...There can only be One Numer One. The number tow, three and four spots are still up for grabs. I Love Coca Cola and Toyota...They're the Cream and the Crop!

Cream and the Crop? TM? You must be watching Cramer and his bad advice.
TM has been a lousy investment for its shareholders the past 5 years. Looking at the entire list, and as far a ROI; Coca Cola has done great just like AAPL and MCD.
