aker47,

I like AA even though the aluminum market may stay soft for a year or two.  Alcoa has trimmed costs and actually posted a profit this last quarter.  It is not going out of business anytime soon.  If it goes down, I will just buy more.  The price/book value is still less than 1.  It is also a rather volatile stock, that makes it a good candidate if you are interested in actively trading it. 

I think VOD is a solid company, but I sold my real money shares out of pure boredom.  It doesn't stray too far from an index fund so what is the point?

TNP looks interesting.  I will have to do more research on that one but a cursory glance suggests to me may have to be willing to hold it a few years.

If you want to hold for only 2 years, don't put your money in stocks.  Successful investing (as opposed to trading) usually requires long-term commitment.
