P & G is the example of why the so-called Blue Chips aren't that safe. Seems to me that it was used to define safety compare with the Qcom, MFST CSCO and the other high risers..ie risky. Not only isn't P.G an investment to keep up with inflation, but no one wants any. So now, Florida will have a recession as the many retirees who had their savings "safely" invested in P & G suffered a sudden loss of wealth and lack of spending power. The so-called investment counselors have a lot of explaining to do, as well as the lazy analysis that didn't do their homework.

Durk says the lawsuits are just a nuisance and routine, no validity. As a P&Ger I can say that there was no intent to deceive. That's not P&G, and what could be gained?

Profit forecasting is completed monthly. Durk went public as soon as they understood what the February numbers meant. The earlier conversations with analyst were based on January numbers.

But you can believe there is some scrambling!
