KO

VictoriaAutNihil

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.

Happy-Champion1661

yeah nice joke lmao, so KO is the new NVDA? or will it go bankrupt as well?

deadfishlog

Sector rotation happened Friday to blue chips. KO, HSY, CCEP etc. retail loses again

shredbmc

US: *bombs a country they are in active negotiations with* Iran: "Fine, you can't use our waters for shipping" US: *Bombs the ships guarding their waters* Some dude with little man vibes on reddit: "Don't fuck with the US we'll KO anyone" Also, same dude: "ReDdIt HiVe MiNd!"

mikemccrea

Honestly don’t fuck with the US… Our military will KO anyone, anytime, anywhere

deadfishlog

Major money was already going into KO, CL, CCEP etc Friday before the close. So at a minimum, retail gets whipsawed by sector rotation.

Personally if you don't have a lot of cash, penny stocks are a place to loose all of those $$$. If I was tight on money I'd look seriously at income producing ETF's to try to build up that savings. Effectively you let professional options traders build up your resources. Once you are getting several hundred $$$$ a month you can apply the earnings to a variety of stocks including Penny's. More important you have a cash flow that can be applied every month or week, depending on the ETF. Then you need to consider this you can benefit from the mainstream stock market in two ways! The first are companies paying high dividends. The second is high growth stocks that you can resell at a profit. Of course there are modern day technologies such as options trading which have their justification in a balanced portfolio. In the world of Penny's you only really have growth as a way to make good money. However there are other benefits from investing in penny's and that is the potential to drive new technology. For example I have invested in bio-pharma and such in the hopes that one of these companies will come up with new treatments. Here is the frustrating part of penny's and bio-pharma in particular, the successful companies are few and the research cycles are very long. This means there is limited interest in the world of penny's. As far as the rest of the market goes, I'm not going to suggest anything because of the flux in the market. There is rotation out of tech for example but from what I can see there are years of sales lined up in the world of tech. Due to the flux, I literally started investing in $KO (Coca-Cola) at about 10 shares a week, since the start of the year. That Coke money comes from an income producing ETF that I invested in a couple of years ago. I just don't know where the market is going at the moment and I like Coca-cola, plus a reasonable dividend. I just take advantage of an income stream (that is still holding up) that does not impact living expenses. the point is that income stream was invested in a couple of years ago and built up over time. If I get happy with the market I can redirect that income to penny's again.

A defensive stock is stock that people buy when they think bad economic times are coming or a stock market downturn is evident. They are stocks that don't drop in market downturn, or drop less than most others. They pay dividends and typically better than average dividends, and can be expected to see more business in an economic downturn. So stocks like the ones I mention above - WMT (Wal Mart), KO (Coke) MCD (McDonalds) are considered defensive plays. Coke is not expensive and people generally won't stop drinking it if we go into a recession. More people will likely shop at WMT in a recssion as they try to save money. Same with MCD - their business goes up as people shift their restaurant purchases from other, more expensive restaurants, to cheaper fast food options.

VictoriaAutNihil

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.

ElmoLovesGrover

A few examples to show what is going with big tech these days. These examples can apply to dozens of other tech stocks: MSFT has excellent earnings in late January and sells off big anyway. Capex and software gettign eaten by AI are blamed for the sell off AMZN has excellent earnings a few weeks alter and sells off big too. Can't blame software so blame only CAPEX. NVDA this week has not just excellent, but excellently amazing stupendous phenomenal earnings... and sells off almost 10% over two days. They can't blame AI software fears, can't blame CAPEX (in fact NVDA is making massive bucks off others CAPEX), so they blame the generic catch-all "*valuation*". **Valuation!!** Are you kidding me? Here is NVDA forward PE according to Stock Analysis: 21.52 (note that MSFT and AMZNs forward PEs are 22.4 and 27.2). WMT, KO, and MCD have forward PEs of 43.7, 25.2, 25.8 (many other large cap "defensive" plays have similar PEs). That's right baby - NVDA's forward PE is *half* WMTs.... and people are saying NVDA is selling off because it is *overvalued*!! WMT, KO and MCD are all great companies, but they are not growth companies. It makes sense for them to have forward PEs in the high teens or low 20s. NVDA, AMZN and MSFT continue to grow at rates much, much faster than these three, yet their PEs are the same as the defensive plays no That's where sit right now. People are paying a premium for defensive plays and fleeing big tech growth plays giving many defensive/value plays PEs in the mid 20's (when they are typically in the high teens, low 20s) and giving big tech the same PEs as defensive/value plays.

No-Improvement3164

AI mentioned in an earnings call pumped stocks 20-30% for 2 years and now the mention of Ai has them running for the hills as KO MCD WM JNJ CL PG all continue in a 10 -20 year up trend.

NotmeitsuTN

It is all in IRA - so no spending- I'm fairly settled, house, car etc , didn't do this cause I was struggling. Strat has been " what stock would I buy" then go long with an option. Everything was about a yearish out, but when they went up and the option went up more I profited. So except for a IBIT gamble that was a small one, I have been rolling, MRVL, BA, KO, CLX, EWY......now waiting on ADBE to show it won't be crushed by AI. Then I'll get after it.

3ebfan

KO and META don't have market caps that are already 20% of US GDP

VOO_bull_forever

# KO has a higher forward P/E than NVDA and META. # Healthy market.

ElmoLovesGrover

Yeah, I've learned to be very cautious when doing that on pennies and rarely do it anymore. Works well with large established companies. If WMT, KO, or DD dips, they will come back if you wait long enough. A penny dips and odds are good it will keep on dipping, and reverse splitting, and diluteing, etc.

EuphoricWizard

Eventually they have to stop buying KO LMAO.  Gonna get to +40% in 3 months YTD if tech crashes 

paranoidspectator

I believe he means companies like Coca Cola (KO), GE aerospace, BALL, and banking industry like BAC

KO'd by Burry

MichaelJamesBurry

Just invest in KO guaranteed returns

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?

Drugsandstufflol

Lol a lot of us were it’s called having a basic understanding. I loaded up KO in case this scenario played out

Sirellia

BB width yeah — bandwidth dropping below its historical range for that stock. The squeeze detection is the easy part though, the grading is where it separates. Same bandwidth level on NVDA means something completely different than on KO

Jagged_Tide

Make sure to buy some $KO to enjoy with your popcorn at the SOTU tonight regards

There is more to a bubble than P/E. It’s the underlying fundamentals - if it was just P/E the market would avoid anything over a certain P/E. The reason it is “tech” - despite being the darling, is that a lot of money is flowing into companies that produce no revenue or limited revenue. In the distant past this was the biotech space only (pre-90s). People betting on a new cure and future revenue pipeline. Modern day there is a lot of companies doing R&D that may lead to a future AI tool or program. Claude is the first ripple in this because it claims to be able to do all that and more, like correct code. Making a lot of these companies obsolete before they have a chance to prove their concept. If this disrupter has teeth those companies would see mass exodus of funds as investors see a better vehicle. This will implicate the earnings and valuations of the larger AI (stable companies) as they will start reporting less than stellar earnings because of the drop. This in turn will force investors to sell before a falling knife event. Then people invested in those companies up top will say “why would I want to invest in a 25 P/E KO when NVDA just dropped from 45 P/E to 30 P/E.” This is where stupid money will flow into NVDA - but once they realize it was a liquidity trap that’s when the bubble will burst. And it will be too late for them to get out before a crash. What people are worried about with Claude and can impact the markets. So that’s my take on why the bubble is still tech despite your hyper focused example noted above. The stalwart tech companies have a complex connection to the rest of the AI ecosystem and is much for fragile than their quarterly performance is telling us.

VOO_bull_forever

# $KO forward P/E: 25 # $PG forward P/E: 23 # $MSFT forward P/E: 22 # $META forward P/E: 21.6 # --> there is a bubble, but not in tech

Homeless-Coward-2143

If I had spare cash this would be such an opportunity. The value of these companies is in their size, history, advertising. Even if Claude can make better software, who's going to pay the billions required to dethrone the already existing companies. It's like if you were to "solve" coca cola's ingredients, you don't just suddenly replace coca cola on everyone's shopping list. You then need 100 years of Christmas advertising, etc., and then you can start to challenge KO. It's so dumb. Not to mention that this shit can't code. It cannot add numbers together FFS.

kool_mandate

lol into PG , KO, , LLY, MCD, VZ, GIS This is textbook It’s basically automated , triggered panic selling in best of class growth companies into value. But once pessimism is baked in, the panic buying back in will follow, and no one will give you a heads up “it’s time to buy CRWD again “ first Because the same people having to answer to angry clients about capital preservation are the same people that lose angry clients if they underperform This is where retail can have an edge

Jericho3434

What are you talking about? Value investors are killing it. Boring KO is doing better than 99% of these ‘tards portfolios.

dataCollector42069

Bought MSTR 129 puts at $130 today sold at 123.75 :). Used gains to buy more KO and picked up uber eats :)

Jagged_Tide

Do we think XOM and KO are hedges against the market? In my experience, they seem to behave that way

No-Improvement3164

You could have bought KO and you bought Microsoft. 😂😂😂

spinwizard69

It is a strange pull back. I'm going to worry about this tomorrow when I should have some cash in the account. Lately I've been buying $KO a few shares every week to get some more robustness in my portfolio. The goal is a bit of quarterly dividend income, from hopefully a stable company. My "growth" investments have gone the wrong way.

spinwizard69

It is not all down and out of all of my portfolios, I actually have two stocks up. One being Coke, $KO and the other $CYDY. CYDY is one of my pharma speculation / gambling stocks that normally slides with the market. Very Weird day.

EuphoricWizard

This is what boomers felt like in this tech market.  Watching mag7 dump everyday while trash like WMT & KO go green everyday for 2 months with regarded PEs on no growth companies 

Lopsided_Process5141

If you had a few hundred shares of KO and JNJ you'd be weathering the storm just fine.

Fearless_Strike5651

Yeah you’re right SCREW tech I want Walmart at 40 PE. Shit while I’m at it I think I’ll buy Costco and KO at ATH and sell MsFT at $390. 😂

Remember, Warren Buffett is the King of "Let it sit and hold on for 40 years." He's a huge billionaire. You should sell half the Tesla stock, a little at a time, and diversify. The stock has had wild swings, and you should NOT be left seeing it gone, like my mom did with Sun Microsystems a 10k investment went to 300k, and back down to 10k again. Sadly, we're eventually, within 4 years most likely, going to experience a Recession. The DOW 30 is a great place to buy, stocks like Coke (KO), Chase Bank (JPM), Caterpillar (near all time high, wait for it to go down 200 a share), PG, and the NASDAQ for Nvidia, and the rest of the Mag 7. Build some cash though, open a brokerage account at Charles Schwab or Fidelity so you can trade AND MOST IMPORTANTLY watch their daily movements. And then, forget you have it. Buy dividend yielding stocks when you see the market drop with your cash. If you can not touch it, or even add to it, you'll likely be retired by the time you're 50.

Prize-Feature2485

It is more expensive than NVDA. This will not hold up once the market falls, is anything but a defensive stock. I could take KO , PEP, CVX even MO is a better pick.

"-At first i've bought 50% S&P500 at all time high using a lump sum, then immediately that started crashing last year with trump's tariffs. Sold at a loss and bought again at a higher price later. " Don't buy high sell low then buy high later. You want to use periods like last April as opportunities and be buying what people are puking, not be one of the people puking up your portfolio. Have a reasoning behind every investment you make and have that reasoning be at least medium-term. I've said before that last April at the bottom if you were thinking "what is this going to do in the next 24-48 hours?" you weren't going to be a buyer. If you were thinking, "in 6-12 months, I'll probably be happy with these buys" you were buying. "Stay away from the S&P500/World ETF as i believe they're going to crash more thanks to trump's politics and his new Fed chair." If you think the US market is going to crater then other areas aren't going to somehow be immune from that. I think international can outperform and lean more international but am definitely still long the US. "-10% bought recently into consumer's sector (half Amazon at a discount right now and half Walmart even if it has high PE, it's reliable long term)" Walmart is about as expensive as it's been in decades. It is benefitting from this economic environment and continues to take share from TGT, but that's priced in at this point. If something happened to change that, could be a considerable decline in something people consider a conservative investment. AMZN has underperformed MCD and KO over the last 5 years and Jassy has not been the Bezos replacement people hoped for. Probably overdone to the downside at this point but too many people keep "collect 'em all"-ing Mag 7 out of habit. "10% MSCI Canada ETF" There's specific names in Canada that I think are compelling but would not invest in Canada broadly. "+Microsoft+Google+Netflix " MSFT meh, Google good. Mag 7 has become the Mag 2 or 3 tops. "-10% emerging markets ETF -10% South Korea ETF -10% Europe Stoxx 600 top companies ETF" Fine. " Avoiding heavy exposure in China/India/Japan markets because of the high risk." Japan is having a great year. "Keep portfolio diversified 50-50 between ETF's and stock picks which previously demonstrated in graphs higher resistance against cyclicality and stock market crashes." Walmart isn't going to demostrate that if anything that has caused its recent run slows even slightly. AMZN cratered in 2022. NFLX lost 70% off the highs of 2021. You're not buying things that are going to avoid a downturn with the above. "A diversified portfolio you're not swapping and rotating cash frequently, would be profitable long term." This is good, but I don't know that there's a clear strategy with what you picked aside from gold, and no US aside from household names, some of which haven't done all that great in the last 5 years. "Also i'm avoiding biotech/pharma" I don't know that I'd avoid a sector like healthcare just because you lost money on a couple of stocks.

theipd

There are so many stories I could tell on this front but I’ll just say that if you get assigned AAPL GOOG FB NVDA PG KO then yes this type of stock is a sure bet to come back and you can dollar cost average your way to Nirvana. But when the stock is speculative you’re essentially asking the Vatican to keep you in their prayers. For me it’s not worth it. I can make the loss up somewhere else. I think that some CSP evangelists fail to talk about the stock quality when they’re recommending high premium names. Or the story behind the premium. The deltas are usually about .45 or more and everything looks rosy until about the time for expiration when all hell breaks loose and you’re suddenly in a dilemma of paying 3x what you bought it for or just DCA ing it after assignment. The problem is that many of these names won’t come back. They keep tanking. Or in the case of one stock this week they do some crazy shenanigans like a reverse split. Long post to say. BUY QUALITY.

Keizman55

First thing is I only trade companies that I understand what they do and how they make the majority of their money. Next, I am a Fidelity customer so I use their resources and check what the analysts recommendations are. If they don’t align with my view I try to see what I am missing. I also use their screener to filter on the major variables that others have listed but am not strict on those unless some negative really stands out. I also read or listen to their earnings calls and have alerts set for any news on their tickers. I picked up AMAT a few months ago and had a good understanding of their business and have done really well with it, wish I had trusted myself enough to hold through earnings overnight. My other tickers that I have done well with here and there are V, GS, KO, MA, MSFT, COST. I try to avoid holding through earnings because I got burnt with Costco - was 100% right on fundamentals but earnings call comments killed it (“…something, something, something, expect tariff headwinds…”)

KO had a 45 p/e during the tech bubble and Daddy Buffett thought that would last too Said later not selling was one of his big mistakes 

Happy-Champion1661

yes, since defensive consumer and energy went to the moon, healthcare also pretty good past couple months but KO and friends are overbought, they stopped going up since couple of days, so now there is truly nothing left to buy

Blade3colorado

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.

Research ETFs and Index investing , set it and forget it. You are are18 years old, Penny stocks are basically gambling for you!!! that 1845$ could go to zero if fully invested in penny stocks. Look into SCHD ,VTI, VOO, REIT, bonds (BND) and diversify with like international ETF. You can also buy some individual stocks like HOOD, BE, PLTR, RBLX, Apple, Amazon, or Microsoft. Pepsi, KO, Solid business. forget about the bubble , market will adjust and correct eventually..... You could also consider Joby or Archer if you’re interested in emerging technology, but only after doing proper research. They’re still speculative, but way better than whatever you’re doing with penny stocks. For the love of God or the universe, whatever you believe in , sell your penny stocks and invest accordingly. With your high-yield savings account already in place, you can focus this account on growth ETFs and index funds instead.

MichaelJamesBurry

when in doubt invest in KO

Trizzz-y

Looking for short swings on WMT, LMT, and KO.

spinwizard69

You will not like this but if you are in college Penny stocks are stupid. Even if you are filthy wealthy they are stupid, your account should be generating fun money or at least paying for condoms. First off any investment you do needs to be researched by you, don't take suggestions from the peanut gallery do your DD. Nothing on this forum is good advice, even the suggestions I'm going to make. I'd certainly consider a reliable income fund that pays weekly. $1800 isn't going to get you much in the way of shares, but you might be able to work out something that pays you $30 a week in fun money. Yeah that doesn't sound like much but a little cash is better than no cash. The other option is to put in into a market growth fund and don't even look at it for 4 years. Well other than to make more deposits. Done right this fund could be your base fund for when you are out of school working full time. Build wealth in that fund and play the penny's by them selves. This take discipline and frankly it is a good reason to have two brokers. Literally have a "retirement" account, at a brokerage, that is one way, and a trading account someplace else. Here is the thing, most people playing penny's don't make a lot of money and many lose huge amounts of money. The reason is simple they are addicted to it just like some are addicted to Whisky. I never considered Penny's at all until a retired as I never had a surplus of cash that I felt like throwing away. Now I have a little surplus and frankly I put that into various pharma stocks. Making money would be nice but ending cancer and other diseases would be wonderful. Yes I have a portfolio of other stocks, but that is for retirement, gambling is kept under a few percent. Believe me pharma,, especially bio-tech research, is a gamble - so far zero profits. Now don't get me wrong there are lots of stocks beyond pharma, anything related to space will likely be long term buys with a lot of volatility. By the way another option is to buy single stocks noted for dividends. $1800 will not get you many shares but hopefully you can chose one for keeping the dividend every year even in there is an economic down turn. For example Coke-Cola is around $79 with a fifty cent dividend. If you purchased 2 shares a week for 20 years you would have 2080 shares paying you a good dividend every quarter. Not enough for retirement but it is part of a plan. Sure the price of KO might go up and down but you are not buying for price movement in this case. All you care is that the dividend check comes every quarter. You could give yourself a head start with the remaining bucks and buy 20 or so shares. You can also buy dividend producing ETF's but I'm not convinced that such ETF's make sense for dividend investing. The point I'm trying to make here is that penny's are the wrong place to focus your attention at the moment. Work on college, study a bit and find at least two girl friends. Get a job, Mary one of those gals and start to work hard on your financial future. Actually while in college see if there is a course, seminar or something that cover persona finance and wealth management. The more you know the sooner financial freedom comes. In the end avoid the idea of putting everything in one theme. I hear about these all in people, be it Tesla, NVIDIA or whomever. Going all in on anything is stupid and can really put you behind if something goes wrong. Start building a base level of security and then work the wild ends of finance.

"If they can take market share from Canva then are very much undervalued. If they can't and all they can do is doing price hikes on UX designers, then are overvalued. As you see, there is a lot of execution risks with figma. I don't know which scenario is gonna play out." Lol, tell this concept to fucking $KO. They've basically only been able to increase their revenue by price hikes. Yeah they have some more healthy drinks or whatever, but we all know their revenue increases have come from increasing soda prices. And $KO has been just fine. $FIG probably will be too.

WMT, XOM, APPLE, KO.  All the boomer trash goes straight up all day/year everything else down 🤮

no_simpsons

I would do a chat with copilot or a similar AI model and talk about equal risk unit weighting. These stock picks should be sized to normalize their volatilities, not on an equal dollar basis. KO needs more $ allocation and MSFT and GOOG less. KO moves a smaller % each day since it's less volatile. In order to maximize your diversification, they could all contribute to the daily % change equally.

trader_dennis

The trade of the year is going to be HALO stocks. Heavy assets low obsolescence stocks. Companies like delta or KO have that will receive tailwinds to their heavy asset business but LLMs will support optimization of their business. Their multiples will continue to re rate in the positive way. Software still has a way to go before it hits bottom. Total multiple re rating. Think newspapers post 2002 just to a lesser extent. Ciber software should rebound as this will still be important to all companies. is safe and should

Calls on DDOG.. 114 strike.. and if KO does anything like what Pepsi did last week.. calls on KO.. unless you believe the Superbowl commercials and the Coke Cola bears are secretly drinking Pepsi and got caught on the kiss cam at a concert… what a great commercial Pepsi.

The problem is that the valuations don’t reflect that. Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon are all cheaper than KO, WMT, COST, PG, CVX, and tons of other low growth companies.

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.
