Gillette (G) - Even Buffett Justify This One
An SI Board Since June 1997

684 16 0 G
Emcee:  Grant Froese of Calgary Type:  Unmoderated
Introduction Market Data Compact
At $87, the stock seems to be a house of cards waiting to self destruct. It's P/E of 33 just can not be justified by an earnings growth rate in the low teens. Curiously, none of the professionals mention this stock whenever they mention the ususal suspects like Coke or GE. Is this just the Buffet Mystique at work or are there some unknown positives that isn't publicly known. I don't have a position in the company, but am intriqued, especially since we are getting into the silly season that comes during pre-announcement time every quarter. Would appreciate anyone's opinion.
