I am starting to build a core portfolio of large-cap/blue chip stocks as a foundation. By the time I’m done I want about 7-10 stocks across different market sectors. I want to buy these at the right times based on where the economy is in its cycle. Given the current market, where should I start to look for the first 2-3 stocks for my portfolio? I’ve been considering XOM and MSFT thus far.

Buy the 30 Dow Components over time and hold them forever, then tell your heirs to hold them forever. . . . . . . . .
Buy even dollar amounts of each company and then go play golf. They are all on sale now so it doesn’t matter which ones you buy. Thats the easy part. The hard part is to never liquidate them.
