Starbucks just split not to long ago, they also just announced a 22% increase in profits over this time last year.
No matter wut you buy be prepared that there are some rocky times ahead for the stock market.

wal-mart is a good choice, but they always seem to stay around the same number, and buying shares costs 50+ a pop.
Anything that will NEVER go away is pretty much what you want to go for.
Toyota maybe, but not sure of the cost of shares right now.

Looks like financial outlook sucks the big one. Stocks are expected to slide (lose money) until there is certaintly where the federal reserve will set the lending rate at. Right now they say inflation is certain and interest rates are rising but they don't know at what point they will become stable -- when that happens they think/hope stocks will recover.

One i was watching that hit good was PKTR. They hit a huge drop and picked back up momentarily, it was a good buy. GOOG was going WAY up there about a month ago, now it's at sort of a standstill slow rising movement, had you got it a month and a half ago you'd be rolling in it if you had enough shares. My personal favorites right now are ERTS at least it was....

by the way msft is sucking it up since the launch of the 360. Their "Sell now and fix it later" motto with the 360 went from around $26.00 a share to $27 to $28 a share and it's back down to suck it up stage. by the way...

If you'll actually read his post it says "under 10 dollars a share".
