Dissent will be considered just cause to elevate the offending party into a tax bracket high enough to cause tears of fairness to fall from the eyes of the poor, the downtrodden, and the perpetually unemployed.

General Mills (GIS) *I own
Procter & Gmable (PG)
Clorox (CLX)
Colgate-Palmolive (CL)
Maybe Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) though it’s not a pure-cons play *I own

You get a good sized dividend and a relatively safe sector.

If you have a longer time frame (10+ years) I would just be buying VTI (total stock market ETF) and trying to accumulate as many shares as I can.

Do your homework though, don’t just take my anonymous advice.

This all despite Nixon’s price controls and Carter’s Windfall Profits Tax. The more the government tried to repeal supply & demand, the better for the industry.

Not that I want it to happen, mid you. Those were challenging times. Only when Reagan decontrolled oil & gas prices did stability (and low prices) come back to the market.
