Callout Title Hightlight text. There hasn't been a better time in two years to put together a portfolio of stocks for the long run.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is just such a core portfolio, and a good one. What follows is a core portfolio I can endorse with enthusiasm.

An idea that should attract customers for a long time.
