People got -- last week David and they thought oh this is the beginning of a long summer correction is it.

Liz manufacturing.

Consumer confidence housing and jobs all four of those last week.

We're very weak and that basically says to us this is a soft patch we think it's not going to go negative -- become a double dip we think that.

This is a time to be very careful and defensive -- owned defensive type type names three names that we like are Pfizer.

Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo.

-- yields three point 7%.

PepsiCo yields 3.2 percent -- when he says -- that means dividends that's about it but stopped as you get paid -- right.

We we think that this is a time -- -- -- group to be careful.

That there's something that you've got to wait for which is July 8 not July 1 that's that's for -- second Friday this time in July for technical reasons it'll be reported then that's the job numbers that you all have been.

Talking about -- on Fox Business Fox Business -- we want Michelle Yeoh.

LC OK -- -- -- that's the dolls that's the subways so we wanna put these magnets on river expert relative grain and that's right that's right -- claimant train but.

Coming back -- we think this is a soft patch we do not think that it is a poll.

Set back.

We -- so double dip no double dip -- Pfizer for except -- Far has a good PE -- you're not paying too much for price earnings ratio is -- nine yet they've had some management changes Jeff can work out how the new -- doing what they do about the pipeline and -- Lipitor which is the largest selling dog of all time they sell twelve billion dollars a year billion that's about showing off patent right.

But as you know they've acquired Wyeth and they've acquired King Pharmaceuticals.

King Pharmaceuticals is pain management Wyeth has -- larger suite of drugs and we see date the efficiencies the savings.

Hot and the pipeline being filled up by these two acquisitions health care stocks with a market up only 2% this year they healthcare stocks are up 11%.

Now I -- this as waterproofing a portfolio for the summer storms that may be comment PepsiCo why not Coca-Cola -- Pepsi well we see the PepsiCo has very good momentum in the domestic market they're putting in more money into the ad spending.

We see the international part which is -- -- then the international part of off Coke.

The pet the F PepsiCo is 31%.

Exposure to emerging markets which is less than Coca-Cola -- As you know list.

40% of their sales are Frito-Lay.

And there they have they are twelve times bigger than the number two player.

So they are dominant -- that -- was a very high margin product practical food not necessarily to drink that's right see on the national scale and Procter & Gamble with the that when you basically have seen management.

Years old touches three billion of the six and a half billion people on the planet every day.

Congress claims and now we're looking sort of at the macro picture that they will come to a debt ceiling.

Deal by July 4 -- and if it doesn't.

Liz I would love to see that because as you have reported here Moody's.

Has said the standard and war is actually downgraded the outlook the -- US credit rating.

To negative from from stable.

-- Moody's said this past week.

-- action unless unless -- we get some movement here by July they're actually going to have -- put out a note on the the credit rating of the United -- so that's putting a little pressure.

By the July 4 holiday when people go -- recession.

I think these congressmen and women.

In the senate and the house want to go home.

And not have this hanging over them.

Because it's -- it's a concern to everybody now.

Right before July 4 weekend oh -- is slow time anywhere within volume David is with us all day long Pfizer PepsiCo proctor and gamble or -- tour.
