PEP

BUY

Likes this and is one that he would consider adding. If there is a more prolonged economic slowdown, lower priced beverages and fast foods will be more looked at for people trying to save.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Prefers Pepsi (PEP-N). Probably has decent growth and good dividend growth.

COMMENT

Has a positive long-term uptrend in a market that is not really positive long-term. In the last 2 months it sold off with the rest of the market from a new high in January. Now consolidating. If it broke through the recent highs of $60, that would be a bullish signal.

BUY

Coca-Cola (KO-N) and Pepsi (PEP-N) are leaders and are attractive. Both are supplying a growing consumer base overseas. Prefers Pepsi a little bit better because it is less focused on soft drinks. Down side. If this market takes off, a lot of investors hiding in these stocks will sell and they will under perform.

TRADE

Great Francaise, wonderful company. Has an international present. (good with a weak US dollar). Thinks it might be a bit overvalued.

BUY

Have had some difficulties but is now turning around and this is his reason for owning it. Global exposure.

BUY

Stock has been out of favour for about 7 years. He thinks finally the tide is turning. This year was a rally after a long downtrend from 1999. There's probably a lot of foreign earnings and expansion in the price and into emerging economies. Probably the

WEAK BUY

Trading around fair value. Is okay not very exciting. A low single digit grower with a positive dividend yield.

COMMENT

Doesn't particularly like the Company. With young people getting Type II diabetes, it is getting pulled from schools. The stock is a play on a weaker US dollar as most of their sales are outside of the US. If the US dollar is strong, he buys Pepsi (PEP-N) which is more US$ centric.

HOLD

Much better than it was.

BUY

There’s been a resurgence of the US large cap multi-national based, consumer product stocks. Has always been an expensive stock.

SELL

Likes Pepsi better, so would have this as a Sell.

BUY

US growth stocks have gotten cheaper. Growth is not much higher, but the multiple has come down. Won't be a fast grower. Very defensive characteristics if the market rolls over.

DON'T BUY

Historically, the stock has had 3 ups and 2 downs and is now into its 3rd down cycle.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't feel they've had good leadership for 4/5 years. They’ve stumbled from one president to another. They've seen their leadership in American soft drink industry lost to Pepsi. Pepsi would be a better choice in this industry.
