Textron is a very solid, diversified company. Makers of Bell Helicopters, Cessna airplanes, components for precision missiles, and even Golf carts, this company is positioned to weather down turns well. They have a backlog of orders that alone takes them through 2010 and recently bested there quarterly earnings. It is not the sexiest stock out there, but it is a stock I own, and should be a bellwether for any stock portfolio.
