The world will always need to drink, and we can count on Coca-Cola to produce the nectar of the gods.

The world will always need oil. And this stock seemed terribly cheap.

I reject the thesis that hard drives will be replaced by flash drives anytime soon.

A play on the Japanese economy. Also the cheapest car stock around.
