I hope it's kind. Just crawled out of GME and managed to ride NVDA, TSLA, and DUK. I'm high on green lines and crave more.
In economic downturns GLDM is a good call, energy stocks are also expected to rise so DUK could be a good place to park since they have a lot of nukes (power plants are expected to go the nuclear route over the next 20 years even if AI is a bubble). You could also put it in VOO, but I’d personally put it into a smaller ETF for more exposure to growth (even SPLG could be good, lots of retirement accounts track it, it’s basically a smaller SPY). No one really knows where to put it unless you have a plan, are you looking to start a retirement fund or something to realize in a few years or what? Look into each ETF recommended and see which look the most attractive to your personal opinion.
I went DUK is CCJ a better choice?
I really like what National-permit said! DUK is a great utility that pays decent dividends! You might have a nice chunk of change if she reinvested her dividends back into the stock! Have her gift it to you, then the basis price (what she bought it at) won’t matter and the day she gifts it to you, becomes YOUR basis price (right now it’s at $117.72) so that’s your basis price tomorrow and then sell and you owe nothing in taxes… sweet deal!
Right now, the stock market is super volatile, meaning the collective group of stock owners don’t have much faith in the stability or predictability of the market…mostly due to Trump policies that go up-down-sideways, our US debt and the dollar losing value, the bonds that no one is buying (which normally would help pay interest on the debt). Because you are a new investor, and the climate of the market is so tricky, plus many companies are overvalued, wait for another correction (the stock market goes down) and then pick a blue chip company that pays dividends…then you’ll own the stock and it will pay you in quarterly checks (or you can reinvest the dividends to buy more shares). Blue chip companies are like JNJ, WMT, or utilities like DUK. No you can’t lose any more than you put in unless you own options…but that’s a whole different issue. Maybe read Investing For Dummies —great book to just educate yourself. There are classes you can take on investing fundamentals at community colleges. Also, watch YouTube videos that Warren Buffett has put out, and open a trading account with Schwab where there are tons of training videos. Investing is a skill set. Timing and luck are involved. I love the fact you are curious and asking questions. Many wise investors are anticipating a huge correction down in the stock market, which the news media will report. Once stocks are more fairly priced, the blue chips will be a better buy for the new investor.
Completely ludicrous premise. But I'll go with... MSFT, KO, T, V, DUK.
But the ETFs all have fees attached, which eat into your bottom line if you want dividend income… I tend to avoid ETFs. My fave is DUK, VZ. Am looking into ARCC once this market stabilizes.
Yeah, the big brain plays can be so hit and miss. They just teach us humility and why diversifying is important lol. What I’ve learned is healthcare is not my sector. Every time I’ve tried anything health care related, it takes too long to go green or get a nice profit. A few times have been quick profits like the BDX and ZBH recoveries after their earnings. Others are like UNH. I have better luck with financials, tech, utilities, and consumer staples right now. Yesterday’s surge I saw most of my defensive holdings drop a lot so people could make quick tech plays it looked like. So I picked up more RSG, WM, AWK, SO, and DUK. If they go down lower after all the reports we get this week, I’ll buy some more. But I’m expecting a switch back to defensive stocks going up if any of these reports cause investors to become bearish. I personally think today was a bull trap and we will hit a bear market if store shelves start emptying out nation wide.
If you don’t mind, what would you recommend ? You’re the only one constantly giving actual answers. I have some ETFs covering the Russell 3000, some on the s&p 100, some like VT and VTI which you can index how you’d like and of course some for the S&P 500 which are the ones I started with. With that I have stocks such as WM, WMT, DUK, COST, GOOGL, META, etc with track records I believe to be continuing as time passings MSFT for example has a great set up, GOOGL is cheap, and well. Given this, what do you see wrong. Especially considering you think adding VT and VTI along with others is poor planning.

Sure, but that’s only if technology collapses, oil prices bounce back, quantum computing companies fail to get government support, and the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, which could breathe life into growth stocks like SMCI and SHOP. On the flip side, if tariffs stabilize with little impact on supply chains, the quantum and tech sectors get bailouts, and oil stays under $60 due to low demand, then it’s a different story. I cut back on leveraged investments to lessen exposure to FNGD and TQQQ unless the S&P 500 breaks through crucial support levels, like 4,000. Reallocated dividends into utilities like DUK or consumer staples such as PG. Use gold and VIX as a hedge against systemic risks, considering SPY puts and GLD calls. I keep a close eye on policy changes regarding trade wars and the Federal Reserve's statements, as these will influence movements in tech/energy.
DUK they pay a high yield and have a new CEO. I'm also a customer. I'd like to own a good chunk as dividend income.
# Utilities * **Winners:** **XEL** (+2.57%) and **DUK** (+2.90%) performed well, reflecting sector defensiveness. * **Losers:** Losses were minor and sector-wide. * **Trend:** Stable performance as utilities served as a safe haven.
I’m 64% BRKB shares, 25% DUK shares, 11% RIVN shares for aggressive speculation. Weekly covered calls on my BRKB and DUK and RIVN shares. A couple GME leaps
Down .8% today so I’ll count that as a win. Most of my individual stocks are old man stocks now: WEN, VZ, BRK, OXY, DUK. Plus have 100k in cash from selling INTC options earlier in the year
I liquidated and went 60% BRKB, 20% DUK energy and 10% each RIVN and GME leaps so i can still larp like I’m DFV
I gotcha, sorry for being so blunt then. It's all a learning process. Here are some defensive sectors: -Consumer staples (companies that make things like toothpaste, toilet paper, and other things people have to buy even in a bad economy), e.g. Proctor and Gamble (PG) -Utilities (power and water companies that will still do okay in a bad economy because people have to keep the lights on), e.g. Duke Energy (DUK) -Healthcare (people have to get medical treatment and medicine even in a bad economy), e.g. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) You can buy stocks in those sectors to prepare for economic turmoil. They probably won't get rapid growth like the stocks you currently have in your portfolio, but if there is a correction or market crash they fall much less and protect your portfolio value. You can also buy safe assets like gold ETFs (e.g. GLD), bonds (e.g. BND), and even managed futures funds (e.g. CTA). These are diversifiers that aren't correlated with stocks. So if there's a stock market crash, and stocks go down, often these will go up. Even if they don't go up, they usually won't go down as much as stocks. In a bull market, safe stocks and safe assets won't appreciate as much as tech stocks or crypto. But in a bear market, these will save you from losing a lot of money and may even give you gains. Just some food for thought.
Utility "focused" I'd say no, don't get too concentrated in one sector. Utilities can get more room in your portfolio when you're close to retirement and/or need current income. Forget the AI angle. The advantage of utes is basically guaranteed ROI. The Dow Utilities Index has one of the most rock-solid long term upward channels you'll ever see. I stick to utes in red states (SO & DUK) plus a little XLU. I'm retired and my total portfolio allocation to utes is 10%, it's been that way since before I retired. If I was younger, I don't think I'd allocate more than that unless I needed current income from them.
DUK, D, EXC, NEE, SO, ED, CEG And AWK, although it’s a water utility.
Barring external mango interference this week I’m keeping my eye on RDDT, APP, DUK, TWLO, and BROS for earnings boost.
Damn you’re right. I bought DUK.
Most recently I bought EVRG, NEE, and DUK. None of these is cheap at the moment, but they're still decent values with good dividends. The outlier \[a depressed stock that ought to be just fine in the future\] is Dominion. A large presence in a rapid growth area of the company.
DUK = Duke Energy PWR = quanta services Lockheed Martin (US weapons) VTI = vanguard total market index SPY Are solid choices
Look into SPY and DUK. Solid additions🫡
*Calls on overtime for employees of NEE & DUK. All hands on deck.*
The two major power companies in Florida NEE & DUK are being sold..... As a longtime holder of both Imma a dip buyer.
DUK ain’t going down dude. I live on one of the lakes in NC with a nuclear plant. They’ll just pass costs off to the consumer and tap into tons of insurance money.
DUK because I own shares and wanna pump the stock on someone else’s post.
My utilities, SO and DUK as well AFL, all in my core dividend group.
Check out the PG DUK NEE UL bubbles. Do I have to short this toilet paper? lol Joking aside, I believe there are Brazilian and Chilean companies that produce wood.
There are two stock symbols? "DUK" and "DUKE"?
HE price collapsed due to concerns over legal liability that their infrastructure caused the wildfires. So unless your theory is that DUK caused the hurricane, I'm not sure why you're bringing up HE.
Puts on DUK & NEE? 
I'm watching $DUK and FPL outages. I got puts today.
I got puts on NEE and DUK right now. They are big companies so they have the most outages.
For sure. I had a trade on in DUK that I entered around July, primarily noting utilities were showing relative strength. So when I see strong sectors, I’ll look within the strong sector and look for the top performers. Mid July (around 11Jul I think) I entered the 17Jan25 90Cs, which were high 0.80 deltas. I chose to hold off on selling shorts calls against because I had bought it on a perceived breakout and wanted to let it move before adding short calls. After around a week, the upward drift slowed, so then I sold calls ~20 DTE using something near a 0.30 delta is my norm, maintaining a ratio. So if I had 65 long calls, I might sell 15 short. Then, one of three things happen - calls taken down for a profit, calls are rolled (if challenged, ideally out and up), or closed for a loss where I will then pair it with a sale of long calls to cover the loss (this ensures I’m realizing profits with the losses so I don’t run into the scenario where I take calls down for a loss, then stock drops and I lose on the long calls too). For this specific trade, I held until late Aug where price had started gently trending down for a bit. I still liked the trade but wanted to move into things showing more life so I ratchet up the short call ratio a bit to collect what I can in the sideways areas and then exit the trade as a whole. This is off memory but I can add more details if you’d like tomorrow when I have my computer in front of me.
I bought weeklies on companies with a lot of debt like VZ, and DUK. Doesn’t a rate cut help these companies?
Advertisement is only a small portion of their future revenue growth. These guys are collecting a ton of data and information on this site that could be sold in the future for a handsome return on investment. the reason why I would not want to get too carried away with it is because there is nothing stopping other competitors to enter this market. There were so many great companies over the years that have gotten eaten up by the whales. If you are lucky enough to be bought out, then that is good but if the market just naturally starts shifting to a new platform, the reddit might be history and Blueit my be king. I like buying stocks in companies I have bills with. Electric, cell, cable, water, trash. food, HealthCare, Shopping DUK, T. CMCSA. AWK, RSG, COSTCO. UHC, Amazon
SO, PEG, DUK KO, PG CL Fairly consistent in good or bad times.
You're missing DUK and RYCEY.
Worst year performance is not an indicator of diversification. If it were, utilities like DUK would be considered more diversified than BRK.B or VOO, which is obviously nonsense. BRK.B has better down years than VOO because historically it has very much been tilted toward safer industries like insurance, banking, and railroads. Doesn't mean it's more diversified, it just means BRK historically leans toward safer investments.
Defensive stocks (at least as I was using it) are stocks that are less affected by economic and market downturns. Health care like UNH, consumer staples like WMT, utilities like DUK. Tend to be lower overall return, but everybody needs health care, staples, and power even when the economy sucks.

I am a 41-year with a corporate job. I have no debt, liabilities, kids, pets, or partners. I have a tech-heavy portfolio and I have a handful of stocks I would like to add. I currently have about 25 total and I am up 28% YTD. The potential picks are for dividend investing and are follows: DUK, JNJ, CVX, PFE, VZ, KHC. I am holding too much cash right now. I am interested to see what people would do in this situation based on the limited knowledge you have.
Good.. but grindy.. when I was yoloing my port flipped 100k in a day. Now we are grinding 100k in a year.. slow but steady. Mostly covered calls on safe dividend names. I play TLT, GIS, DUK mostly.
portfolio hovers around 600k. Vast majority in TLT shares(cycling covered calls), TLT leaps! Though I hold O, PFE, DUK, CVX, GIS (literally all boring div stocks)
Solid work, I’ve been a big fan of SO for years. Also check out ED, D and DUK have been on my watchlist and NEP has been good to me as well.
My go to safe value stock is DUK. Slow and steady capital gains over the years, reliably increases its fairly generous dividend about once a year, and no one is ever going to stop needing electricity. If you want something safe, get yourself a drip in DUK. It won’t make you a millionaire overnight but if you’re young you’ll be glad you did come retirement
I have 17k in aapl, 20k in DUK, 5k in Home Depot (surprisingly a turd) 21k in MSFT, 8k in VZ. Most of these are very safe, very boring long holds and represent the bulk of my portfolio. Speculative plays are 25k in the weed sector, a smidge of DXYZ, and a couple penny EV stocks (fisker and fifi) as of yesterday. My port is 2/3 safe, boring stuff I’ll never sell. But gotta have some fun too
They’ll be light bags in that case. I’ve got 100k in the weed sector and 50-60k in boring safe holds like DUK. But fucckit I’ll take a spin at the roulette wheel. But this thing could 2 or 3x today like it did Friday. I’ll be out by the end of the day regardless.
To be fair, you regards could have been puttting your money in stuff like DUK and MSFT long holds
Update 12pm 5/9. Once again, NEE or DUK, playing call week or two out call options in the AM will average 35% daily return.
Bought DUK and SO as you have. About 10 years ago.
I’ve held for years, strong dividends and I’m up a lot. I also like DUK it’s been on my watchlist.
Why do you like SO? I'm a fan of DUK for the East Coast data center build out
DUK is great, recommend LEAPS.
I have a bunch of DUK. It’s the best performer in my portfolio
Put it all in DUK now. Take your 16k a year for life
Instead of liquidating you should get into safe value stocks like DUK. Nice dividend, stock unlikely to crash…people aren’t going to stop using power. They’ll use less if they’re paying more. Duke doesn’t care. It just cranks out its 4.5% dividend while slowly accumulating capital value on top
What the fuck. With 12M he can make 500-600k in dividends from boring ass safe stocks like DUK and never work again.
Put it all in value stocks like DUK or better yet a 12 month CD and come back when you’ve cooled your heela
I have a margin account. My equity value is in boring shit like DUK and VZ. I day trade with the margin credit line and try to end every day at 100% equity. But today I’m leveraging to the tits on these dips and holding for a few days.
Why liquidate completely? At least pick up some boring DUK or something and pick up some dividends
Hey I didn’t say I don’t take risks at all! But I don’t yolo. This represents a big investment for me but the bulk of my portfolio is in long hold blue chip dividend stocks like DUK
Very much appreciate the thought and insight! All very important points of consideration. I definitely don’t look at DUK as a ticket to financial independence, but at the very least a decent amount to start using towards that greater goal.
I like DUK but it’s less than 2% of my portfolio.
If you hold onto that stock until you're 65 you're looking at something worth ~$151k and paying $5k per year in dividends (assuming dividends are reinvested, a 3% appreciation of stock and a 2.05% increase in dividends yearly). If you don't re-invest dividends, you're looking at a value of $71k @ age 65 (assuming the above parameters) with an annual dividend of $2,446. In this scenario, over 24 years, you will have received $45,400 in dividends that you could invest in other spots. I don't think there is any (smart) decision you can do with this stock that will gaurantee financial independence, but you have options that could make this a piece of a comfortable retirement. How much is in your 401k? If you were so inclined, between the 65k you have and the 100k potential proceeds from a land sale, you could use DUK as the start of a strong dividend portfolio. You could also just go index funds etc.
If you decide to sell the DUK stock? Sell covered calls at the strike price you want to sell it at.
Bought shares of a utility company i was working for at $9 in 1983. Due to M&A now DUK is worth around $98? Plus adding over the years & div reinvestment it's a nice nest egg.
DUK Duke Power. A friend that worked as an EE consultant for power distribution for over forty years said they are by far the best run power company in the world. For example, there’s a serious problem with the 115kV line in my backyard, and the media first covered it in 2006 that could potentially disrupt power for over a hundred thousand people. There’s still work left in the replacement they can’t get permits for and a 25’ deep hole to fill. My friend said he personally worked on multiple problems like we have here, and he said Duke would have had it fixed in less than a week. I think I’m down $2 a share after buying it years ago. Apparently being competent and doing a good job isn’t profitable. My local incompetent company is up about threefold since I was granted the shares.
Literally sold like 15k of Apple shares yesterday to buy more DUK so I could catch Duks divi , praise allah
Selling another probably 20% of my large apple position, or either selling CC’s right at the money, and then buying this DUK dip for that sweet sweet divy, paying more than $1 a share quarterly, and if it dips even more to like $85, ohhh baby im going all in
Gonna buy the shit out of this DUK dip, divi bout 4.5% rn I think with it at $90/share , I’m gonna be living off this mfer on day, I hope
VOO is a mix of the entire S&P-500. Instead of 1 company, you have 500. Including DUK. That way, if DUK suddenly had a scandle, like the door plug fell off one of their planes while at 12,000 ft, you wouldn't watch your entire portfolio plummet 30%.
I appreciate the honest response. What is it about VOO you like better? I do like that DUK pays dividends - which I have setup to reinvest back into DUK, but could always redirect those to other trades.
You've got 3 options, from smartest to dumbest: 1. Sell the DUK stonk (should be no tax, cost basis on inheritence resets). Open up a Vanguard account and buy VOO. 2. Do nothing and continue to hold the DUK. Pray it goes up. 3. Sell DUK, move the funds into a trading account, and rename the account: "Tuition". Why tuition? Because you're about to lose it all in your education. I recommend 3 of course.
I haven't offered a hypothesis. I'm testing yours with current emperical data. DUK opened higher this AM, but is now down a little ($0.06) vs yesterday close. Still, it isn't down the $1 it paid. I'd say this is the stuff talked about well past the opening paragraph in you link. That stuff about the real world, where a 3% dividend (1$ on $30/share stock) might not even move the price of these options. I'm not going to quote it back to you; I'll trust you read the whole thing you said I needed to read. I'm also going to keep buying and holding stocks. Most of the stocks I buy pay some dividend. I buy to invest, not just chase a dividend. Dividends do help me meet some of my goals.

Let's talk about this, "the stock price drops by pretty much the exact amountthe stock price drops by pretty much the exact amount" statement I see parrotted around here constantly. I own DUK. These are prices today: Open High Low Close 97.20 98.33 96.75 97.17 So on the day the stock paid essentially $1/share in dividends it dropped $0.03/share in price. Let's check tomorrow and see if it closes another $0.97/share down. If this is a sure thing, why not short 200K shares? What about KO? They paid on 12/15...about $0.37/share. While it closed down on 15th, it is effectively flat by the end of today (18th, the trading day after the 15th). These are just the last two dividend payments in my portfolio, so a small sample size, but stocks picked in part due to dividends.
And what about DUK and it's earning tomorrow pre open.
I only had about $50K to invest. Got it in inheritance at the end of June of 2021. Put it all in "safe" stocks like $VTI, $IVR.PR.C, $BAC, $DUK $HMLP and some shit stocks like $CCL, $POWW, $SWBI and $SOFI and watched it drop 50% over the last 2 years. Anyway, I'm selling it all in December and buying actual ammo.
Nonsense. It's ugly Machismo at work here. HSY, ANET, ZTS, GLTS, PGR, DUK, NDAQ, et. al. would also like to have a word with your regarded trading strategy. The hypothezised "Glass Cliff" you are referring to has only been observed in countries where masculinity is a highly valuable cultural trait. Noticably though, it is not the gender of the appointed CEO but the path-dependance that brought the company in this situation in the first place. To round it off, [a study by S&P Global](https://www.spglobal.com/en/research-insights/featured/special-editorial/when-women-lead-firms-win): > "Firms with female CEOs and CFOs have produced superior stock price performance, compared to the market average. In the 24 months post-appointment, female CEOs saw a 20% increase in stock price momentum and female CFOs saw a 6% increase in profitability and 8% larger stock returns. These results are economically and statistically significant." Susan Wojcicki also sends her regards from retirement.
DUK is the best run utility from what I’ve seen, but their stock performance doesn’t reflect that.
Buy Duke Energy? DUK. Regulated utility. Safe dividend will get you over $1,000 a month.
Are you chasing yield? I’d still rather buy a short term treasury or high interest saving account/money market fund. While the yield is high for DUK, there’s still higher risk free options out there. Like DUK is down 12% for the year.
DUK currently trading at 83.86 and yielding 4.89%. Would you buy DUK under 80 if yield hits 5%???
