Prior to you begin building model airplanes, it’s critical that you study and know far more about the original aircraft. You may come across references on your scale model kit. You’ll fins photos, documentation, the color schemed, time period, details, pilot, markings and even the necessary modifications for the particular version of aircraft model.

“Get long and then get loud.”

That old Wall Street saying refers to talking up one’s own holdings. The practice is common, if a little crass. I try to refrain from touting my own holdings too much. Still, readers often ask, “Well, what do you hold?”

So, I devote one column per year to the stocks in my model portfolio. Many of my clients own the model exactly. Others own a modified version, while still others have portfolios that are completely customized.

Here then are my 25 favorite stocks. Five of them have headquarters outside the U.S., since I think the U.S. market is fairly fully priced.

Transportation

For the third straight year, I am fond of transportation stocks. I figure these are helped by fuel prices that are much lower than they were two years ago, by an improving economy, and (in the case of airlines) by industry consolidation.

The airlines in my model portfolio are Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:DAL) and Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:ALK). I also own an airplane parts maker, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. (NYSE:SPR).
