AFLC, PG: Aflac recovering somewhat from management's error and/or stupidity in exposing the company to risky hybrid securities. Looks like company will survive - the positives of having a good business/good franchise. As you point out though, survive at what profit to the long-term investor?: Eight years of stock market gains wiped out by management's big bet folly. PG might get back to the $40 level you mentioned. Who knows in a depression. Company sells so many consumer staples. pg.com If management doesn't make acquisition or financial blunders and if generic substitutes can be contained, I assume company will be able to raise prices eventually and successfully in an inflationary environment while maintaining sales in a recessionary/deflationary one.
