International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), The Walt Disney Company (DIS): Blast From the Past Stocks

What I like about both GE and Siemens is they encompass healthcare, infrastructure, energy solutions, aviation, and more, competing virtually head to head even on household appliances. One could honestly say Siemens is the German GE. In the future the energy industry’s top players could be wildly different so Siemens which offers solutions to energy companies involved in natural gas, oil, and alternative energies, is a safer bet.

Analysts expect a stunning 64.80% five year EPS growth rate (yoy) for Siemens. Why? Siemens is acquiring companies like Invensys Rail as part of its  Infrastructure and Cities division and it is involved with future-forward smart grid technology. At half the market cap of GE Siemens could grow much more and in 35 years the taint that European stocks have been burdened with will be a distant memory.

The future is already here

These companies benefit from multi-generational trends. They offer innovation or growing market share and all have yield that will likely grow. With this diverse group of mid cap, small cap, big caps with a REIT, defensives, industrials, and international exposure, this is a portfolio that you could safely set the door locks on that underground bunker for 35 years.
