My Top Picks for Long-Term Buy & Hold (updated)

Since the previous version of this list six months ago, I dropped three names
(ABBV, AGN, PKI), added two names (XOMA, ZTS), and had one name
(HNZ) acquired by a Buffett consortium (#msg-84610907). Two of the names
on my list—CLF and VALE—have been especially bad performers during the
current bull market, but I’m sticking with them on the thesis that the market’s
bearishness toward commodity plays (and iron ore in particular) is overdone.

Below are sample posts for each name. (Some are old but still a good read.)
