David Cockfield Gillette Co G-N TOP PICK Aug 30, 2006

Doesn't think the market really appreciates what a great deal this company got when Barrick (ABX-T) spun their Red Lake assets. They are now tops in that patch. Has shown some pretty good earnings growth.
$58.200

You might be interested:

BUY
A great American franchise.
TOP PICK
A defensive holding. Likes consumer staples at this time. High quality company, and predictable growth. Trades at about 25 X earnings. A little pricey, but worth it because of predictability.
TRADE
One mine company. New management. Like the gold area.
TOP PICK
DON'T BUY
Most investors should own 5/10% of their portfolio in gold at this time. This has not been one of the better performers. New management is coming in. Would prefer Placer, Newmont or even Barrick.
BUY
Merging with Procter & Gamble (PG-N). This will be good for Gillette for distribution of their products.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
New management is better placed to take the company to new levels. Company is now a little more diversified from gold. Fairly valued at these levels. Wait for a hiccup along the way. Prefers Barrick (ABX-T) which is cheaper.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jul 23/08 Down 7.75%) Still holding. A leader in gold industry. It’s here to provide some protection. Still making good money. Protecting against US continuing to print money.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 3/08. Down 13.23%.) Was stopped out at a 14.3% decline. Not a gold bug but thinks in the fall gold will break out above $1000. Gold stocks are lagging so the ones that will follow the price of gold will be the big caps. (See Top Picks.)
