Filed under: Newsletters, AFLAC Inc (AFL), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Stocks to Buy  "One way to build an inflation hedge into your investment cash flows is to focus on stocks that are likely to boost their dividends on a regular basis," explains dividend specialist Chuck Carlson.
<>In his The DRIP Investor, which focuses on blue chip companies offering dividend reinvestment programs, he notes, "Since dividends are paid with cold cash, they can't be faked. Either you pay the dividend or you don't. They can't be some figment of accounting magic." Here, he looks at three favorite blue chips with stro...

Filed under: Earnings reports, Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Stocks to Buy, Recession  My final all-American brand is Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL). The company is well-known for its toothpaste and toothbrushes. But Colgate-Palmolive also owns dozens of strong brand names, including Irish Spring, Speed Stick, Ajax, and many others.
Some investors may think of Colgate-Palmolive as a dull stock. That's fine by me. <>The shares are far less volatile than most stocks on Wall Street. Even though the market overall is well below the highs it reached in the third quarter of 2007, shares of Colgate-Palmolive we...

Low-risk investments are few and far between in the current market environment. But if you're looking to boost the cash flow into your account, you can bank on high dividend stocks like Colgate-Palmolive ( CL )!

Dividends Are Not Signalling Recession

(closed on 03/26/08)
<> If the US economy is falling into recession, you could not discern it from the dividend actions of major US companies over the last two weeks. As you know, one of our theories on dividends is that since dividends are decided by a company's board of directors, they speak as much about the future as the past . This is because no board wants to set a dividend policy that will lead to a cut in the dividend in the future. If our theory is correct, business is not as bad as the headlines would have us believe. According to the chart at the right, dividend growth remains strong. (Click to enlar...

Tough Questions, Controversial Answers

The air is thick with concerns, worries, and just plain confusion regarding the economy and stocks. Over the next few editions, I will try to answer the most prevalent and important questions our portfolio managers are receiving.
Question: Recession, yes or no, and if yes, how deep and how long.
Answer: I really believe this is the wrong question for 95% of investors to be asking. The reason is that most of the stocks in the major indices derive nearly 50% of their earnings outside the US and whatever happens here will be buffered by what happens around the world. Here is an import point to p...

Filed under: Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Stocks to Buy With the markets still in a choppy/consolidation mode (or perhaps worse), it's best to consider including a few defensive stocks in your portfolio, and with the aforementioned in mind Colgate-Palmolive is worth an evaluation.
Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE: CL)'s restructuring is working, and its 2008/2009 results will continue to show it. In late 2004 CL initiated a 4-year cost reduction program including a 10% workforce reduction, new product roll-outs, an emphasis on larger-growth markets, and the more-savvy deployment of marketing resour...

Colgate-Palmolive Co. ( CL ) also posted a positive fourth quarter and full year, noting that sales have started off well in 2008 across all divisions, and the company is confident that the strong top-line growth momentum will continue, driven by its very full new product pipeline with an array of impactful, integrated marketing campaigns to support them.
