The Procter & Gamble Company (PG)

Yield 2.6%. Solid. Products from PG in my bathroom: Mach 3 razor, Crest toothpaste, Vicks vapo rub. I occasionally have pringles in my food closet, and duracell is my battery of choice. Things i don't have but you might are always, head and shoulders, pantene, oil of olay, tide, dawn, downey, pampers. This company has been around for 171 years. That means it didn't just survive the depression and 2 world wars, but also multiple depressions in the 1800s. I can't find exact numbers, but from the 10Q summary: "Our products are sold in more than 180 countries primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores and drug stores. We have also expanded our presence in "high frequency stores," the neighborhood stores which serve many consumers in developing markets." I believe at least 50% of all sales are outside the US and this number is likely higher. Expect PG to keep growing steadily over the next 10 years.
