i bought INTC. looks like a good deal.
i agree with cjgallen in that you should look into buying stocks of companies that you believe in. if you tend to like their products or services, there's a good chance that others do too. this usually means that it's a good company. so, as long as they have good financial strength and reporting, good products & services, loyalty from customers, and is priced just right, i think you should go for it.
