Everyone should have a few stocks like this in their portfolio. Market leader, rock solid balance sheet, secure dividend and future growth.

Good defensive play that should yield decent returns with limited downside.

Diageo (DEO) is a British company which produces beer, wine, and spirits. Their brands include Guinness, Johnny Walker, Captain Morgan, Gordon's, Tanqueray, Smirnoff, Hennessy, and a variety of particularly fine single malts including Caol Isla, Oban, Talisker, and Lagavulin. At 13 to 14 times trailing earnings, with a fairly consistent revenue stream and a 3.5% dividend yield, it would be an appealing business in any case. The relatively high level of debt is adequately serviced by earnings, while gross margins are in the neighborhood of 60%. But what makes the company so attractive to us at this price is the ability to use US dollars at their current purchasing power to buy future earnings in a variety of world currencies, which increasingly will derive from consumers in emerging markets.

Stocks go up, stocks go down, but people will ALWAYS eat, smoke, drink and gamble. Great play on their many great drinking brands.
