JNJ

Because of the robotics. Isrg has the market now but if JNJ gets into med schools and they have the money and relationships to do so I see thier robotics division being a boon in 10+ years as the medical field rotates. They poached ISRGs founder to lead their robotics division so I figure that’s a good thing.

Vast_Cricket

My 1st 2 stocks ever bought was JNJ and PG. Decades later I still have them grown to an im-proportional scale.

Lopsided_Process5141

JNJ can't possibly go higher. Which is exactly why calls are the illogical logical play

riversandtrees12

I sold JNJ when I was up 100% and regret it. They also just got into robotics to compete with isrg. I’m back to valuing them for a price to buy again after 3 years of being out of them.

JNJ is priced around what analysts targeted right now.[Average price target according to analysts is $242](https://www.stock-table.com/ticker/JNJ/analysts?public_uuid=5a3de941-59e5-41e6-8c95-e78453ae9cf0) with a range between $155 to $285. Their dividend yield of around 3% is less than half of Pfizer.

Okay_Ocean_Flower

Been in JNJ since COVID. They will never skyrocket, but they will pay you a good bit every quarter. If you want cash on hand or a steady state, it’s good for that. ETF will likely grow more.

Not really a good comparison. Buying Kenvue for Tylenol is akin to buying Novo Nordisk for their insulin business. Used by many but the business is matured now. Buying JNJ in the 50s when Tylenol first came out is like buying Novo Nordisk today. For context from 1957 JNJ went up 260,000%.

I've been holding JNJ since 1850

dvdmovie1

I'm up decently for the year. In the past with declines like this (not the market broadly, but some particular names) I'd be more intently looking around, but this time I've just nibbled on a few things. "AI stocks have been crushed, " The same mega cap tech stocks that became overly owned/turned into habitual/default buying despite some of them not doing that great in recent years (some of the Mag 7 have become Bag 7/Lag 7) are down but there's a lot of things that have had a great year. Look at memory, or optics/photonics. AI continues to be a story of invest in where the money is being spent and people keep on wanting to invest in who's spending. AMZN is up 32% in the last 5 years, MCD is +35%, JNJ is +49%, KO +46%. MSFT is up 52% in the last 5 years. You could have done better in garbage with WM (+82%) or RSG (+123%.) This was true before the recent decline, as well - some Mag 7 names just haven't performed well in recent years. Jassy hasn't been a great replacement for Bezos and as for Bezos, how many huge blocks of shares did he dump every time it hit $200 for a while? "but these are the times to buy, when everything looks so bleak...." The S&P is down 4%. There are parts of the market that have certainly fared worse, but we got to what, a 10% decline off the top? That used to be viewed as relatively common and healthy, now it's treated as apocalyptic.

dvdmovie1

"goog, msft, nvda, amzn," GOOG fine, NVDA fine but the other two meh. Too many people still running the playbook of just buy mega cap tech. Even before this started, you'd have done better in boring things than AMZN (currently up 33% over the last 5 years; MCD +36%, JNJ +49%, KO +44%) and MSFT (currently up 52% over the last 5 years, WM +76%, PM +78% and WMT +175%.) With Mag 7, IMO choose your best one or two ideas. So many people didn't want oil or metals when this year started, they've done very well (gold still up YTD despite volatility) and to me, the current state of things continues to make the case for owning real assets. I added mildly to some gold miners last week, which will be down today but were up huge over the last couple. Even in tech, there's been so many things that have outperformed mega caps this year - photonics/optics and despite recent declines, memory names. Power/"ai adjacent" related names still doing well, too - BE down 20% this month and still up 34% YTD. I own a good deal of AI/AI-adjacent stuff that I still like, I own a lot of real asset names/etfs and don't really want to add further to either. Have found an idea or two during this to add on dips (FTAI) and there's some fairly dull odds/ends in healthcare that are getting interesting. Have boosted commercial solar (further additions to NXT and one other new name.)

The stock hasn’t done anything for me in 5 years. I bought some up some down near 80 but I’m pulling it to add to my JNJ. Not saying I won’t buy in again I think DIS can make it. I love the parks but now seems to be not the time for me.

Didn’t JNJ cause cancer and has a lawsuit against them or did Mango sign an executive order? 🤔

That’s why you buy huge MOAT stocks like Union Pacific, P and G, JNJ, KO. I wish they WOULD drop an insane level as I’d buy like a wolf getting steak.

jentle-music

Park your money at Fidelity (because a bank or credit union might be folding up and you’d lose your money…FDIC is a joke! Plus, banks now have “bail-ins” not bailouts…Google this?)… wait for the market to hit a soft bottom (about 30-40% down from today) and buy stable dividend stocks called “Dividend Kings” (JNJ, WMT, PG, KO, etc) just to get the exposure and experience. Then take some decent investment courses that show you puts, calls, etc. Get educated. Am proud of you wanting to learn saavy investing so your future can be happy.

You’re actually on a very good track — the mindset shift from stock picking → structured allocation is the big win. A few quick thoughts: • Your allocation is a bit overcomplicated. VOO + SPYG already overlap a lot (both US growth), so you’re more tech-heavy than you think • 40% individual stocks is quite high at your stage — that’s where most hidden risk comes from • VXUS addition is good — that’s real diversification If I were simplifying: → Core: VOO + VXUS (70–90%) → Satellite: individual stocks (10–30%) On lump sum vs DCA: Statistically lump sum wins, but DCA is totally fine if it helps you stay consistent (which matters more at your level). Defensive stocks (JNJ, PMI) are fine, but don’t overestimate them — they still drop in market crashes. True diversification = different asset classes, not just “less volatile stocks”. Honestly your biggest risk isn’t timing — it’s hidden overlap and complexity. I’ve been using this to sanity check allocations and see real diversification vs perceived: [https://portfoliomemo.com](https://portfoliomemo.com)

Brother I love the enthusiasm and your knowledge is impressive. But ortho is a small segment. Spine is massive and Stryker ain’t it for spine. Ortho is heavily reliant on depuy (JNJ) Stryker, Zimmer, and others. You are totally right SGRY might well be fucked but it won’t be just because of Stryker. I’ve spoken to several directors across the country at Stryker and the only issue with orthopedic implants in their contingency plan right now is with an additional step in total hips.

Unless WWIII breaks out, I'll stick with a mix of stable blue chip tech and stable blue chip consumer staple stocks. AMD, AAPL, JNJ, KO like that.

The longer it lasts, the worse it becomes for the markets. I already picked up KO, JNJ, CL & KMB. If my high volatility stocks start declining (AMD, NVDA, AAPL, PANW and a few others), I will unload and go safe with more consumer staple stocks.

u_spawnTrapd

interesting mix. I get the appeal of pairing steady dividend names like O, JNJ, and KO with something higher upside like BTC. Only thing I’d be careful about is counting crypto yield as the same quality of income as dividends from established companies. The risk profile feels very different, especially if the goal is to fully live off it in a year or two. Curious how you’re thinking about downside scenarios. If we hit a rough market or crypto drawdown right when you’re planning to rely on the income, would you scale back or keep riding it out?

Kinda old news but JNJ is doing some expansion again in Pennsylvania. https://www.jnj.com/media-center/press-releases/johnson-johnson-expands-u-s-footprint-with-more-than-1-billion-investment-in-next-generation-cell-therapy-manufacturing-facility-in-pennsylvania The facility will use cutting-edge cell therapy technologies to support J&J's portfolio of medicines targeting cancer, immune-mediated diseases, and neurological conditions. It is expected to create over 500 skilled biomanufacturing jobs once operational and more than 4,000 construction jobs during development. Seems like onshoring is still bullish and signals confidence in the oncology/immunology markets. No positions.

dvdmovie1

AMZN is up 27% in the last 5 years. McDonald's +54%, Coke +57%, JNJ +50%, Bezos left in 2021, I think Jassy hasn't been the replacement people hoped. Buffett probably didn't sell it, but whoever did perhaps also thinks that the capex goes on for longer people believe (and even when it eventually slows, will probably still stay elevated vs history: build a shit ton of data centers and you now have facilities where so many things are going to have an upgrade cycle/need replacing for many years. Where companies are spending continues to be a better bet than who is spending and all of this spending begets more spending - all the future orders for semis/semicap, equipment, cables, cooling, etc etc etc.

Fair question and I again asked AI (Gemini) the same question, i.e., I asked, "Is this statement true or false, "Amazon has been outperformed over the last 5 years by McDonald's, Coke and JNJ. MSFT has been outperformed by Phillip Morris, Walmart, Waste Management and Exxon over the last half decade." This is what it said: Based on data through **early 2026**, the statement is **False**. While it is true that slow-growth, defensive stocks like McDonald's (MCD) or Coca-Cola (KO) sometimes outperform tech stocks over very short timeframes (like the 2022 market downturn), the statement is false over a 5-year **total return** horizon (which includes reinvested dividends). Here is the data-driven breakdown: # 1. Amazon (AMZN) vs. MCD, KO, JNJ Amazon has significantly outperformed these consumer staples over the last five years. * **Amazon (AMZN):** Has benefited from massive growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and e-commerce dominance, resulting in a **higher total return** despite a sharp drop in 2022. * **Staples:** While McDonald's, Coke, and Johnson & Johnson are stable income generators, they have grown at a much slower rate. # 2. Microsoft (MSFT) vs. PM, WMT, WM, XOM Microsoft has dramatically outperformed this group over the last five years. * **Microsoft (MSFT):** Driven by cloud computing (Azure) and the integration of AI, Microsoft has been one of the market's best performers. * **The Comparison:** * **Walmart (WMT):** While performing exceptionally well for a retailer, it has not matched Microsoft's returns. * **Exxon Mobil (XOM):** Despite a massive surge in energy prices, Exxon's 5-year total return is still lower than Microsoft's. * **Waste Management (WM) & Philip Morris (PM):** These are stable, slower-growth stocks that have not kept pace with the tech sector.

Blade3colorado

"Amazon has been outperformed over the last 5 years by McDonald's, Coke and JNJ. MSFT has been outperformed by Phillip Morris, Walmart, Waste Management and Exxon over the last half decade." Bullshit. No idea where you got that information. While Amazon experienced a significant drop in 2022, its rapid recovery and sustained growth in AWS (cloud computing) have resulted in a higher total return than the listed staples you named over the full 5-year period. Microsoft has significantly outperformed this group over the last five years.

dvdmovie1

Neither. Invest in what they're spending an inordinate amount of money on. Much of Mag 7 has become Lag 7 because money is running to where Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Apple are going to spend $600B+ this year. The "invest in where they're spending, not in who's spending" theme has been such the better bet vs mega cap tech for 2-3 years now and yet Mag 7 is the primary topic on here. Microsoft is going to be an asset-heavy company going forward that will have to maintain a massive fleet of data centers, every single one of which will have all manner of things inside that have an upgrade cycle or will simply need to be replaced. Spending begets spending - eventually the capex will slow but it will remain elevated vs history and every data center built is just future orders for so many companies. Amazon has been outperformed over the last 5 years by McDonald's, Coke and JNJ. MSFT has been outperformed by Phillip Morris, Costco, Waste Management and Exxon. At what point does Mag 7 being outperformed by Mag 7 for old people do people lose interest/stop and maybe re-assess? "I’ve been digging into both Microsoft and Amazon, and they both look roughly fairly valued right now depending on what growth assumptions you use." Tell me why not from a valuation standpoint but from a business standpoint why either. What is the thesis for owning one of the above?

Few_Challenge2557

some of the tech stocks are considered blue chips though. If you mean like JNJ or KO maybe, but i dont see the appeal as they dont have much growth anymore. Investors want high growth companies, the next big thing, not something that will give them 2% to 4% every month.

Anxious_Cheetah5589

Probably true in mega cap tech. Stodgy dividend payers have done very well lately (PFE, CAT, JNJ, WMT, MRK, VZ, etc). It feels like a collapse if you're overweight tech, but it's really just a healthy rotation.

When I look for a wheel ticker, I usually open the options chain on moomoo first and check different DTEs, deltas and how stable the monthly premiums look. Stocks like O, JNJ or KO make the differences pretty clear because moomoo lets you compare greeks and liquidity across contracts side by side. Helps a lot when you’re trying to find something you can roll for years.
