Got some stocks by inheritence- advice?

Thanks for any help before I start this convoluted thing,

I have 6 good stocks from a smart Aunt@Uncle. The stocks are AEP, BMY, CVX, MRK, PG. VZ.  These are held by Ed. Jones and that is fine.  Super solid stocks by a reputable broker.  I like my agent just fine. ......wait!!!!!

Fuck,  I just saw Mickelson hole a shot from 138 yds. for his 2nd straight eagle. Good grief!!

Back to business. I also got 2 Vanguard mutual in the same deal.  These investments are fairly small and only add up to $12,000.   

 Shit..... that sob Mickelson just put a shot within 6 inches!!

My thoughts are to put $1000 each in 3 different accounts to further diversify my holdings.  This is where I need help.  What do you guys like as solid long term investments.  I've got several solids in mind but would appreciate opinions?

I also got $12,000 in the inheritance that I put in a Van Kampen Roth.  I'm happy with it but if anyone has probs. then please advice me.

I wouldn't be on this forum unless I liked to gamble. When I finish doing the best I can long term for my little daughter and my retirement (same thing)  then I want to get into some better short terms plays. Hope you guys help a semi-retard.  I need it.

You dont need to be paying Ed Jones high commish for buying a few stocks for you.

I would transfer the account to a Scottrade branch and save yourself the monster fees they charge post haste.

Tell us more about what fund you have on the Roth..and why do you have all the 12k into one fund?

as above, pronto

Its not too late to get in on Citigroup (C).
