Unilever N.V. (ADR) (UN)

Well diversified company of established brands.

undervalued and dividend play

Recession for long or short haul, still have to buy cereal and soap.

Will come out of recession stronger

Dividend Yield

instituional ownership is only 8%?? when the div yields ~6%? Get in before they do.

My strategy: get a nice 6% a year, or take at least some profits sooner if the price rises say 50% within a year.

Save some cash to buy more if the price goes lower to capture a higher yield.

Unilever is a huge company, and ideally should accumulate it long-term as long as the dividend yields 6% or more.

Bought 200 shares with real money last week. Was very pleased that it stood up well during profit taking last night. This company will always be around. Why buy JNJ, PG, ETC. When you can buy this for 60% less, with just as much upside as the others. With an equally as nice divi.

Four girls in this house. Suave everything. Shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, hairspray.......it's cheap and works great. Why pay more?

Looking for mgmt. turnaround on this stock. Good entry level here.

With all the layoffs people will start trading down once they use the products they all ready have bought. It doesn't look good now, but it will in the future.

Re-organization well under way.........Shareholder friendly management........Nice defensive play....

STABILLITY

This is part of a test portfolio I made to weather the current economy.

I tried to pick a small diversified group of companies with high dividends (that I felt would not cut their dividends). I also tried to pick companies that I felt were already oversold. All the picks under this screen name are part of that portfolio.

Good consumer product company. I believe this stock will still go down along with everything else in the short term. However, for a long term pick, the price is right. I plan on buying a little every week to build up a long term position. With a decent dividend and a solid line of products, this is a good defensive stock.

Consumer staples baby.

consumer staples that had excellant earnings. these are the products that are necessary even in recessionary times.

* Market capitalization north of $10 billion
* Trailing P/E ratio between 8 and 14 times earnings
* Return on equity of at least 20%
* CAPS rating of four or five stars

Unilever has been providing us with food, houshold goods , and must have items for many years. I feel good catching this stock near its 52 week low.

Everyone needs and uses their products, day in and day out, regardless of the economy.
