WHR
Whirlpool Cp - $79.13
- +2.81%
- $77.45
Meanwhile, Whirlpool has a hammerlock in brand names -- save GE (GE) -- and can be the best product to market around the world for homes.

-
BDK
Black Decker Cp - $62.52
- +2.27%
- $61.32
But anyone with a long-term view knows that dominant brands like Black & Decker and Whirlpool are ripe for the picking and can be easily made far more international than they are now.

-
FO
Fortune Brands In - $39.89
- +2.20%
- $39.08
Moen Faucets and Aristokraft cabinets come with Fortune Brands.

-
MAS
Masco Cp - $14.01
- +0.72%
- $13.95
These companies have real franchises. Behr Paints, Delta Faucets, Merillat cabinets; these are great brands that are for the pickings if a company were to buy Masco.
