The post Great Recession bull market in stocks is slowly falling apart. Investors watched the Dow Jones Industrial Average crash more than 1,000 points on Thursday, just days after a mind-blowing 1,175 drubbing.

Action Alerts Plus holding Microsoft's (MSFT) current dividend yield stands at about 2%, which isn't huge, but solid for a company that's managed to return to high growth following a period of decline. It's hard not to like home improvement king Home Depot (HD). As Waste Management (WM) CEO Jim Fish told TheStreet, being in the waste business continues to be lucrative.
