Top 10 Stocks to read up on over the weekend.

1. Boeing (BA)
The delay of its 747 Dreamliner flustered investors, but is a "non-event". The stock is a screaming buy now.

2. Unilever (UL)
is a strong consumer stock at a time when consumer stocks are seen as a safety net in a time of a lof of uncertainty

3. Johnson and Johnson (JNJ)
is another "defensive" consumer stock and one with built-in security: its consumer health products act as a hedge against dry spells in the prescription drug business.

4. Anadarko Petroleum (APC)
has a lot of properties in the U.S. that look more desirable as "oil-rich nations ratchet up the pace of nationalization."

5. Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP)
is the fourth largest coal producer in the eastern U.S. and due to profit from new clean-coal technologies

6. Southwest Water (NASDQ-SWWC)
seems an obvious choice at a time of drought and dwindling water supplies. As was mentioned in an earlier post of mine.

7. British Petroleum (NYSE-BP)
is starting a clean solar energy campaign in conjunction with Wal-Mart. Despite this, BP generates 97% of it's profits in oil and gas production.

8. Nestle (OTC: NSRGY)
the world's largest food producer, has a lot to look forward to as the holiday season and beyond. Safe defensive holding.

9. Rayonier (NYSE-RYN)
is a timber company that has deflected the construction downturn by selling to pulp mills, where the demand is high. It also profits from Performance Fibers, which are used for tires, cigarette filters, film and other assorted products.

10. HSBC Holdings (NYSE-HBC)
are being heavily promoted by an activist investor who believes HSBC is a great brand and should have a higher valuation.
