From: Pete DGI2 Recommendations   of 25709
 
Beverages: I own Both KO and PEP. Prefer KO as a pure play but at lower prices. PEP neglected investment in its soda for too long (can they recover their lost market share?) and consumers seem to have reached a price ceiling on their snacks.
Food products: I own GIS and HRL. Prefer GIS as sales outlook for premium dog food is positive. Overall, this is a challenging sector; since organic growth is difficult to come by, I am questioning whether I need exposure to it at all.
Household: I own PG. I recently sold my KMB position at a loss. Reasoning: if years of internal restructuring haven't improved revenue or margins, why double down by acquiring KVUE, which has its own growth and litigation issues? I prefer PG at lower prices.
Agree with you SCHD could be a good substitute to avoid the individual company execution risk. (Consumer staples 18% of assets)
