Recession proof. Even condemned prisoners ask for it
on their last meal. Good dividends continue.

I was looking at different companies to put some money into and narrowed it down to six. They all pay dividends and are big solid companies (my prereqs). I liked them all but I ultimately decided on BP, mostly because their dividend was by far the highest of the bunch. I do not foresee any issues with any of these companies growing or paying their dividends and would gladly have invested in any of them. I then discovered what CAPS was and decided that I would use these six companies to start my CAPS portfolio. The six companies that I like are BP, XOM, PEP, JNJ, KO, and PG. This pitch is being used for all of these picks.

Coca-Cola is in the F&B industry and the F&B industry generally remains cushioned from the effects of the markets.

Coca-Cola is available worldwide and it's brand recognition is strong.

It's main product is a low cost beverage. Something which enjoys mass consumptions, usually unaffected by market conditions.

When the global markets pick up, Coca-Cola should be brought up along.

One should not expect a jump up sky high as likewise positive effects are usually cushioned too.

Coca-Cola seems an obvious long-term holding that corresponds well to Buffett's Rule #1: Don't lose money. So LTBH, except apparently you get more CAPS points if you sell every time there's a 5% gain, so luck would have it that my score is a little higher than it should be. I think I'll have a nice cold no-name cola to celebrate!
