Exxon & McDonalds. Both have never dropped a beat, and even through all this mess are pretty sound for me. I think GM would be an interesting one, with new management and an actual idea on how to make a world-wide selling car they're on a huge rise (even able to pay off gov't loans well before the deadline), and I think they'll be a-ok in the future. Stock is obviously cheap now.

I also think Chrysler is a sound investment
I wouldnt touch chrysler, but did think about GM... I just fear that they will end up like the railroads, owned by the gov, who I have little trust in. Hybrid locomotives is the way to go though, and seeing as how I daily work on 50+ year old EMD (gm) locomotives I hope they have a plan to be on board (although I would never own a GM)
