3M (MMM)

Coca-Cola (KO)
These need no introduction and I don't intend to give them any.
Interesting contenders
- CR Bard (BCR): Design, manufacture, package, distribute, and sell medical, surgical, diagnostic, and patient care devices
- Energen (EGN): Acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids in the continental United States
- Valspar (VAL): Manufactures and distributes coatings, paints, and related products worldwide
The market cap of these companies range from nearly 9B down to around 3B so none of them are small -- which I like. There is also a good range of market segments that provide diversification and, hopefully, reduces volatility. We will benchmark this against our dividend bearing ETF portfolio.
