Barron's Top 10 Picks

This week, Barron's came out with the list of the Top 10 companies/stocks for the next decade. Topping the list was Google (GOOG), a company that has dropped half its value since 2007, who was liked because of their large Growth opportunity in Online Advertising and lack of Debt.  I to love Google and am a shareholder as they have a strong upper management that has been making strategic acquisition and cuts to better position the company for the future.  The company has also shown resilience after putting up strong revenue numbers and gross profit in 2008.  Other companies topping the list included Microsoft (MSFT) and EBay (EBAY).  These two companies I am not as wild about but are boosted by Long-Term Growth Opportunities and Large Cash Holding. Other companies on the list included: Cerner Corp (CERN) Database Builder, Wynn Resorts LTD (WYNN) the Las Vegas and Macau Resort Giant, CVS Caremark Corp (CVS) the rapidly growing Pharmaceutical Retailer, Ace LTD (ACE) the Insurance Company, and Fernsa Latin America's largest Bottler and Brewer.  The most intriguing company on the list and one that I have full confidence in for the future is the Security Company EMC (EMC).  EMC currently has a great PEG, P/E, and EPS which is supported by strong Long-term outlook.  The company has continued to put up great revenue numbers and the balance sheet is looking great especially in current harsh times.  Its supported by a high analyst ranking and is a steal at current times. Let it fall to $9 and then grab it.
