10 Stocks You Shouldn't Throw Away

Spring is upon us, and for many of us that means it's time to bust out the mop and broom and start cleaning house.

Spring cleaning can also apply to your portfolio. Given the current bear market rally, this may be the ideal time to take a hard look at what stocks should be sold before the market heads into its next leg down.

But not so fast -- there are also a number of undervalued stocks that you shouldn't throw away too quickly. And if you don't own them yet, when the market turns back down you may want to consider buying them.

These following 10 companies represent the biggest corporate brand names out there, and you should consider these stocks core long-term holdings.
