In an earlier post I said that if PG did not take adequate steps to get their house in order,Carl Icahn or another of his ilk would do it for them.

What a prophet!

I padded my portfolio with PG at $60 for the stable dividend, who knew that it would become a growth stock too.

Ashame Bob is taking the hit for AG. AG totally screwed up and Pepper supported him. McDonald is going global and trying to recover where Lafely concentrated on "big brands".... Tide Pods is all AG folks, and McDonald got screwed with it.

Mike:
Interesting take.
But, in fairness, Bob has had more than his share mis-steps in managing on-going charges against pg's reported earnings.

In re: Palm Desert Rat's comments (which mirror some in the popular press) there is no way that a petty hedge fund can mount even the least credible assault on a company with 20 to 25% employee/retiree ownership.
