccomend some buy and hold stocks

GILD. I think it'll reach $150 this year barring a stock market correction getting in the way.
JPM. They didn't even need the bailout from the mortgage crisis. They were only compelled to take it so that the other banks, especially smaller ones, would fall in line. It's well run and has one of, if not the, best bank CEOs in the industry. It'll benefit from interest rate increases.
BRK/B (or A if you can afford it, but I doubt you can ). Obviously well run, diversified, and provides insurance exposure, which will also benefit from interest rate increases.
AAPL. I don't care for AAPL or their products, but I'm not going to bet against the crowd; I don't want to be trampled.
MSFT. I think this could hit $50 by the end of the year, barring correction. Dividend isn't bad, either.
LL (but not right now). They've taken some strong hits this year, but I believe they will eventually recover. When their earnings start to recover and/or any lawsuits clear, I think I'll buy this.

After a stock market crash/correction, F may be a good buy. Remember that they are a cyclical, so shorting now wouldn't be a bad idea, and then go long when the market goes down.
