A strong defensive play that is, surprising, priced under book value right now.

With the baby boomers getting older, they will be spending a lot more time in the hospitals and nursing homes for various maladies. It therefore makes sense that hospitals and nursing homes will continue to grow and expand. As they grow, they will use more bleach to make sure that they are clean and sterile.

If the economy does a double dip, maybe we might wind up with some one time sales from people that decide to drink it on down. That's not good for longtime business, but it helps for now. I'm just joking about the suicide factor. I was just remembering in Guns n' Roses - Bad Apples the line that goes "you'll be sucking down the Clorox 'til your life's all nice and crisp."

Seriously though, this is Clorox. Can the average person even name another brand of bleach? It might not be the biggest moat in the world, but being number one, with no obvious competitors except "store brand", it is a pretty good moat to me. Nothing says clean like Clorox. The Center for Disease Control is now recommending Clorox to clean c-diff rooms in hospitals and nursing homes, so my girlfriend has been going through a lot more recently at the hospital that she works for.

Two reasons. It has a dividend. And most people use at least one product made by this company. If you don't belive me. Where you live, go to where you keep your cleaning supplies. You can find at least one Clorox product there.
