Comments: Updated: 1-17-2009
The company has a strong market share and boasts an impressive historic investment performance. However, recent under performance in some of LM's flagship funds may have resulted in increased client redemptions. That combined with struggling equity markets, have resulted in sharply lower asset balances. Risks include industry cyclicality, acquisition integration further market declines and poor investment performance.

Comments: Updated: 1-4-2009
Product demand for household and personal care products is generally stable and not affected by changes in the economy or geopolitical factors. PG has historically delivered consistent sales and earnings growth near the high end of its peer group, and I see no reason for this to change over the next several years. The company continues to benefit from the Gillette acquisition and from growth prospects in new markets and categories. PG is well positioned to benefit from growth of household and personal care products in developing countries. Risks include heightened competition, unfavorable currency translation, higher commodity costs, higher promotional spending and low consumer acceptance of new products.

Comments: Updated: 1-10-2009
While other financial institutions are lining up for a cash infusion from the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), CFR took a line from Nancy Reagan and, ‘Just said no.’ “Cullen/Frost is well capitalized now and for the foreseeable future, with sufficient capital to grow our business and take advantage of acquisition opportunities," said Dick Evans, Cullen/Frost's chairman and CEO in a 2008 statement. Operating in a robust and growing Texas economy, CFR exhibits strong credit quality in its loan portfolio and tends to produce relatively stable financial results. Trading at a discount to it historical P/E, some view CFR as an attractive takeover candidate. Risks include unfavorable changes in the slope of the yield curve, operational performance and additional deterioration of the credit market.

Comments: Updated: 12-27-2008
PEP's global market positions and stable end markets produce consistent and strong cash flows. The company continues to find domestic and international growth opportunities. PEP's product innovation strategy is considered trend-setting for the industry. Though carbonated soft drinks remain the most popular beverage, PEP recognizes that non-carbonated soft drinks are a faster growing category. The company is focusing on the health and wellness trends. It has eliminated trans fats from many of its snack foods, and is introducing "good for you" foods under the Quaker Oats brand. Risks include the highly competitive and very mature nature of it products, also with more exposure to foreign markets, political and currency risks also increase.

Comments: Updated: 12-22-2008
KFT's leading global market position has allowed it to build a strong balance sheet and cash flows. The company has used its cash flow to pay increasing dividends and currently has a generous yield in excess of 4%. Due to the relatively stable nature of the company's end markets, the stock should benefit from investors looking for defensive or lower-risk investments. Risks include execution of internal restructuring, competitive conditions, higher input costs and possible disappointing consumer acceptance of new product introductions.
