All American Stocks

Apple pie, baseball and capitalism. Fast Money celebrates the 4th of July by bringing you star-spangled stocks. These are companies that embody the spirit of America

First up in our three-part series is United Technologies .

Based in Hartford, Connecticut, UTX is one of our country's largest conglomerates. They provide America with fine products ranging from air conditioners to security systems. They’re also involved with the U.S. military and manufacture the elite and agile Black Hawk Helicopter.

But that’s not all. To be one of Fast Money’s “All American Stocks” a company must also be a good corporate citizen. United Technologies does that by making it possible for all employees and their children to receive scholarships to attend college.

And at 11.5 times forward earnings and a backlog of $60 billion in order, UTX is a buy, concludes Guy Adami.
