Graphic_arrow1 Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:  

Years ago, Money Magazine interviewed a few celebrities and asked them what was their favorite stock. Since this was before the tech bubble burst, I recall that almost all picked a stinker, except one. Remember "America's Rich and Famous"? Host Robin Leach mentioned what at that time was to me a new, yet intriguing security. That security was World Fuel Services (INT). He stated that the world will always need fuel, and with a growing population, World Fuel Services was a long term holding for him. I owned this stock in the late 1980s, made a few bucks and traded it out.

INT is not a talking head favorite, but I like it now, even after a modest run.
