Unilever plc (ADR) (UL)

Great multinational consumer staples company top heavy with name brand products and a proven management team. This company currently is under the radar in the USA, but with dividends going quarterly in 2010,it should get more recognition. A great hedge against a falling dollar!

This is an international play - a strong, solid consumer goods company. As the U.S. and everyone else slowly crawls out of the recession pit, this sector is going to benefit. And you don't get a more solid company (P&G is good, but based in U.S. dollars is kind of shaky right now). Company pays a dividend, too, which means they also respect their investor's ability to reinvest profits. I'm bullish until the next recession cycle hits.

Well diversified company of established brands.

With expanding overseas market and a good management of product portfolio, Unilever is poised to benefit from any recovery in consumer confidence globally.

cash flow

My girlfriend loves Dove products. Just a drop in the bucket for Unilever as a whole. The sector is doing very well in the current rally.

solid dividend with exposure to emerging markets, consumer discretionary play with well established brands that people buy in good times and bad

High Cashflow for Market Value

Stands behind many brands people gravitate towards. Believe "trading down" will always be a temporary trend. Also think this company is actively pursuing key growth areas.

restructuring efforts will pay off

Easy.

this could also be a play in Africa

Bought this today for a solid, well-run dividend paying performer.
