J&J earnings out soon. Now that AJ is out and Sheri is in. Long term IMO she's going to make J&J want to kiss and make up for the CEO passover. I'm holding on to my shares even though they might go through a pull back. Something tells me Sheri has fire in her eyes. That's the type of person I want leading this company. In hindsight, the company way overpaid for the Silpada acquisition (over 600 million). Avon has a tradition of annual dividend increases. 22nd Consecutive Years. I'm hoping the tradition stays and earnings improve to have them better covered. That's still one big speculative appeal aspect. An acquiring company will not be paying out earnings anymore. They can be retained and redeployed to pay off debt and general corporate purposes.
