Recommended List (Updated)

• KMB
• KO
• PG
• MMM
• PNW (PNW replaces EAS since EAS had just received a buyout offer. PNW now has a higher dividend, which also has a history of raising it annually, and is also a potential takeover candidate).
• PEP (PEP has been on the recommended list before. I only removed it when they announced a new CEO, since that created a degree of uncertainty. I am now comfortable with the new CEO, so PEP is back on my list).
