Could you rate the 5 options I have listed with your opinion of each (best first).

Current shareholder of BMY for last 4 years and it simply has not done very much however pays small dividend of 3.2 %
I'm looking to sell and replace with something in same sector/space with better share price growth potential. Medium risk with 2- 3 year horizon. Dividend would be nice but not absolutely necessary.
Thx

Q: In Peter's editorial in the February Moneysaver, he re-iterated the importance of diversification across the 11 main sectors. I found I am short in 3: tech, healthcare and communications. I am on the verge of retirement and have an income slant but realize some growth is also needed throughout my investing lifetime. Could you give me one growth and one income recommendation for each of those 3 sectors? (A company which pays a small dividend but has a history of raising it consistently would be ideal in the growth recommendation.)

Thanks,
SCOTT
