What can be said about good old southern company...it pays a strong dividend, and has a large market cap. I would consider adding this to your portfolio as a long term holding. Stocks like this one will allow you to save a little face in the event of a market recession. SO is the parent company of GA Power, AL Power, Savannah Electric, and several other power utilities--energy never goes out of style.
