It’s not the Fourth of July or even the Olympics, but patriotism is still running high for the U.S. as the men’s national soccer team makes its World Cup debut against Ghana on Monday — and that got us thinking about great all-American stocks to buy. Of course, finding stocks to buy among American companies isn’t as easy as it looks. Most of the biggest, oldest blue-chip stocks represent multinational companies, making it hard to say whether they’re really “all-American” stocks.
So with that as our focus — and wishing the best of luck to the U.S. in the World Cup — here are three great all-American stocks that also happen to be great stocks to buy: It’s tough to find a more American company than AT&T (T). Utilities are the top-performing sector of the S&P 500 for the year-to-date, and Excelon (EXC) has been doing as much heavy lifting as any of the stocks to buy in this group. Verizon (VZ), the nation’s largest telecom company, has a market cap so great that it exceeds fellow Dow component AT&T by more than $20 billion.
