| TOP PICK | 28.190 | David Driscoll | Consumer products. Where Procter & Gamble has China, this company has India. Big growth in consumer products in India right now. Attractive yield at about 3.5%. | 2008-07-04 | |
| DON'T BUY | 32.220 | Mark Grammer | A high quality European company. Their issue right now is the very strong Euro, it’s a problem. They have decent margins, they are a strong company, they are cutting costs. It’s fairly valued right now, not a sell. Wouldn’t buy. | 2008-03-18 | |
| BUY | 30.880 | Don Reed | Global food service company. Food companies are good to own from a defensive standpoint. Tend to be less volatile. Earnings are looking good. 4.78% dividend should be safe. | 2008-02-22 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 26.850 | David Driscoll | (A Top Pick Nov 9/06. Up 2.8%.) More of a deep value play. Has been beaten down quite a bit. Dividend yield is strong. | 2007-02-15 | |
| TOP PICK | 26.140 | David Driscoll | Consumer products. Stock has been going sideways because they have not been doing well on their 5-year program. Finally had a quarter where their organic growth beat expectations. 2.5%-3% yield. | 2006-11-09 | |
| BUY | 68.720 | David Driscoll | Offering 4.7% yield. Getting hammered today because of their earnings announcement. The growth is going to be there. Have had to clean up their act for the last 2 years. | 2005-11-03 | |
| BUY | 63.780 | David Driscoll | 20% of their revenues are in Asia, so a good way for investors to get access to the Chinese market. Attractive dividend yield and it is rising. As they get rid of their low margin products and focus on their new products, the growth will come. | 2004-12-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | 61.510 | Gavin Graham | Getting squeezed. Costs of their packaging is rising. Investors have made no money on Unilever, Colgate or Proctor & Gamble over the last 5 years. | 2004-11-08 | |
| BUY | 58.160 | Don Reed | Likes their Adams acquisition which gives them new areas with the ability to gain share. Cutting costs. | 2004-10-05 | |
| BUY | 59.110 | Gavin Graham | 4.6% dividend. Some products have been hit hard by competition. Sales growth has been consistently disappointing. Temporary problem. Good management. | 2004-08-12 | |
