Filed under: Coca-Cola (KO), AT and T (T), Procter and Gamble (PG), Stocks to Buy The U.S. stock market's choppy, volatile pattern continues. Technically, the Dow's rally from the February 2008 and March 2008 market lows around 11,800 to the 13,100-range is displaying signs that it may have been a false rally: the rally failed at the 200-day moving average and closed Thursday, for the second straight day, below the 50-day moving average.Further, the fundamental story does not look good, either: $130 per barrel oil, a housing market showing no signs of recovery and the specter of scant job creation for at least the next two or three months does not exactly represent the strongest magnets to attract new money to the market. On February 4, 2008, I provided five defensive stocks worthy of consideration. Listed below is a progress report, with revised recommendations for each. Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) - a diversified consumer products giant, extraordinaire. February 4, 2008 price: $66. Sell / Stop Loss: $47. May 22, 2008 price: $65.62. Revised recommendation: I'd continue to hold PG here if I owned it, definitely buy it if I didn't. Revised Sell / Stop Loss: $47. Cola-Cola (NYSE: KO) - because no one ever went broke, holding Coke. February 4, 2008 price: $59. Sell / Stop Loss: $43. May 22, 2008 price: $58.27. Revised recommendation: I'd continue to hold KO here if I owned it, definitely buy it if I didn't. Revised Sell / Stop Loss: $47.
