General Electric (NYSE: GE) often gets painted as a boring slow-moving conglomerate, but this $220 billion company is up more than 40% since December 2011 and has exposure to crucial industries such as oil and gas, health care, and aerospace, all of which should grow at outsized rates for the next decade or more. 

Not only that, but with a 3.2% dividend and a 51% payout ratio, GE can comfortably afford to pay you to wait for these sectors to take off, and do so at a higher rate than many of its competitors.
