Q: Hi 5i, looking to upgrade my consumer goods stock buy selling Deo, gis and buying Nsrgy and mdlz. What do you think of this move and what would be a good entrance price. These companies are bigger and more diversified. Are there any other companies with a dividend worth looking at? Thank you for your service!

Q: Are all of these companies buyable in your opinion? And how would you rank them if they were bought today while keeping in mind dividends, safety, growth there are a few sectors here so that aside. I do think some of these companies are being forgot about with all the focus on tech.

Q: Hello,
I recently mentioned taking a position in MDLZ for part of my international holdings, not realizing MDLZ is actually US-based. Knowing you don't follow international stocks, are you generally aware of other internationally-based consumer defensive companies listed on a major US stock exchange? I looked at Nestle, but it seems to be only buyable OTC, and I am not too keen on that market. Another thought was DEO, do you see any red flags with it?
Thanks again, Michael

Q: Diageo PLC ( DEO)

- I like the business, they have great brands, they provide products that people consume in these down markets, covid lockdowns, world war concerns, night out on the town...- If people go out to a restaurant, bar or liquor store, they are buying one or multiple of their products...

- What is your take on a Long Term buy/hold, with stock price and dividend and overall comment of the company ?


Thanks,
M

Q: It has been about a year since the last question on DEO. It has recovered nicely since March 2020 lows. What are your current thoughts on it as low beta slow growth international stock to hold in a non-registered account? Are there others in the same sector that you would prefer?

Q: Hello
I own three consumer staples in US market.
In the last year Mondelez has much out-performed Coke and Diageo by a long shot. But If I go to a five year chart they all performed equally well.

Do estimates point to Mondelez out-performing the other two in the next year or two? The reason I ask is I am wondering if I should just hold Mondelez since the Coke and Diageo are not performing well of late.

Long term investment hold, 20 years plus.

Thank you
Stephane

Q: Hello
Could you comment on recent earnings of Diagio and Mondelez?
Also could you comment if you believe these are good "consumer staple" names to own or if you think there are much better names out there ?
Thank you
Stephane
