Largest Publicly Traded Companies

The beginning trader will not be able to jump right in and be able to pick stocks that are poised to breakout and give a return to the investor.  The skill of picking stocks takes a lot of time researching into the companies that they are going to invest in.

I would suggest that a beginning trader to start with trading stock that are well known companies that will be around for a long time.  Even though the companies are seasoned the stocks will still generate a return that most investors will be happy with. 

Below I have listed the 10 of the largest publicly traded companies:
  • Apple Inc.
  • Exxon Mobil
  • Microsoft
  • Google
  • Berkshire Hathaway
  • General Electric
  • Johnson & Johnson
  • Wal-Mart
  • Hoffmann-La Roche
  • Chevron Corporation
The companies listed above have given investors good returns over a period of time.  These stocks are steady long-term trades many of them offer dividends that will add the return to the investor. 

I have invested in a few of these companies and have seen a decent return over the last 2 years.  The stocks haven’t made me rich overnight but I am satisfied with the steady incline growth I have seen.  These stocks just like any other I would suggest purchasing on a down day or month so you can get the best price. 

Other notable large companies that have proven returns to investors over a long length in time:

  • Coke
  • McDonald's
  • AT&T
  • IBM
  • GE
  • Walt Disney
