Warren Buffet says its time to be greedy. But not all stocks are worth buying, says Horacio Marquez. He recommends PepsiCo Inc. (NYSE:PEP) for today’s bargain hunters. The company has over 100-years of history, and it has consistently emerged from financial crises stronger than ever.
According to Horacio, the company’s strong presence in emerging markets will also help weather the downturn in sales in US and European markets. And Pepsi’s cash flow is the envy of most companies as credit markets tighten.
But any stock buying is risky amid current market volatility. Horacio says investors should build up a long-term position with Pepsi with incremental purchases.
This from Money Morning:
PepsiCo Inc. (NYSE:PEP) shares plunged 12% in a single day last Tuesday –- their worst one-day showing in 26 years -– after the world’s largest snack maker and No. 2 soft-drink producer

Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. (SUWN.OB), the $20+ million Chinese natural medicine and herb producer, reported Friday a Q1 (fiscal 2009) revenue increase of 48%, to $6.2 million.
Sunwin’s herbal and medicinal products are largely blended with other products at the wholesale level, and marketed in China and Japan. Sunwin produces over 120 Chinese herbs, along with a variety of natural additives for animal feed. Perhaps their biggest potential market, however, is in the natural sweetener Stevia (Stevioside), produced from the leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant, a bushy member of the Chrysanthemum family. The plant was successfully introduced to China from South America in the 1970s. Stevioside is estimated to be 200-300 times sweeter than general sucrose, while having only 1/300th the calories.
Stevioside has a long history as a food additive in Asia, with no significant health questions like those that have plagued aspartame and other commonly used non-sugar sweeteners.
