1. Post tax, avoid REITs. Their main advantage is avoiding taxes if you do so, otherwise they tend to be mediocre. 2. Think growth. You're presumably young - KO is never going to be a big grower again. KO, PG, JNJ - fairly fine stocks when you're at retirement age and just want something reliable but they're never going to set the world on fire again. Diversify while you're young - not into specific stocks but indexes like VTI. 3. Forget about dividends - they're forced taxable events. The tax rate for dividends is the same as long term (qualified) dividends. There's no difference between selling when you want to and getting dividends, other than that dividends force you to take it. Invest wisely and sell when you need to, and you'll end up better.

I think for a lot of people there's also the value of time. For a lot of people, index funds are great. You can take a few minutes once a month or whatever, add a little and then largely forget about it. Your required involvement is minimal. Can you do well in the market not indexing? Yes, but it takes a lot of time and research - and that's no guarantee of success. I wake up at ridiculous hours looking at companies in other countries, reading news/articles and looking for ideas. I think about the market a lot of the time and try to work through ideas/allocation/themes/etc. But I love it - understandably a lot of people don't/wouldn't and that's okay. What works for me works for me. Other people are going to have a very different approach and that's great, too. You have to have an approach that works for you, when you start trying someone's else's approach out of FOMO that's when problems often happen. I don't know that index funds are "low risk" - can easily lose 20-30% (see 2022 or the decline earlier this year), but you don't have single stock risk. "They're convinced that crypto like Bitcoin is easy because you can just play into its cycles, or make easy money with quick-selling IPOs, or just taking advantage of obvious slumps (Tariff stuff this year). It only takes a bit of active attention, and the traditional mindset of crypto being super risky is outdated." I've said recently that I think a lot of the last 5 years has created unrealistic expectations and stuff like this just sort of reaffirms that. It can (and has) gone on longer than I could've imagined but it works until it doesn't (2022, 2025) and I think too many people have this playbook with their portfolio that is positioned for "everything is awesome" and the moment it's slightly less than awesome they complain that the market is broken and what is happening!?!? I've often said lately that posts titled, "WHY IS MY STOCK CRATERING?" used to be about something down 10%+. Now it's much more common and when you look, inevitably the stock is down 2-3%. Agree with what someone else said in the comments: "Index funds aren't too safe they're literally designed to capture market growth over time without the bullshit. Yeah someone always has a story about making a killing on crypto or catching the perfect IPO. What they don't brag about are all their losses." Also, this: "Being in your 20s or 30s doesn’t mean you need to gamble — it means you have time to let compounding work.' Agree with this. Too many people want to get rich overnight and swing for the fences with every pitch then are surprised when an options bet doesn't go their way after a number of successes and they strike out entirely. Singles and doubles aren't thrilling but they do add up over time. "It makes me feel fairly inadequate, as if I'm just playing it too safe" I don't think you're playing it too safe at all with 100% index funds. I will say that I don't agree with people who are 20-30 and they are in KO and PG and JNJ and emphasize dividend income and generally invest as if they are AARP age - *that* is too safe and risks people not achieving goals later on.

TuffGenius

The one bear case I see is on July 30 US Q2 GDP will be released. I expect this to be negative. The most recent Q1 estimate was (0.5%) compared an expected +2%. 2 quarters of negative GDP will mean the US is in recession. There are US companies that historically make money in recession. A good list is called “dividend kings”. About 55 companies who have paid and raised their dividend consecutively for 50 years. (PG, KO, JNJ, CL,HRL, TR etc) Dividend kings is what I recommend people to buy right now, and while US in recession. I caution people to not buy overpriced (impossible PE) stocks bc they have the largest amount of downside.

I sell monthly puts on PFE. Haven't gotten assigned yet but wouldn't mind if I do. Yes it's been the red headed stepchild in the Pharma world among LLY, JNJ, Abbvie etc. But even post Covid it still has massive revenue and a solid future with anti cancer drugs after Seagen acquisition. Few hundred bucks a month in premiums for now. Gonna write some more for next Friday after my current batch of COP puts expires tomorrow.

TSLA fell of my technical buy list this week. MCD, KO, JNJ… as well as the European stock ETF (IEUR) and China ETF (KWEB) all performing poorly this week. Also noted the short US treasury ETF hit a technical sell today indicating rates will drop (could indicate the market is anticipating recessionary pressure). GOOGL fell off my buy list as well as RSP (equal weight S&P etf) and DIA (Dow industrials ETF). This was the second week in a row where my approved buy list has decreased in number. Several things JUST made the cut… the general picture I’m seeing is some weakness setting into the market. It was not a good week. More pain this next week… no short term expiration calls… cash or puts are the play. Good luck!

Yes. Also buy 13 shares of JNJ, diversify into groceries with 25 shares of KR, and trim your SPY holdings to buy 12 shares of GLD to hedge against inflation and market instability. Seriously wtf are you doing with this question?

TheInkDon1

Interesting, and I was sure someone would bring this up. I 'thought' 5 years was enough of a lookback (it is for me), especially when talking about trading around an underlying *weekly or* less. Because to me it's like this: remember integration from HS or college Calculus? What's the slope of this itty-bitty part of this curve? Or maybe a better example, approximating a curve with tiny-tiny linear segments? To me, this is like that. Yeah, if I were going to plonk my money into something and not look at at for 20 years, then yeah, maybe an Index fund is better for me. (And I love your numbers about 80%/20% and 70%/30%, I'll have to look into that. Because I think they speak to this point I just made.) But why would I do that? (Why would *anyone* do that, tbh.) Can I look at my investments once every 5 years, at least? Maybe every year? Then pick the 'thing' that's going up the most/best? (I'm an unabashed momentum-follower on top of this other crazy stuff.) Do you see where I'm going? Maybe we don't need to look at the market over 50 years, or 20, or 10, or even 5. Maybe 1 year is enough to get a feel for what's going on. I'm taking that 50- or 20-year history and integrating it, dicing it up, looking at smaller and smaller time slices. And what do I see in those ever-smaller slices? How about [gold vs the S&P500 for the last 5 years?](https://imgur.com/a/FWumVaL) Wow, in 2021 "the market" was the place to be. 2022 though, not so much: GLD lost much less, percentage-wise. Interestingly, you could zoom in to 4 years, then 3 years, then 2 years, then 1 year, then 6 months, then 3 months, and find gold beating the S&P in every one of those cases. But this for me isn't about gold "winning" over the long term, it's about gold *behaving*. Behaving better than "the market," better than Apple, better than Walmart, JNJ, COST, PFE. Better than most non-index ETFs: VUG, VTV, IWF, etc. In short, better than ANYTHING I've found yet. That's why I like to trade it. But back to your point: gold "spiking down and staying down for a long period." **Does is it, though?** That's my question to you. Looking back over [110 years](https://imgur.com/a/tu27iBn) it sure seems like it does. But is that because we're "zoomed out"? What did it look like to investors in real time? It's hard to get a graph of gold over 100 years on Yahoo Finance, and GLD only goes back to about 2005, but I'm going to use that to zoom in on that "spike down" in \~2011. (Btw, I'm doing this as much for me now as to answer you, if you start wondering why I'm putting so much time into it.)

NoMorning5015

I've been trying to divine a reason for the recent weakness in BSX. They discontinued a product a few weeks ago, citing regulatory costs, but it was a blip in their earnings and cannot account for the entire drop. My second guess is increased competition from JNJ for a heart product, and there is a bit of divergence in share price between the two over the past few weeks. Anyone else following bsx?

Fucking air quality is shit. Never had allergies in my life and this year I am fucking miserable Calls on JNJ

dvdmovie1

It's a micro cap biotech with about 30% of the float short it's going to be very volatile. You also have a stock that was down 75% YTD (and it's only June) - a bounce isn't out of the question after a move like that. "Now I see a class action lawsuit pop up against them for actively lying to their investors" You're going to see class actions on probably anything down 50% YTD and the year is barely halfway through. "So seeing nothing else and all the analysts " Don't go on analyst reports in general, but especially on something like small/micro cap biotech. "A week or two ago there was a post here that recommended Iovance as a strong buy." I saw people talking this up in the high single digits late last year. -75% or so later.... I have spent a fair amount of time on biotech over the last couple of years and did reasonably well - have had three buyouts this year alone - but it's very hard. Rewarding - because it's fascinating as someone trying to learn - but easily the most difficult sector of the market. I don't share what I invest in nearly as much as I used to on here in general but I rarely ever have shared biotech because the risks are significant and they really require having a very strong thesis. "attractive investment to anyone (and I am very much in that camp) looking to diversify into some medical stocks." When you get into something like IOVA you can't expect it to trade like JNJ - it's going to trade with the volatility of an option. If you want to diversify into healthcare, I'd diversify into things that are established. Biotech - especially when you get into tiny small/micro caps - is the kind of thing where maybe it is worth $10 but it could go from $9 to $2 to $10. Or maybe it's a 0. (shrug) I have lessened my exposure to biotech this year - not having as many ideas, the continued impact of higher rates on companies that go through cash, etc. So, not familiar with the company so I don't know what the stock will do but extreme volatility is the price of admission when investing in stuff like this.

Soossaaaa

I've been scoping out startups to invest in and [this seems like a home run](https://www.angiosafe.com/). Angioplasty usage is increasing heavily and their clinical results were unbelievably good. Not to mention Shockwave Medical was purchased by JNJ for $13B with an inferior product.

BagpipesDontFly

I was in the same boat—mostly index funds like FXAIX. Eventually I started adding a few blue chips like MSFT and JNJ for extra growth and stability. But it’s all about what you’re comfortable with.

Different_Level_7914

It's been that way for as long as I remember. Thought by your comment something might have changed that I'd missed but doesn't appear so. But yes, MSFT and JNJ are the only 2 US companies with prestine AAA credit ratings, now higher rated and less likely to default than the US government who have the ability to print money 😂

Different_Level_7914

Unless it's changed recently JNJ are also AAA credit rated? It's only them and Microsoft

Thanks Mike! Hopefully I do well enough and can buy you lunch on the other side. **"I actually start by selling a 7DTE Call"** Can you clarify when you are switching from 30DTE to 7DTE or do you just run 7DTE constantly now? I am slowly absorbing and running calculations on all of your tips/notes and will read the book as well. Really appreciate it. Yes you've got the SGOV thing correct. My only case against the JNJ long call is I have a bit of crash-a-noia right now. And somehow I like how GLD feels a lot more than stocks with the "uncertainty", debt stuff, dollar worries etc. So just don't want to get caught in that worst case scenario cutting losses on the JNJ. However, I guess the same thing could run true for GLD. So, for that scenario, just having the "mental stop" as you called it already in place... Colin

colinkites2000

I think it was the reference to the ATH aspect. 6% off JNJ from here seemed like a price I'd be happy to ride out a downturn. But 6% off the ETF's seems expensive. That was my logic but I see your reference to ATH above and that makes sense.

MerryRunaround

First, imo reference to ATH is a distraction and generally irrelevant to long term investing or trading options. JNJ is not a bad choice if you actually want shares of JNJ as a part of a long term hold in your port. Probably a pretty good choice to survive through a recession. It's generally a pretty sedate ticker and option premiums are modest at best. It is not a growth stock so you would need to be happy with 3% dividend yield plus maybe(??) another 3-4% you could add by selling calls or wheeling. Probably a decent choice as part of a low risk / low reward strategy. But if your objective is income from selling options I would ask you: What makes JNJ more attractive than an index ETF?

colinkites2000

Hi - 90% APY, that must have turned a few heads! Is there an ETF doing this? If not we should start one! 1 month ago I was thinking, I'm a little slow sitting in SGOV, maybe I should write some cash secured puts and double my SGOV yield of 5.x%. Now I see this possibility and think, okay, I'm VERY slow making 11.4% APY with SGOV and JNJ puts. What could possibly go wrong. Is this too advanced for a rookie options person with more money than knowledge - or should I just set it up and execute? Recommended % of total portfolio to do this diagonal GLD strategy with?

colinkites2000

I was thinking JNJ, any comment? Seems like Puts at 145 pay nicely which is about 20% off it's ATH and would not be horrible to hold onto if some crash event occurred and assignment came along and eventually further dropping of stock price. Am I thinking about this wrongly? ETF's can yield similar but much closer to their ATHs. Please shoot my logic down. Best, C

Cramer telling teens to get off fat shot drug and on JNJ ketamine drug, you can't make it up

Hopeful-Yam-1718

Learn how to hedge or at least keep trailing stop lost % orders on almost everything you have. I say 'almost everything' because you will generally make money if you hold long. For instance, I don't even pay attention to my blue chip stocks like MSFT, IBM, HD, JNJ, ABV, etc. However, I do wrap those TSL% orders around things like AMD, ARM, PLTR, CRWV. That's how come I didn't take a huge beating on liberation day(s). Depending on the stock and the price per share I'll put anywhere from 7.5%, 10%, 12%, or 15% on everything else. If my % gain is higher than my TSL% order if the sell gets triggered I still make $. If I've got something that's only up 3% and -again depending on stock - I'll put a 7.5% TSL% order in and if it gets triggered then my losses are minor. If I've got something that's up 25% I'll put a 10-12% TSL% order on it. If the cost per share is higher, like 120 then I'm comfortable with a 10% TSL because it has to drop $12. On the other hand if I have a $15 stock, I'll put a much higher TSL$ of 20-25% because it's easier to lose a higher percentage like a -$2 move on a $15 stock. With big drops I don't lose as much if any and can buy in at a lower price point, and yes I've had those few stocks that trigger my sell and the next day it rockets back up and I mother fuck my stupidity, but I don't sit around with 40-70% unrealized losses. I play percentages not dollars. $'s cause anxiety, %'s not as bad. I like to average 2-5% daily portfolio gains. That adds up if you can do it several days a week. Makes your yearly ROI beat any CD or BOND. Also, with TSL% orders on my riskier plays, I don't have to watch the market all day. I only have to watch from 8:00 am - 10:00 am, and then just catch the last hour - sometimes will buy or short AH and rarely before the bell because I've been burnt too many times jumping on the pre-marrket pops only to see it disappear within the first few minutes after the opening bell.-

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.

I'm selling 200 shares of my KVUE stock I received in the JNJ split. What is my cost basis for the KVUE stock?

value1024

Selling vol is in my experience not an edge itself. "Maybe betting on changing future volatility" Yes. An example of "my edge" is a really cheap calendar spread I traded on JNJ, and you can find it in my profile if you search. I bought it for 5 cents and sold it for 25 cents, even though the stock went in the wrong direction, i.e. away from the calendar strike. Now imagine doing something similar not just with calendars but with the rest of the strategies mentioned above. "and making bigger bets as the current numbers move more towards the tail end?" Yes again, but not just the vol numbers, but also features in the underlying.

SuperGallic

In fact it is proven to give better returns than owning the stock outright, for a diversified portfolio. As long as you get I contract call for 100 shares. However you don’t benefit much on the upside because it is 2% OTM but you get better protection on the downside than with a 5% OTM. But don’t forget you are exposed to JNJ idiosyncratic risk and you will not be spared by a big drop in the market. Also be aware that you might be exposed to the risk of early exercise of the call because of dividends or other corporate actions. Hence the absolute necessity of owning the stock 100 shares for 1 call

SamRHughes

Missing in that calculation is something like, what the value of the option should be if that performance repeats. Also, when JNJ goes down, you'll need to stop selling calls if you want to just hold it.

agequodagi5

Just go to r/thetagang and do the wheel. I’d choose a more volatile stock to get more premium but do what your risk tolerance can handle. I don’t know how much JNJ you’ve got but I’m guessing you sold what, the 157.5 strike at most? The 5/30 157.5C is $10 per contract. Even the 155C is just $33. You’re kinda just picking up pennies. It’s very safe but you’re going to get a much lower return. Are you willing to sell your shares at that price, regardless of how high JNJ is or are you going to cry if it hits 200 and you’re sitting there getting $15,533 instead? Only you can answer that.

JNJ still has a lot of products that people buy. And what company is making products that we know for sure aren’t giving people cancer? Honestly, not many. There is sooo much research that needs to be done. Don’t get me wrong, what JNJ did was fucked, but many of their products - people don’t even realize they are made by JNJ.  Reality is that UNH is losing customers. I know I’ve encouraged my company to find alternates for our healthcare next year, and I’m sure maaaany other companies across the country are doing the same. It just takes enough people to complain about their health insurance enough for a company to find alternates.  If numbers are down already, and health care is generally an annual type of business model, then Q1 next year has a very high chance of being a total and complete blood bath.

Been reading histories of worlds richest men … the gist is make sure any investment is designed to give you passive income.

Well the rally is pretty much all tech and not everyone likes being in tech because at the slightest hint of trouble it's sold off and craters. I'm looking at every staple company just tick down day on end. Pepsi looks like a total bargain and it keeps going further down, same with JNJ, palmolove, KO etc. Everything is going down while tech shoots up. This rally seems forced based on headlines. The 600 billion Saudi investment didn't even add up to 380billion on the white houses official page. You can't discern fact and fiction, I think powell will set the path from now.

Puzzleheaded_Toe2100

probably because both companies are a bit sketchy. JNJ took an indirect part in profiteering off the Wuhan virus and NEE is a company that can’t really survive without government subsidies and for the next 4 years their ability to get such subsidies is questionable. They also rely on China to make their products and a 250% tariff doesn’t sound appealing.

OKay I use TradingView for my graphics and technical analysis. I use resistances, supports, SMA, MACD RSI and other tools/indicator to try to predict the market or specific actions (not the 7 magnificent, those are not good for technical analysis in my opinion but JNJ is a good example of a predictable stock). A good trader, for me, is the one that has 51% success rate and with a higher % than the SPX (for example 2024 was 23% grow so if your trades are higher than that, you are alpha). I think you could change your approach and learn new stuff. For what I read, you based your trading on visual analysis which is good but it can be complemented with technical stuff ;)

What happened to JNJ :(

The stock market is backed by real companies (many of which you use daily and are paying directly or indirectly) - the market is not going to go down each and every day until it hits zero. The likes of KO XOM PG JNJ are paying tens of billions of dollars a last year and will continue to do so this year and the next and the next. Do you people have parents or grandparents? Do they not have spouses, and siblings and such? Many of them are living off annuities and pensions and 401k which have heavy investments in the stock market. Are you hoping that all their retirement funds will suffer and degrade their quality of life? Did you start living off the land and stopping did you part to stop all corporate revenue and profit?

Uniliver is a very defensive stock - in times of uncertainty money flows from riskier assets to more defensive stocks; especially those that pay higher dividends. Let's say captial appreication is not there, at least I'm still collecting dividend income. Take a look at YTD charts for KO JNJ T NSRGY. These are the last areas that people cut back on. You're going to make actual progress by downgrading or canceling your $300-3,000 vacation and not eating out; not by changing your soap or ketchup.

That's what I'm doing, my portfolio has two pies. One growth, on defensive. Both 80% broad market etfs. Difference is the defensive 20% stocks are BRKB, MSFT, COST, WMT, JNJ Growth one is MSTR, NVDA, PLTR, SOFI, HOOD, META Just under 2/3 of my money is in growth, but I'm currently monthly dcaing into the defensive.  Got crypto too which isn't even doing half as bad atm. Haven't bought any more since Nov though and locked some profits in Jan.

You need to have working knowledge of option pricing, which may or may not include being able to internalize greeks. No one will tell you what the "good options" are on a regular basis for free. I post about "good options" here once in a while, and I get angry responses from people who just don't get options pricing. A good example is a JNJ calendar trade I traded where I made 5X even though JNJ went in the other direction of my max profit at the time. Right now this trade is a 10X winner. I pick this trade out of thousands, but everyone here was stuck on "but you will be paying a lot in commissions" and "you need X% move to make money" and so on, while not understanding anything about the nature of the trade. So the bottom line is to either study, or learn from experienced traders. They don't teach this in college.
