Bricolage, love the honda pick for really long term investment. beleive they have more room for growth than toyota, which is going "all in" this year. not too sure about southwest airline. but did you know LUV has the best ROI than any other US stocks in the past 30 years. i think the number was something like if you had invested 10K in the 70s it would be worth over $ 200+ millions today. but i think the better days for airline industry are behind them. i'm also heavily invested in the aerospace sector but looking to get out very soon. the whole industry looks really shady so not sure how things are gonna be 5 yrs from now. not necessarily airline but i've been watching for companies that support NASA during space exploration. because of this war of terror, oh i mean war on terror LOL lot of money being poured into defense budget but if this settles down (will it is another question for another time), we might see that money going into NASA's space program again and we've already seen little glimpse of it already earlier last year when they announce they are going back to moon. so i'm keeping a close eye in this sector.
