Kraft KRFT looks like an opportunity

Everyone loves the brands but its an odd company that was only spun off 18 months ago so no one really knows if they are good or over priced. Well I think that Kraft is an investment for this time. It trades about $52 and pays 4% dividends as well as just having announced a staggering $3bn share buyback program. Looking at the team they seem focused on making their brands the worlds best in each category and eliminating second and third runners and I think for this company that makes sense. McD would hardly focus on their soft drinks for example they know what their brand is.

I think that this is a good play, its defensive and it pays good dividends and the stock is likely to rise slowly despite the market as people buy Kraft whether its a recession or not. No stock is recession proof as we saw in 2008/9 but during that time these family brands made good way.
