AT&T (T)- Recent price $32.47. This company has terrific financial strength plus a juicy, low risk dividend (6.2%) and seems to have the media growth potential to do well for at least the next decade.

Alteryx, Inc. (AYX) - Recent price $53.17. Alteryx has no dividend but enormous growth potential. This surging, small company leases a software platform that permits easy preparation, analysis, and visualization of great volumes of data. Users speak highly of it. AYX has had enormous revenue growth. In addition, for those with more speculative inclinations, it has been rumored to be a takeover target.

Honda Motor Company, Ltd., ADR (HMC) - Recent price $29.43. Even if beaten down these days, Honda Motor Company's stock sports a dividend of 3.10%, and the asset represents a business of great financial strength, a fine reputation for superior vehicle and small engine quality, and since late 2017 an entry into the electric car market.

McKesson Corp. (MCK) - Recent price $126.42. A titan in the healthcare industry, McKesson offers care management, data, and supply products. It appears to have exceptionally strong long-term prospects.

Schlumberger, Ltd. (SLB)- Recent price $62.29. Schlumberger offers a nice dividend (3.2%) to shareholders as they await a turnaround in the company's fortunes. SLB is a major oilfield services corporation, yet temporarily weakened the past few years by a slump in the price of oil and then a contention with Haliburton (HAL) over patent rights. In my view, once those headwinds are behind it, SLB should see good gains.

Square, Inc. (SQ) - Recent price $72.24. Square is part of an ongoing trend toward perhaps the eventual eradication of cash. SQ is a successful innovator in e-commerce, digital payments, and income collection via smart phones and other devices. For example, Square began helping small enterprises accept credit cards on their cell phones or iPads, went on to add a bunch of additional services, and even lends dollars to customers, given good understandings of their enterprises. SQ will likely be growing extra and very practical applications for businesses as the latter improve and expand and so need to rely more heavily on such services. Square's revenue improvement has been phenomenal.

Vodafone Group, PLC, ADR (VOD) - Recent price $22.73. Already a powerful and growing provider of voice and wireless connections in Europe and India, VOD provides a hefty dividend (7.9%) while investors await further long-term and profitable developments.

WPP PLC, ADR (WPP)- Recent price $79.35. This major paper and paper products company appears well situated to grow its revenue and share price in the years ahead. For those seeking income, it also has a large dividend (5.0%). Investment services suggest the share price could easily double in the next 4 years.
