If you're like most investors, at least some of your stocks were likely chosen because they were prominently featured in the news. There's nothing inherently wrong with choosing trendy stocks.

These four companies are hardly riveting; some are even relatively unknown. All of them, however, bring something important to the table when establishing a winning retirement portfolio.
