Top Integrated Utility Stocks To Buy For 2014

Since we're celebrating all the wonderful mothers out there today, I figured it was appropriate to look at a few stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) that every mom would love to own. The stock should be one that not only will produce a strong return on investment but also represents a business that mom uses regularly in her busy life. So without further ado, let's get to it.

My first choice is Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS  ) . As I've heard mothers say from time to time, one of the greatest things in the world is seeing their kids' faces light up with joy and happiness. And I'm not sure there's any company out there that makes that happen better than Disney, whether it's from watching the newest Pixar flick, or being lucky enough to travel to one of the many Disney parks around the world. Disney is truly a company that makes dreams come true. And not only does it entertain the kids, but its ESPN property can keep Dad occupied when Mom needs some time alone. Furthermore, when it comes to making money, Disney makes a boatload, which has helped push the stock to an all-time high. Year to date, the shares are up 34%.
