  • Bloomsburg Investment Group
    Bloomsburg Investment Group Equity Analysis The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) Analyst: Gerrick Hardy, Class of 2021 Trevor Luzi, Mackenzie Gross, Class of 2022 Bloomsburg Investment Group Opinion: After our group's thorough analysis, we believe it is in the best interest of the group if our holding in Procter & Gamble (PG) is partially liquidated. Although our group remains bullish about the company, we think taking some profits from PG's recent run-up and allocating funds elsewhere in the sector would be most beneficial. While the company has provided strong organic growth in each of the two previous quarters, a number of headwinds remain in the way which will likely restrict future growth. A stronger U.S. Dollar has essentially offset the organic revenue growth, and the rise in transportation costs and commodity prices has and will likely continue to squeeze the margins of PG. With consumer tastes trending towards less expensive generic brands, customers may not respond favorably to recent price increases of some of Procter & Gamble’s largest brands. Our sector believes PG is currently trading at a premium that will not be satisfied with future growth. Despite all of this, we are still bullish because of the high dividend yield that the company has increased for 62 consecutive years, wide array of brand offerings, and brand loyalty and recognition, among other factors. Considering cross-current risks that exist in the macroeconomic environment and the potential of an upcoming recession or economic downturn, Procter & Gamble will continue to provide stable growth and hedge our portfolio. Corporate Summary: Corporate Details: Name Procter & Gamble Co The Procter & Gamble Company, founded in 1837, is Ticker PG a global manufacturer and distributor of household Domicile United States goods.

CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA: AN HISTORICAL, CRITICAL, AND EMPIRICAL STUDY Vana Patrice Carter, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1992 This study investigates whether a dance choreographer’s lack of knowledge of film, television, or video theory and technology, particularly the capabilities of the camera and montage, restricts choreographic communication via these media. First, several film and television choreographers were surveyed. Second, the literature was analyzed to determine the evolution of dance on film and television (from the choreographers’ perspective).

AMORE PER LA MusICA Purtroppo, non è più tra noi il Professor Giovanni Girone, Presidente Onorario della Camerata che ha presieduto per ben 18 anni, con grande dedizione e amore. Il Professore Emerito Giovanni Girone fu ordinario di Statistica ancorchè giovanissimo e Preside, per 14 anni, della Facoltà di Economia e Commercio alla quale dedicò tutto il suo impegno di studioso di riferimento e di apertura verso tutte le problematiche degli studenti. Ma fu il suo rettorato, dal 2000 al 2006, ad offrirgli la grande visibilità in tutto il mondo accademico che gli riconobbe l’avvio di progetti culturali inter universitari con l’Europa e perfino con il Sud America. La passione per la Musica la coltivò con sincera ammirazione, già dai tempi del suo rettorato, e di qui nacque il nostro invito perchè potesse seguire le sorti della “Camerata” in quel tempo orfana dell’indimenticabile suo Presidente On. Nino Vernola. Nei 18 anni di Presidenza il Professor Girone ha profuso sentimenti di assoluto rigore per le scelte artistiche, per i rapporti con le istituzioni della Città e della Regione, per la parte amministrativa che delegava con fiducia ai suoi Dirigenti con i quali ha portato la Camerata a divenire la più importante Associazione del Sud Italia.
