Former P&G executive to help guide marijuana firm
Former Procter & Gamble Co. executive Peter McDonough has been named a director of Empower Clinics Inc., an owner and operator of medical marijuana clinics. McDonough, who most recently was president of Diageo North America, rose to be a vice president of European marketing within P&G’s Gillette razor division during a 15-year career with the Cincinnati-based maker of consumer goods (NYSE: PG). From 2004 to 2006, he oversaw the Duracell battery and Braun appliance brands for the European region, which generated $1.4 billion in annual sales for P&G. Empower Inc. (CSE: EPW) operates a network of physician-staffed medical cannabis clinics in the United States, including locations in Chicago, Oregon and the state of Washington. “Building a respected medical cannabis business requires an understanding of consumer motivations related to cannabis and its role in improving a patient’s health and well-being,” McDonough said. “As the benefits of medical cannabis become clearer, Empower is uniquely positioned to advance treatment in many important areas and build brand leadership based on best-in-class care for our patients,” McDonough added.

Far from being a warning sign that there’s something wrong with consumer staples, this “universal carnage is leaving opportunities,” according to CEO Jenny Van Leeuwen Harrington of Gilman Hill Asset Management.

Relations between Moscow and Washington are at their lowest since the Cold War due to alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections and Russia's annexation of Crimea four years ago. The maker of Tide detergent and Gillette razors plans to invest around $50 million (37.4 million pounds) in its two plants in 2018, Sotirios Marinidis, P&G's head for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, said.

There are indices devoted to dividend aristocrats, including the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index.

[$$] Why Coke, PepsiCo, and P&G Look Like Bargains
Procter & Gamble (PG), for one, has boosted its payout for 62 straight years. Beverage firms, he says, have “superior pricing power” that’s “driven by greater channel diversity, less fragmented categories from a competitive standpoint, and lower private-label penetration.” And, he contends, “Large retailers are less likely to push beverage companies around as much.” Still, investors certainly have pushed Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP) around, pummeling their stocks by 8% and 18% this year, respectively. PepsiCo is expected to increase earnings next year in the high-single-digit range, to $6.11, from an estimated $5.70 this year.

were reviewed not quite one month ago, concluding that, "PG has made a serious price adjustment or markdown, if you like, but a low has not yet been made, in my opinion. In this daily bar chart of PG, below, we can see that prices continued lower after the downside price gap last month. An early May low is still holding but the prices improvement over the past two weeks is not much to write home about.
