A portfolio of 4 stocks is not a diversified portfolio. I don't care how "safe" the stocks are, even "safe" investments stumble from time to time. If one stock loses 50% this year (a reasonable scenario), it'll drag down your whole account by 12.5%. Yikes!

Since you appear inexperienced, I'd stay away from individual stocks. Get a broadly diversified mutual fund from a low-cost company like Vanguard. Their Total Market Index fund will spread your entire $4,000 over hundreds of large, domestic stocks. The fund might (or might not) lose money over the coming year or two (any stock investment is volatile). But, I'd expect the long term return - 10 to 15 years, or so - to be fairly reasonable.

If 10 to 15 years is too long for you, then the stock market is no place for this money. You'd be better off in a short term bond fund or CDs.

There are investments out there that will meet your need.
You can look at MSN Money's top ten, or you can use the screens that MSN provides and search for stocks that meet your price and other criteria.
I would read a little bit more before you make any investment.
It may be better that you invest in only 2-3 stocks since you have limited investing capital.
Since the market has been hammered this year, you may want to look into the Dog of Dow, The Puppies of the Dow or The Dog of the Stars. (All explained on MSN)
You may want to look into the Vanguard Group of funds or once again MSN has a fund section where they can assist you also you can search for funds with Morningstar's 5 star rating.
At least you made the decision to invest rather than save. In the long run you are always better off investing rather than saving.
Good luck on you journey. If you need more help there some out here that can give you some sound advice

Sounds to me like you may be in for a very expensive education based on the approach you have chosen.

My advice: save your money for now and invest in getting much more informed before you begin the process.

Find books written by author Larry Swedroe and they will offer you some great investing advice. Study them. Then you will know what to do.

Blue chip stocks are always in need.

What do you need? Buy that!

I have invested in alternative energy sources, solar, wind, fuel cells, waste recovery methods....ie GRGR on the NYSE, a company that turned trees that came down during hurricane katrina into wood chips and pellets to sell to the european and chinese markets. TMG.V a company that recovers waste products from large manufacturing plants and turns it into energy......check them out....

In my opinion Anlgo american (LSE:AAL) is a good buy. They have improved a lot consistantly and grown well over the last 10 years and have good net profit margins and good return on equity.

They have also been paying out good dividends consistantly every year for years.
