What Has Made The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) Great

Page 2 of 2

While I like knowing what a company has done in the past, I’m more concerned about what it can do in the future. And since P&G has a proven track record of surviving recessions and depressions, I don’t see any reason this company won’t be around for another 50, or even 150, years, still paying and increasing its dividend. Considering how this company has performed for its shareholders just since 1985, think about the wealth it might create over an even longer period into the future.
