NYSE:PG
Well-run company. Likes the multi-national aspect to it. Has a nice tailwind because of the depreciation of the US$. The only drawback is that it is a little bit rich right now and is trading at about 18X current. Not a super duper fast grower. Have a tendency to make a lot of acquisitions to maintain their growth. Good dividend yield.

Regarding Procter & Gamble, this kind of stock has befuddled him. In the last 6-8 months, these kinds of stocks are coming down in price because they were pushing up against their higher end on an evaluation basis.
(Market Call Minute) Terrific company but valuation is too high by 20%.
