What do I buy today to sit for 15 years untouched that isn't named T,SO,F, or XOM?

I would say a wife, but if Jody comes around, she ain’t untouched

Warren Buffet would say KO, maybe, with reinvested dividends - almost the security of bonds. It's around $46 now - I think anything under $47 is a good price for KO.

(ETA: You said SO, did you mean KO?)

I'm already really heavy in the blue chip dividend stocks, although I don't have any KO.

Swiss watches aren't as reliable as KO's dividend.

Just saying...

This is interesting. Look at the inverse relationship between Toyota and Coke. Maybe I buy some of both and swap them for each other on their ups and downs.

Is it because you already own these?

I don't own a lot of different individual stocks, but with the exception of IRM. You own every stock I own.

Holy Crap, 7% div on Iron Mountain. That's what I'm buying next. Thanks for the tip.

You want something safe or you want to go for a homerun and take on risk?

You can try to find the needle in the haystack, or you can buy the haystack. I would say with 1k, a total market ETF. Otherwise you are betting that the one stock you picked will workout best. There are opportunity costs involved in that you've actually picked the right one, and an ETF will not only reduce risk of not achieving a satisfactory return for that time period, but also reduces your opportunity cost.
