I Hate what the market has turned into but KVUE/JNJ is a lil wild
Advice please: Dump JNJ and OMER? RHHBY? It's an IRA so I can't just add $ but looking to improve as much as possible with what's in the account (my risk tolerance is moderately high). Appreciate any/all help!
Mentions
I'm hiding in my ELF, JNJ, and AMEX. I don't need excitement right now. That can wait until after Mag 7 earnings
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
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.
JNJ 262.5 Puts, 8/7 exp, Roast me
Wonder if JNJ will moon after earnings?
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.
My week hinges on JNJ turning things around quickly and SPY going green tomorrow. Ugh.
So JNJ was going red no matter what they reported?
Tell me about it. Some of my family is bagholding $GE and $JNJ for 40+ years.
What’s good here? JNJ? I’ve never done well with banks.
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!
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 :)
"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)
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
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.
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.
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
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
I feel like LLY, CAT and JNJ dont get the respect they deserve here
JNJ and LLY are some of my best stocks. Definitely have been crushing my MSFT and GOOG
LLY, JNJ, and CAT are some of my “non-tech” holdings and are doing great. Currently im looking at energy stocks like CEG, travel stocks like BKNG and real estate stock WELL. Good luck
Agree. JNJ, MRNA, ABBV, just to name a few, all hit new highs last Weds. When tech gets dropped, healthcare gets some of the rotation.
Ask yourself. Genuinely. Why the FUCK would you put your money in healthcare, like JNJ, over AMD and MU? Because of FUD headlines and CNBC? Load up now and just be quiet. Some of you are hopeless man
Sheesh semis but especially NVDA SUCK!!! Yet we are seeing breakouts in sectors like healthcare and JNJ. The rotation narrative is in effect tbh. Hoping mañana NVDA MU and RKLB pump up
JNJ and MSFT has performed really well, and may continue to do so if the ai investments slow down.
META MSFT JNJ Yes it's been a horrible 3 years...haha
Kind of just cherry-picking stocks at their lows though. If you bought JNJ in January 2020 you were pretty much exactly flat all the way through liberation day last year. I'm sure you could do the same if you pick ranges on any stock based off its multi-year lows.
> The stock is up 34% over the last 5 years and down 25% YTD, including the worst month since 2008. If someone is a shareholder for the last 2-3 years, they've listened to endless discussion of all things MSFT is doing in AI but haven't participated and could have done better in JNJ instead, which is the stock equivalent of watching paint dry. > > Someone could have closed their eyes and pointed to a random semiconductor name over the last 2-3 years and probably done better or substantially better. This information isn't useful or actionable. Past performance is not proof of future returns. Value investing does require a lot more patience than growth/momentum investing. Because it can take years for EPS or shareholder distributions to catch up with the losses from earnings multiple contractions. You shouldn't buy a stock because someone on Reddit told you to, you should only buy it if you actually believe in it FLKR was a good example. I bought in in 2024 due to my bullish view on SK Hynix/Samsung and overall cheap valuations. I watched as my investment dove 10-20% in a matter of months despite strong fundamentals. But it took patience before investor sentiment to turn around once SK Hynix and Samsung started making a lot of money.
> Microsoft's AI spending has paid off, The stock is up 34% over the last 5 years and down 25% YTD, including the worst month since 2008. If someone is a shareholder for the last 2-3 years, they've listened to endless discussion of all things MSFT is doing in AI but haven't participated and could have done better in JNJ instead, which is the stock equivalent of watching paint dry. Someone could have closed their eyes and pointed to a random semiconductor name over the last 2-3 years and probably done better or substantially better. Yes, MSFT has delivered earnings growth but at some point it has to translate to share price and 2-3 years of storytelling and extraordinary spending without share price gains to me is a disconnect worth exploring + some degree of holding the company accountable rather than just default buying "known" things without question. Too many people on here have bought the MSFT dip over the last year on here only to have it turn into a 7 layer dip. Too many people going on "it's Microsoft and Mag 7 was a thing for a long time right?" and not looking at anything beyond that, then endless complaining on here about MSFT underperforming things like JNJ over 5 years (and the last couple, as well), which is a long-time - especially in a world like this where people on here are going "WHY IS MY STOCK DOWN" when something is -2% in a day.
You could have done better in JNJ over the last 5 years.
> amzn will still deliver. Over the last 5 years, JNJ (+51%) has beat AMZN (+34%)
Looking at the DOW, I forgot about JNJ. I wrote them off back in 2023 because they always seemed to have some problem. JFC, look at them know, moving like a semi.
Rotation not too surprising; you have names like CRM down 15 straight days and MSFT down 20% since 6/1 while BE corrects 20% then goes up like 50% in 12 days and every semi name basically only goes up. Do I like something like CRM? No, but the long AI/short software trade feels crowded again. At some point have to wonder whether MSFT and AMZN shareholders will start to not tolerate the spending, especially given that over the last 5 years you'd have done better in KO and JNJ than owning either. (MSFT +38%, AMZN +36%, JNJ +40%, KO +46%.)
PLTR NVDA and HOOD all have the same problem. they move 5 to 10% on random days and youll get blown through your strike when you least expect it. for a sketchy market id stick with slow movers like KO, JNJ, the big banks. premium is lower but you actually get to keep the shares
AMZN over the last 5 years: +41% JNJ over the last 5 years: +45% KO over the last 5 years: +49% MSFT over the last 5 years: +51% WM over the last 5 years: +59% BRKB over the last 5 years: +80% IBM over the last 5 years +98% WMT over the last 5 years +168%
It's an S&P health care ETF, it's not anything crazy. LLY, UNH, PFE, JNJ, etc
They consider JNJ to be an AI stock We are in a bubble
I looked at JNJ numbers again. Pretty solid all around. I already own lots of LILY so perhaps a split between JNJ and VRTX would be more wise for stability. Thanks for the idea
Jnj is certainly safer, but I like the VRTX + DHR split more for upside. Are you bullish on JNJ making the leap past their current level?
Hey, props for starting at 18 — that compound interest head start is going to be huge. A few thoughts: On the broker question: Robinhood is fine honestly, especially with the 3% Roth IRA match. Fidelity and Schwab are the other popular picks — better research tools, more reliable customer service, and no PFOF concerns. But don't overthink the broker part, it matters way less than what you actually buy. On your strategy: You said growth + dividends and "a bit risky" — those kind of pull in different directions, so here's how I'd think about it at 20: * Roth IRA → max this out first ($7k/year). Since you won't touch it for decades, go heavy on growth here (VOO, QQQ, or individual growth stocks). The beauty of a Roth is you'll never pay taxes on the gains. * Individual account → this is where dividend stocks make more sense. Build a portfolio of solid dividend payers (think SCHD for an ETF, or individual names like O, KO, JNJ, ABBV if you want to pick stocks). Reinvest every dividend while you're young — the snowball effect is real. For learning: * "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham (the classic) * On YouTube: Joseph Carlson has great content on dividend portfolio building, very practical * r/dividends is a solid sub for that specific strategy One thing that really helped me stay motivated was actually tracking my dividend income month by month. seeing that number go up every quarter keeps you disciplined when the market dips. You're asking the right questions at the right age. Just stay consistent and don't chase meme stocks with your core portfolio. Good luck!
Look at the valuation on TSLA over the last 10 years, these companies don’t obey fundamentals, this isn’t PG or JNJ, TSLA and SPCX run on hype, which is how they’re able to maintain insane valuations indefinitely.
Calling JNJ, JPM, WMT, CAT, CVX, and hotels “AI plays” is doing some serious mental gymnastics lol. AI is a huge theme across the entire market, you would've made this comment no matter what set of stock tickers I threw up there.
My bad, I should have specified - my large caps are fairly tech heavy and my mid and small caps and international holdings have a momentum leaning so you can imagine it's been a turbulent few days. Thankfully though, my value positions are doing pretty alright, with pretty solid holdings in healthcare especially holding me up(AMGN, JNJ, UNH).
that's not really true, take a look at many stocks across different industries: \- JNJ \- JPM \- GE \- MAR / HLT \- WMT \- CAT \- CVX There have been huge winners in industrials, manufacturing, commercial goods, travel, tech, finance, etc. believing that semi conductors are the only thing driving the market is nothing more than a myth.
Exact same pattern as Friday. Boring ass consumer staples are up crazy numbers (yes 1.5-2% is crazy for KO, PEP, JNJ,O)
Keep me safe UNH and JNJ 🥹
I’ve decided to protect my gains by adding some boring defensive positions: JNJ, PG, PEP, KO, WMT, VT. They will all just keep on their slow upward march and avoid any 20% crashes. Sleeping very well at night.. I’m not selling my AI/semi winners, just not chasing them right now until my portfolio is more balanced.
I hate to break it to you, but as the Sun runs out of fuel, it will likely expand, enveloping Earth. JNJ ultra leap calls are the correct play, as everyone would need SPF9000 sunscreen.
I don't know if Wendy's is that kind of company. Morale of the story is a relative of mine worked many years as an executive at $JNJ she told me for years here financial advisor has begged her to invest in something other than $JNJ. She said she will never abandon her $JNJ bags. Something tells me that she's probably an undercover billionaire with those diamond hands.
Crazy - I was thinking of PG and JNJ myself. Though not options but shares
Time to move into boomer DOW stocks like JNJ and UNH and KO. As the AI hype train fades profits will move into safe bets until the next pump.
I am doubtful. If the last quarter was unable to initiate BUYs on these stocks I don't know what will. Maybe 2028 when more do the data centers are up and running, so the plays have become longer than I initially expected. I actually sold out of JNJ and KVUE and decreased my diversification to buy more shares due to the extremely low pricing in my opinion. Looks like we have a long time to accumulate more as each green day is followed by 5 reds.
JNJ divested their baby oil business a few years ago
JNJ- dividend paying 💰💰 and baby oil 🛢 producing value stock!
I got lucky in INTC. I repair computers all day long. For me I missed AMD (dumbass) but bought INTEL. shoulda, woulda, coulda. We be old now and holding on to our XOM, SO, CSCO and JNJ. If I were younger I'd put 20% into SPCX this month. Maybe 5% first week then 15% after July 4th.
Insurance like ALL or PGR (PGR is 15% of my portfolio). Pharma like JNJ or Merck. PFE has a nice dividend. everyone oughta have an energy stock of some sort like CVX, XOM, or just buy the XLE etf. Hold something outside the us like EWZ or EWC. I think this AI event is a wave, like Josh brown said. It’ll end like everything does, but you’ve gotta ride it.
Go for the pick and shovel play Nvidia to generate the content Nbis to house the content Asts to beam the content Rddt to find the content JNJ to clean up the mess
NVDA is all the sudden acting like JNJ
I'm afraid I agree with you. I've held a small bag of HD for a long time, \~10 years, thinking it was pretty safe along with JNJ, JPM, XOM, V you know the 'boring players' but they can't get steady legs under them. I just can't get myself to buy puts though either..
In a pigeon poo rush, sell baby wipes. Calls on JNJ
Dude, you just got out of college. Time is on your side. Investing anything is better than nothing. You have a massive timeline. You don't need to be worrying about moonshots to save for retirement. You can gain a fortune with just doing what works. First of all, ditch the idea about fractional shares, nobody is looking at your portfolio saying "this guy only has .30 shares?" Honestly, if I were you, I'd either just throw it in an spy fund, or schg. The other option is just pick literally the best company in each sector of 5-7 fortress level stocks ( I know people are going to say over priced, but I'm saying pure quality). I want margins, moat, brand strength, logistical powerhouse, and future facing. Some of these are suited to my taste, but I hope you get the point. I'd add a tech, staple, financial, industrial, material, health care, and discretionary For staple Honestly I know it's stupidly expensive but id just buy Costco or Walmart. L'Oreal, Pepsi, and pg are good too. Industrial I'm going Honeywell, cintas, unp, and waste management. Tech Nvidia, MSFT, Amazon, Google, apple, meta, asml (I prefer a growth ETF so I can just own them all) Discretionary Ferrari, Hermes, home Depot, Starbucks, McDonald's, and TJ Maxx. Materials By far linde. Again stupidly expensive but is an amazing company that has its hands in everything investors get excited about. Financials Just go with the GOAT and get brk.b. master card or visa are great too. Health care Im just going JNJ for a first stock. You will be diversified in the best companies on earth, and be well diversified. You need to get your base set up. Honestly just getting out of college, I wouldn't be worried about "the stock is too expensive." Companies like these are set to grow. Most on the list pay dividends and increase them outrageously fast (which is a nice bonus). I guarantee if you had 5-7 of these stocks, in 10 years you will be wayyy happier with your return than a portfolio consisting of hype tech stocks.
I like cybersecurity—I have CRWD and NET. I also like biotech and healthcare—I have JNJ and AMGN. I also recommend you own some of the hyperscalers which are basically ETFs since they have so many different revenue streams (GOOGL, AMZN and MSFT). I don’t own META out of principle, they’re addicting a whole generation, limiting their attention span and ruining their self esteem.
Everyone add SMCI, do it today, these are the other ones I recommend previously and you can check the results, JNJ $151, QCOM $130, TSLA $243, NVDA $182, ASML $1120, AMD $95
Hell yeah, I am not too much of a buy and hold guy but I made the mistake of getting out of some big stocks too early trying to time the market and being a fearful investor which comes with a lot of regrets along with a lot of wins. I am trying to accept a little loss and being able to hold onto stuff longer as the best investors “forget about there investments”.I do think it will hit 140 again but it will take years but that’s just my outlook. JNJ and Abbvie have killed for me and I’m glad I got them, ABT is 22% of my taxable investment account(I have 3 other accounts so it’s not a huge chunk of my portfolio all together) it’s the only loss in my whole portfolio so it’s scary lol I appreciate your response, what makes you think it won’t hit its 52 week high?
Time to load up Pfizer Moderna and JNJ?
Stop trying to time the market, you're in your 30s. And you can't cry over spilt milk. Right before the pandemic I had about $400 invested in DOGE. When they sent us all home I decided that I shouldn't waste any money and sold all my investments, which at the time was next to nothing because I was poor. Maybe 2K total. That $400 would have been worth about $200K in the blink of an eye. I was upset for a long time. My point is you can't worry about what could have been with investments, likely in life as well. I've had a ton of wins since then, including investing about $25K in NVDA at about $87 per share, which I recently just sold. Your goal is to turn your money into more money, no matter how small the gain it's a win. Invest the bulk of what you have available into the sure things. Amazon, Google, Big AI, Microsoft, UNH (great dividends). Companies that you are near certain will be successful and around when you are near retirement age. Apple, Blackstone, JNJ, Costco, LLY, Semiconductors, Oil & Gas. When they drop in price, BUY MORE. The remaining cash you can afford to gamble with is just that, a gamble. Take what risk you feel is reasonable with it. I have about 20K invested in EXOD right now, around $9 per share. It's a risk, but I feel confident Crypto will rise again at some point and so will its investment platforms. TROX has been good to me. Great dividends (3.12%) and after putting 5K-10K into it at around $3 per share, finally sold at $10. NVTS (Semiconductor) same story but without the dividends. "99% of gamblers quit right before they hit big" Be smart with your bets. Winning small is still winning.
The concern that I have is when I look across the restaurant industry and it's been not a great time for a while. I think there is a point where people start to trade down/look elsewhere/eat less. CMG is down 35% in the last year, SG just had like -12% comps in their earnings yesterday or the day before. BROS is down about 18% in the last year. In the ultra short-term, with an RSI of 23, maybe you get a bounce out of SHAK but when I look across the restaurant landscape, doesn't look great and any further indication of consumer weakness might send it lower. Long-term, SHAK went public a bit over 10 years ago and I remember the excitement people had about it. A little over 10 years later, it's up 50% since then and there's been a number of 50% drops along the way. So you could have done much better with an index fund and you could have done twice as well (and much less stress) with boring JNJ. So, maybe a very short-term trade for a bounce but beyond that the consumer landscape is starting to look a little fragile and long-term it's not been a very good stock.
There were so many penny stocks that were trade-able because of Covid. In the end, it was JNJ PFE and MRNA. They’re expensive. I hope the Hanta news comes to the stocks again. I thrived during the last pandemic. I have been lost since. Let’s go pandemic 2.0!
This is what I do, and it's worked out well. I have JNJ types in one bucket and moonshot types in the other bucket.
I regret not buying JNJ 100 years ago, but i wasn't even born
I see JNJ's forward dividend at 2.36%.
Why KO and JNJ? I don’t see their market cap growing much if at all.
you need more balance. i say buy these 4 stocks: KO, GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL, JNJ or get these 5: KO, GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL, JNJ, JPM, CVX
META and MSFT are my 2 largest positions. It's been a horrendous year. I was really looking forward to today since last October and for them to continue to drop breaks my heart. Thank God I have my JNJ to dry my tears.
VM what do you think about puts on JNJ for July strike 210
If you’re gonna be buying individual stocks you need to be buying AAPL, AMZN, NVDA, JNJ. That’s all I’ve done and I’ve gotten a 100% return. I also never sell stock. I am very ignorant when it comes to investing and the stock world, but by buying and holding blue chip stocks I’ve done pretty well. My only regret has been that I wish I invested more.
VM why is JNJ moving like a tech stock and should we sell calls
JNJ is dipping nicely today. Good time to add to that if you own or don’t own any already.
I'm glad JNJ is a part of my portfolio for that reason. Some of the tech stocks are just so beaten down regardless of earnings it's interesting to me.
JNJ for long term. Good pipeline.
Healthcare is the next sector to take the AI boom train, dont miss it! Lots of catalysts for $HIMS $NVO $LLY $JNJ $CURE
Even if JNJ has a big beat it can't go higher can it? Calls
JNJ earnings tommorow. Shit juat keeps going up
Which results matter most tomorrow? Banks are making out like bandits on this volatility but reflective of the wider economy. JNJ looks expensive and they're exposed to energy costs and consumer demand. They could be important one.
Thanks for sharing your take. I don’t discredit ISRG. I think they are the best in class, however I grew up with Microsoft suites in school and now it’s all Apple. Today it’s all ISRG but I think in 25 years JNJ will be in all medical schools. I am watching it as of now not pulling any triggers.
JNJ is a good stock. They're going to be focused on growth over the next 2 years now that they have sold out of KVUE and other it's very safe with their monopoly on many necessary pharmaceuticals. I would absolutely hold onto it, into their next stock split.
All red except for KO, PG and JNJ. I always wonder if it's just retail panic selling tech and going into defensive positions only to sell them a week later and buy PLTR again.
