Proctor and Gamble (PG)
Stats
P/E: 15.9
P/B: 2.8
Dividend Yield: 3.1%
The recent reported quarter by Proctor & Gamble caused PG's share price to drop from $62 to $59.75 on August 3rd. The quarterly report wasn't good, but that doesn't mean the long-term outlook of Proctor & Gamble has changed. In fact, if you listened to the earnings report you would have found that PG spent more on advertising than usual, which is a good thing for a brand based consumer company like PG. This means that Proctor & Gamble is investing for the long-term. They aren't trying to make a single quarter look good, which is a trait not held by most.
The company has a lot of exposure internationally, so Proctor & Gamble still could experience some substantial growth even as a Large Value company. Furthermore, PG is constantly looking for acquisitions to expand its product line.
Verdict: PG has a high dividend yield, great growth potential, and a wide selection of products that is constantly being widened. Buy PG before it gets back up to $62. Actually, I think PG is a buy until $65. This is a long-term investment.

Look at that yield! Enough said. Long-term play until wireless communication ends or population growth declines. That was a joke.
