Fair enough on wanting less tech, but ruling out dividends knocks out most of staples and financials before you even start. You're crossing off JPM, KO, JNJ for no real reason, if you don't want the cash just set the payout to reinvest.

I’m disproportionately invested in big, boring, old-school stocks like JNJ and KO and BRK and ABT, and I’m down a whopping 0.27% today. Yawn. The tech/AI correction is coming, sooner or later. This may be the beginning of that. I also notice “safe haven” Bitcoin is down 5% today. LOL. Take my advice: don’t try to get rich quick on investments that don’t make total sense… getting rich slowly still works, for those with the time and patience.

Consumer goods (JNJ, KO, CMG) Maybe we see a rotation into high beta space stocks next week if earnings guidance is good.

You fucking dopes act like the whole market is tech. JNJ and KO to name a few could have saved you.

It added CAT and JNJ. Its heavily weighted towards tech/AI right now. OP shouldnt have sold at a loss for no reason

Microsoft and JNJ are the only Triple A companies in the stock exchange

BeVeracious

the GREEN boxes are similar to last Wednesday's: BRK-B, WMT, COST, PG (tyvm), LLY, JNJ, UNH. Although greens on PANW and CRM are puzzling. I just assumed the AI selloff just drags software with it.

JNJ was down over 6% one day last week.

Are we really going through the same comments as in June ? People here dont trade BRKA or JNJ, look at AI names and stop being a smartass.

Just invest in JNJ. They don't have hardly any downturn during recessions, seems like the worst they get on average is around 30% and they are only down around -6% this month

Huhuix

Learn to read balance sheets, decide why you would buy, keep up with news on the company, research the leadership team, understand their debt obligations. And then decide if it would outperform broad market. Basically develop conviction so you can weather the fluctuations cuz a 10 percent change in an etf is not as common as an individual holding. Even JNJ which is AAA rated can swing.

JNJ is crushing me today

Major earnings expected before the bell on Tuesday include: * Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) * JPMorgan Chase (JPM) * UnitedHealth (UNH) * Citigroup (C) * Wells Fargo (WFC) * Albertsons (ACI) * Domino's Pizza (DPZ) * Goldman Sachs (GS)

Gram_variable

No, I broke even and dumped it JNJ seems like a real threat to their market share so I'm just staying out of it. No conviction either way.

I just posted my trades for today so I'd have something to show all of you and now I can't find them so I'm going to do it again. I started the day out with a buddy for a late breakfast/bullshit session then went and got gas, did some grocery shopping, stopped for a soda and went home where I put the groceries away, read the mail checked on my positions, fixed lunch, came on here and spent an hour or so answering questions/comments and finally decided to trade so as to have an example to use for our later discussions and now I don't where it went so I'm looking to do it again. Okay it worked once again. Take a look and tomorrow I will look to begin explanations of how I cam about those trades. Fair warning I may not have much time as tomorrow is expiration day and my wife is coming home after being away for two weeks. I miss her even if she is my royal pain in the ass I still miss her. https://preview.redd.it/8l1q7btiyauh1.png?width=1304&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a31955467da9fec75a943c4133154b3b7cc84fb |Date|Execution Time|u/L Symbol|Type|Qty|Description|Price|Est.

Okay if this works you'll have an example of what I trade. I decided to make some trades today although first I had a late breakfast/bullshit session with a buddy the I got gas, went grocery shopping and bought a soda. Went home put things away read the mail and fixed lunch. While I was home I sort of kept eye on my computer in the other room. I sat down on here and started answering questions/comments for over an hour and then said the hell with it and started trading figured I'd do some trades to show you what I trade and going forward I can show you how I arrived at those trades. So let's see if it will load. It wasn't a very profitable day but I made a little bit of money now comes the hard part hanging onto it. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/xnzdognnwauh1.png?width=1304&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a55bbcc97558612317d8d4f47623c46824012dd |Date|Execution Time|u/L Symbol|Type|Qty|Description|Price|Est.

Which companies have had their ownership change due to stock buy back causing ownership % increase? Every company that's been a net destroyer of their shares. You can also create new shares, which dilutes ownership. Apple is a perfect example. There have been years where Apple's stock price went up even though the market cap stayed the same. Why? Because there are fewer shares. Of course, a 20% reduction in the shares outstanding in one year would be massive. It happens slower than that in reality, but a 20% reduction over 5 years is very reasonable and happens all the time. Tons of companies. Just look at shares outstanding over time for a lot of large profitable mature companies. American Express and Apple come to mind, but there's literally tons. JNJ probably, Walmart I'm sure, a lot.

si_de

The issue is your entirely misplaced hyperbole. Which you seem intent on continuing. Fact is, 5.7B before appeal is fairly small change for Apple. As others have pointed out, lawsuits surround the big companies all the time. Don't suppose you've heard about companies like 3M, JNJ, META, Alphabet, MSFT etc etc? The list is endless.

TrickSingle2086

Signal to double down on JNJ and ABBV

dvdmovie1

I'd remove O. Nothing against JNJ, but I'd rather TMO as a broader life science beneficiary than sleepy JNJ. I do like LLY although it's already run a significant amount. Definitely no to PFE. I wouldn't own BND. You might like REMIX (https://www.standpointfunds.com/fund) Overall, this is fine.

strog91

A solid start. Personally I don’t like REITs because their returns have been abysmal for 15+ years, so I’d drop $O. I also think that bonds are a poor investment generally and especially a poor investment in our high-debt, high-inflation reality so I would drop $BND. I also don’t like healthcare so I’d drop $LLY and $JNJ. All it takes is one election cycle and those companies could get smoked by single payer healthcare, or by price caps on drugs, etc. The returns are also not great. Finally I think the returns on defense companies tend to be poor and holding them is unethical so I’d drop LMT. I also think holding large established defense companies is particularly risky because the future is not one billion dollar airplanes, it’s one thousand dollar drones.

My JNJ investment is up 60+% over the last few years.

Flex1968

"Healthcare has always been a bit volatile and I don’t expect it to provide a steady & predictable growth like tech. " Wow! So, ABBV , ABT, JNJ , LLY , UNH , et al have been "volatile" over the last 13+ years? I appreciate many of the I.T. stocks, and am invested in several, but I don't think that appreciating I.T. means that one should ignore , or 'pooh-pooh' , the very solid stocks available in the Healthcare sector, many of which provide solid dividends, and are solidly 'defensive.' Major I.T. stocks have seen their valuations rocketed towards the moon, do not, and are not. GLTA

DanTaude599

Fwiw, the issue isn't owning single stocks, it's using today's winners to prove stock picking worked 10 years ago. I keep about 80% in index funds and a small book of LMT, JNJ, and KO because being wrong on one company shouldn't change my retirement date.

thisMatrix_isReal

I can see a rational point here actually full disclosure I have been riding JNJ for about 1 year and up 40%

someroastedbeef

the underdog story existed 8 years ago when JNJ shut down the animas division and those users needed a new home. TNDM executed well and the stock price followed this is now a mature company whose sales have stagnated considerably while the largest competitors are still growing 20% like clockwork. the same management that led the turnaround nearly a decade ago have all moved on. so no, i don't believe in them to execute

Is it common for average retail investors to do this, or is it a fund thing? I just can't imagine looking at my JNJ stock and selling just the dividend amount every quarter tbh

wf1980

You made several important points, so I'll try to address most of them. All premium sellers are exposed to tail risk, including people selling spreads. Of course, spreads provide more protection, but when you look at the overall profitability, I'm not sure the trade-off is always worth it. Paying the bid/ask spread when entering two legs and then again when exiting can eat into the profitability quite a bit. Managing exposure risk isn't easy, especially on the CALL side. What I try to do is mitigate that risk by selling calls only on very established, relatively low-volatility companies, and only after they've already made a significant move higher—ideally when they're at or near an ATH. I also follow the usual rules, like avoiding earnings and not selling calls after the market has already had a significant selloff. For example, I sold a $KO call a few days ago when the stock was around $91, with a $95 strike. I find it very difficult and highly unlikely (although obviously not impossible) for a company like $KO to gap 100% overnight. And even a 100% gap in this particular case wouldn't blow up my account. Stop losses are indeed my main risk management tool. I understand that when I lose, my losses will be much larger than my average winner. But so far, my small and consistent wins have more than compensated for the losses. For example, I'm winning around 10 trades for every losing trade, but that one loss is typically 4–6x the size of an average winner. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but over time, the results have been very positive so far. The bid/ask spread on options is something we unfortunately have to get used to. There isn't really a solution for it, and when volatility increases significantly, it's a fact that entering or exiting any position will involve much more slippage than usual. Even so, I believe it's manageable. I also want to make it clear that I'm not looking for exorbitant returns. My exposure is generally small and sized according to my capital. If I sell a call on $JNJ, for example, I have at least enough capital to buy 100 shares of $JNJ at the current price. I'm not trying to run this with excessive leverage. And I completely agree that there is no edge in simply selling options indiscriminately. Timing is everything.

Large cap pharma is probably the way to go. If you look at $JNJ and $ABBV and even $PFE this year….they’ve done well. However, ABBV and PFE payout ratio is rather high, so other stocks to look at are $AZN, $MRK and even $GILD with good dividend yields and room to grow their yield since payout ratio is 50% or less.

JNJ

IntolerantModerate

That's too obvious a play. You need to go down chain... Just like GPUs, the money is already made. Forget the sex. What enables it? Lube! And in Thailand that specifically means J&J Baby Oil. Look for a surprise earnings beat in JNJ.

Smooth-Bag-6403

JNJ. Generates a decent dividend. Good price imo. Stable and good growth

Mods4Bers

JNJ edging hard this week

regardus_maximus

JNJ because they make baby oil

Ok_Cry7572

Moderna is following JNJ'S BUSINESS MODEL, first give people cancer and then give them the cure. Amazing if you know what I mean

exphx23

Look for the companies that have consistently paid and grown dividends over the past 50 years. JNJ and KO are good ones to keep.

Revolutionary_Ad2527

Tomorrow probably : Money probably rotates more into healthcare. LLY, ABBV, JNJ, XOM, cvx, ko, wmt, Costco. That fits Tuesday’s leadership, Korea opening with Samsung around 7.6 % and SK Hynix around -9.6% and Brent still near 92 tonight. Futures flat. At the open, I’d expect memory and semis to get hit the hardest, while healthcare, energy, and staples hold up better. By midday, the selling could start to cool off, and later in the day we may see some money move back into big tech. just probably not back into memory yet. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

JNJ is at ATHs

Disastrous-Fun-2958

Historically this is true. I am a long time owner as well & typically trade in & out on swings. But the costs & uncertainty of legal proceedings are going to pull resources from operations. It will also further bruise the already damaged brand. This is potentially a JNJ x10 situation that could affect stock price for years. Hard to see an upswing again in the near future.

fenton7

Flipped JNJ for about a 6% profit after just a few days of holding. Was trying to shift a lot of money over to a defensive position to "buy and hold" but, heck, screw that I'm taking the sector rotation cash and getting it redeployed.

Sufficient-Aide6805

Yawn. Hie many billions did JNJ and 3M pay the last couple years?

IncomingAxofKindness

If people aren't boycotting JNJ over causing literall vaginal cancer in thousands of women... And what % of JNJ's revenue even is Neutrogena. Yeah it's a big brand but they are a massive company.

Majik_Jack

JNJ doesn’t own Neutrogena, genius. All consumer products were spun off into Kenvue which was later acquired Kimberly-Clark.

TroyJack

Just remember to put the fries in the bag. JNJ lost billions to settlements and judgements against them for talc powder over the years and stock barely took a hit. Keeps going up 🤷‍♂️

btsd_

And yet, it actually didnt do shit in semi-longterm. I had JNJ shares that i inherited and never once have I been worries about anything. They can absorb multi-billion dollar lawsuits and being responsible for giving people cancer....i think a boycott by people that dont even know what products to boycott is going to have any affect.

btsd_

Bro, they literally gave people cancer with powder lol, they cleaved that product into a seperate entity, paid a few billion in settlement, and nothing happened. But somehow dropping a spokesperson that died years later and a bunch of tweens/teens/and echo chamber adult idiots hopping on a corpo bad trend makes you think its going to hurt JNJ? Just I put the fucking fries in the bag, and get to the back, theres a line forming behind the dumpster

m0n3ym4n

You know that JNJ spun off Neutrogena to Kenvue right?

dialectical-diva

JNJ is not the play. Its the spinoff Kenvue which owns the Neutrogena brand now.

Mannipx

Only talcum powder takes JNJ out. not tiktok 

mrmrmrj

Neutrogena is a hair follicle on the bushy head of JNJ.

Loverboyatwork

JNJ is fucking huge, I doubt they move the bottom line at all.

Acceptable-Leek1546

NVDA, AMZN, DAVE, META, JNJ, INTR, TRX are some of my holdings. Sold all my MSFT after the run up.

Mods4Bers

I want puts on JNJ

Powerful_Couple_8965

Been tracking this disconnect all year in my portfolio – S&P cruising while my industrial stocks languish. Last week swapped 15% of my position from CAT to MSFT at $450 and already up 8%. Remember 2015? Same vibe when energy collapsed but tech kept climbing. What nobody’s saying: the S&P’s top 10 make up 35% of its weight now. If FAANG sneezes, the index catches a cold regardless of jobs data. My Roth’s up 14% YTD solely from those megacaps carrying my underperforming small-cap picks. Anyone else adjusting sector exposure instead of chasing the index? I’m eyeing healthcare ETFs after this JNJ split news.

zjin2020

For the past few months, Microsoft and JNJ had seen their bonds with lower yields than treasuries at certain points of the market. I had seen the quoted yields from banks at the time.

zooka19

GOOGL, MSFT, maybe some JNJ Broadmarket ETFs. BRK.B possibly despite underperforming atm.

notreallydeep

>"is the market cap low enough that this company can grow significantly" Meanwhile the 10 largest market cap companies over the past decade: AAPL: 1,100%, 28% CAGR GOOG: 900%, 26% CAGR MSFT: 750%, 24% CAGR BRK: 300%, 15% CAGR XOM: 100%, ~11% CAGR with dividends AMZN: 800%, 25% CAGR META: 470%, 19% CAGR JNJ: 160%, ~12.5% CAGR with dividends JPM: 500%, ~22% CAGR with dividends WFC: 75%, ~9% CAGR with dividends

My mom worked at a small investment management company, and as a birth present, her coworkers bought me shares of JNJ. Sadly I no longer have the original stock certificate because I mailed it in to ComputerShare so I could have the stock in my brokerage account. I don't have the original purchase information, but at this point I own 48 shares with a cost basis that I believe is around $0.80/share based on the price around when I was born. This leads to the situation of having a larger percentage gain than dollar gain - up 32,000% but only $12k gain.

NerdSlamPo

so why the hell is JNJ down so much today? just healthcare crashing? its been a pretty rough week for them

Lopsided_Process5141

It was time to move into boomer stocks last month. KO and JNJ been pumping me while everything bleeds. I'll collect those sweet dividends in September and move back to gambling

horesebeblind

Eastman Kodak and Polaroid were part of the “Nifty 50” of the late 1960s. Xerox, JC Penny several others also failed. Coca Cola, JNJ, Pepsi, American Express and IBM still around. Many more. My guess is most of Mag 7 will be around in some form

NerdSlamPo

I'm hiding in my ELF, JNJ, and AMEX. I don't need excitement right now. That can wait until after Mag 7 earnings

Spac55

Time to look for boring dividends $NKE $DIS $WHR $PFE $JNJ and so on When all running out of semi, money rotated to safe house

lightlylevered

On the riskier side with those high beta picks, but in my opinion thats where your risk tolerance should be at your age and income. Maybe swap MU for DRAM ETF. Equivalent, or better, upside with slightly less downside. Just curious though, why JNJ at that allocation? At 2.2% it won't do much to soften volatility from the others.

thisMatrix_isReal

do the opposite of what Jim Cramer is saying and pray he does not nuke a stock/call option you already own, like it happened to me with JNJ recently lol

Mods4Bers

No interest in JNJ? I placed 262.5 puts near the close, 8/7; either a decent scalp or I'm losing money tomorrow.

Mods4Bers

JNJ 262.5 Puts, 8/7 exp, Roast me

Stonkgeniuz

Wonder if JNJ will moon after earnings?

CLYDEFR000G

Rotated to stable dividend payers, they took profits and secured them. Look at big names like PEP, VZ, O, PG, HD, JNJ. The list goes on and on.

Stonkgeniuz

Come on JNJ. Do something

Friendly-Profit-8590

My week hinges on JNJ turning things around quickly and SPY going green tomorrow. Ugh.

Friendly-Profit-8590

So JNJ was going red no matter what they reported?

Shifan224

Did anyone take JNJ lottos

Shifan224

Did anyone take JNJ lottos

Deeznutzsgotcha

Tell me about it. Some of my family is bagholding $GE and $JNJ for 40+ years.

Friendly-Profit-8590

What’s good here? JNJ? I’ve never done well with banks.

JustAnotherGeek12345

Big money has already shifted large portions of their portfolio into defensive stocks, ie JNJ. But yes, we has calls that need to be ITM, so 46 it is!

BetZealousideal7761

And JNJ contracts

heat2051

Don't want to give too much info but my wife's immediate family member was once VERY high up in JNJ so I know quite a bit about the company and the stock particularly. To answer any questions about this stock, all you need to do is look at the historical value and corresponding dividends associated. This isn't a get rich quick stock but if you have money to invest it's a buy and hold. If you have patience and reinvest the dividends you can do very well. My wife and her family became wealthy from this stock doing this. I've read that predictions right now are saying it has the potential to go up to into the mid 350's. Or I'm hopeful at least :)

george_alto

"but also the lawsuits don't matter, stock probably 1000 EoY" Disagree - go look at the 5 year chart for JNJ that has had the Talc lawsuits hanging over them for years. Only recently are they finally going away and the stock is finally moving up a lot because it is a good solid company (stockholder experience talking here)

perogi-king

MSFT = SQQQ. Honestly im giving up on my tech bets for now. My best stocks are all missionary sex (WELL, CAT, JNJ) but I still leave satisfied

george_alto

Unfortunately this is going to go on for years and hang over the company. I'm a stock holder and it's one of reasons I've begun selling shares. I have experience with JNJ which had Talc cancer lawsuits hanging over them for years and although the company was solid and growing, their stock price barely moved. Now the lawsuits are just about over and the stock has taken off (take a look at the 5 year chart). Through the years I was hoping the lawsuits would go away or not impact the company but I waited years. I said I'm not doing this again with META so why I started selling. Think about how many lawsuits they have to settle or go to court with - multiple lawsuits per state and then in other countries too. This will hang over the company for several years.

Superunknown999

GMEX paid $5.60 dividend in January. They do not pay regular quarterly dividends like a company like JNJ would. They also did a 1/9 reverse split so the yield of the last payout is artificially inflated. The payout simply reduces the stock price by the same amount, that’s what all dividends are.

maddogisnextdoor

There is a rotation underway from chips to dividend kings…lot of pharmaceuticals are up big like LLY, JNJ, ABBV, AMGN over the past couple weeks

Happy-Champion1661

MRNA JNJ MRK LLY honestly literally this is the only one that went surprisingly down instead of up, it's a pure value play at this point, it didn't do what it was supposed to do together with the sector. I got few jan28 calls, they are down 20%. Shares might have been a better play idk
