I'm at the very beginning. Within a week I expect to buy 5 stocks for $4000 each to begin individual stock purchasing part of my financial life. So what's below as Favorite Stocks" is tentative and with limited information.

-
ESLT
Elbit Systems Ltd - $61.99

- $62.50
Company makes great products, has an outstanding R&D crew, is one of the best in its field, has a near corner on the market on at least one major product, and has appreciated 65% since I bought it under a year ago. I expect to buy more.

It's on both Jim Cramer's list of 20 in STAY MAD For Life and on The Prudent Speculator's list of recommended stocks.
