of course AT&T is reaping huge profits.  They laid off thousands of their workers, are now trying to cut their wages, and rape you on your phone bill.  Hope you weren't grandfathered into the "unlimited" plan b/c if you were, you probably have service so slow that it renders your Internet useless.  Ask anyone that works for that company how well they are treated and see what they say.  AT&T does not care about their workers or their customers.

You reap what you sow not reap what the taxpayers sow. Stocks are BS if not pure ponzi.

Why do us common folk give a crap who is still doing well in big business? Most of them have off shored their workforce and just flood us with electronic toys to occupy our time and distract us while they get rich running our country in to the ground.

They want us to still buy the Reagon trickle down theory that had to many americans kissin the a$$es of big business in hopes that they would create jobs here! LOL Instead they out sourced or jobs, paid off the government, raised our credit limits so we would bury ourselves in debt and then let the Banks repo and forclose on us poor working class,

Our government doesn't give a damn about small business or the real working class, they have helped build the biggest monopolies in the world and the only thing that trickles down to us from those greedy ba$terds is debt and wars!

Kramer, your an idiot by naming IBM as A top company.  IBM is off shoring jobs in the US in record numbers.  Evidently you could care less about the American workers.

You can't leave out Pleasanton based Ross Stores. Ability to change merchandising mix quickly to offset any weather or style changes. Ongoing dividend increases for share holders. Continued increases in same store sales year over year. And non waivering position on staying with their mission and strategies. As an ex employee I never thought they could continue to lead the off price sector consistently. Good job.

The list is very good except for GE. This company faultered more than any other during the crisis. the stock was over $60 when Immelt took over. He took in over $100 million during the last 6 years and the stock nose dived to $5 before bouncing back to $19 and chopped the dividend. Not good. I think Altria, Philip Morris or Verizon should be on the list.

What about Wells Fargo? It seems to be universally recognized and respected for its management; Buffett likes it; and I thought that Cramer was an advocate for it as well.
Why was it not on the list? Was it number ten?
