imagine not shorting KO with all your money every time it touches 85. It was a decent short even at 80 probably lol, the rest of the sector is underwater but KO was up 23% ytd for no reason.
I need KO to 85 tmrw so I can reload my short and 80 by Friday yes
I need KO to 80 by Friday, probably toast but we will see
$KO if you want to risk off
Hell yeah Coria KO in a min
Maybe KO. I’d rather use XLP as a hedge/diversifier, though.
KO is one of the best dividend stocks out there. market overreacted to cyber attack. earnings will boost it back up, especially if AI keeps drilling and MMs are putting their resources in safer sectors
KO down 4% today, financials earning you absolute dogshit - yeah, massive rotation happening reeeeee
I have had KO for 16 years. With the yearly dividend increases, it has paid for itself. All house $$$ at this point for me. I trade a lot of stocks and options, but I don't trade KO.
Buy KO while underperforming will work out if you are in for the long haul.
KO had a ransomware attack? This is why it is down today?
Holding $KO over the weekend so i can sleep like a baby
$KO Intense fight for $81 level right now
KO max pain is $81.00 today 🤷♂️
well yesterday it got bad news in AH it was down 1%, but it started green and everything else was up 2-3%. Then everything got nuked and they're down 2% red, KO more than the others obviously Idk if there is continuation, but I sold my puts here, probably ends lower then, but I am ok with my profits
Even boomer stocks like KO & Colgate are getting drilled.. there is no flight to safety to dividend stocks even.
KO is down 4.5% today. LOL my puts printed, but my PEP longs are underwater, wtf happened to this sector today, it got nuked
Alright just full porter into $KO, coke baby
I watched the big short once a day all week. So now I can confidently say: "it's rigged, I bought into a rigged game, I am gonna lose everything" jk my KO puts printed but I am bleeding on everything else in that sector lol
Winning on KO right now 🤷♂️
I will buy $KO at $81 today or i will stay in cash over the weekend
look at value stocks daily chart rug pull KO WMT
KO going from 85.5 to 83 as soon as the market opens nothing can hold gains in this scam market
When KO goes up 3% in a day you know smart money is moving to safety in preparation.
WMT and KO going to save my port tomorrow
I think you're misunderstanding. Sure, you're getting a bit of an initial stash of money from whoever can't or isn't willing to sell out of the market. Didn't say otherwise. And if you're capturing the profits of that and getting out, there are opportunities to profit. But that's only going to go so far. PG and KO aren't going to keep the S&P pushing 8k. That's the mistake a lot of people are going to get hurt for making. This is the same thing that happened earlier in the year.
lol KO down after hours 🤣
well healthcare got a pretty big bounce last week, consumer staple isn't doing that bad outside of like PEP (see KO at $85, like 25% ytd lol) if you open a SPY map, the damage done by semis is actually way smaller than one could think nasdaq got cooked tho yes
BMY CMCSA WMT KO PEP buy calls on div stocks they are cheap as fuck
KO and APPL saving my shit portfolio
my gainers today says value rotation is just getting started KO CMCSA DIS SCHD REITs
you cant trust any rally holding long 85c on KO and i just know they will get wrecked when it sells before it hits my strike AGAIN same thing with WMT every day it goes to 115 and dumps to 113 destroying my 115c just bad time all around for options unless you do spreads
every single day WMT goes to 115 and sells off its crazy how most value stocks like KO can barely climb because they are selling literally everything
I think these explanations are just made up after the fact, but there was a little rotation into defense this morning. I know when I see PFE and KO spring up in my port the tech stocks are going to be down.
I know today is going to be rough when I see the PFE and KO mooning in my port
KO probably better, Pepsi been going backwards for months
my friend said Warren doesn't drink KO anymore, he only drinks pepsi at home, big if true
But you forgot, that berkshire owns KO and they never sell shit.
my puts on KO don't count tho, aint no way that shit is fair value at $85 lmao
One thing that helped me psychologically when I first started out was adjusting my cost basis with the help of unexpected savings. Lets say I'm building a position in amazon and I'm buying 2 shares a month over the course of two years trying to reach 48-50 shares. Well during that first two months I may go to buy groceries and I get CC rewards that convert to cash. My average on the 4 shares i've accumulated might be 240 on 4 shares after a two months period but if I received $20 in cc rewards for my groceries I would put that in a spreadsheet beside my amazon shares and deduct it from my cost. So now I have 4 shares at 240 in reality but with the $20 we saved, beside the 240 I have adjusted cost of 235 on 4 shares. Lets say I was going to buy a tv in month 4 and saw that it was 700 but when I went to buy it, I used a promo code that got me 10% off. Well now I'm going to add that $70 I saved to my amazon investment. So now in month 4 I have 8 shares and lets say the price was at 245 when I bought the last 4. Well now I have (4x240)+(4x245) so 8 shares at an average of 242.5 BUT my adjusted cost would be 242.5 on 8 shares and with the savings I used the actual money out of my pocket per share was 233.75 on the 8 shares. Now lets say the stock goes up to 250 but I didn't get an opportunity to save any unexpected money in months 5-6. This is when people start saying i'll wait til it comes back to 240 but if mentally you know your cost to be at 233,75 before adding adding 4 shares at 250, my average still comes out to be 239.16 adjusted for unexpected savings added. This distance between the current price and my price makes it easier to DCA FOR ME. As time went on, I would use those unexpected savings to reduce from the position I was building at the time and then begin selling puts or covered calls and use the profits from that to bring down my cost basis as well. This also was helpful in just becoming a savvier spender, I would view purchases as moments to get some savings for my portfolio. Costco cc for 4% on gas, RH CC with 3% cash back on everything, pay for an oil change at the local spot for 90 or do it when i'm in a lower cost of living neighborhood for 60. That $30 in my head would suddenly mean I'm getting amazon at $210 if its 240 today or KO at $50 when its 80 today. Lets use KO for an example, they trade at 25x earnings, but if I am adding it when I save $30 every oil change my shares adjusted is 53 dollars which is closer to a reasonable valuation for a strong safe company thats overvalued at the moment. If the divi there is 2.75% now, on my adjusted its closer to 4% at 50. You can also use it to make a very overvalued investment more digestible for yourself. Either way, tracking your money, where youre saving, using that savings for investing, tracking your costs on stocks based on true price purchase and finally tracking your costs based on your investment when accounting from the benefits of unexpected savings.
Well the evaluations mean nothing. KO is 300b… NFlX is 300B… just saying.
If I were 19 again, this is what I would do. I would sink 50% of my monthly budget into voo, 35% percent would go into 3-5 individual stocks, think of things you use daily. Computer chips, metals are in everything, favorite car brand?! I like you KO pick. I like to try to keep investing fun. The remaining 15 percent would sit cash/money market until better buying opportunity’s arise. I’m sure I’m going to get hate for this but that’s my take and it’s done well for me.
KO is a great stock to own,i own it and it pays a solid dividend. Dont sell it it'sa safe play Id buy some more individual growth stocks. Example. Apple NVDA KO CRWD LLY All these i own and they are my big plays.
Lowk not trying to spend all my money in stocks bc KO stock does good and was $70 smth when I bought it and the index funds like s and p are $500+😭
No one is almost never talking about KO, one of the most boring and safest stock you can own
Ayyy so I’m understanding sell KO and get index fund
I made some small money from the KO stock I bought in my taxable brokerage account on vanguard. I’m hearing I should sell it and buy an etf?
Fair which assists I’m guessing KO stock isn’t the best
KO and chill I think is the way for now
You wrote a reply talking about your dividend portfolio being up 120% in 4.5 years and referenced PG, KO and AWR and then it turns out you’re in leveraged covered call ETFs? I think you might be the one missing the forest for the trees.
Wow, KO is a 350B company. That’s kind of crazy. Will it get to $1T? Sure, why not?
Riley , Kavanagh , Stevenson KO. Free money ?
But compared to a non-dividend or low-dividend, a moderate dividend stock like KO is going to underperform a growth stock. The key point is that it's not free money, you have to look at total returns.
I'm going to provide extra context, which I think this conversation needs. I opened my brokerage account in 2015 with the goal to get better gains than my checking account which had accumulated too much cash. Lesson/question/change #1: Why didn't I figure out HYSA??? At the time, my father was my coach. He was fully retired, 75 years old, and living on dividends, social security, and pension. His guidance, which made sense to me, was towards dividend paying reliable stocks of companies that we're going to fail. For example MMM or ATT. He told tales of stocks he "couldn't afford to sell due to gains/tax" and the neat companies he had invested in (BGS) that had done so well. It seemed he clearly had it figured out. In time, Dad has passed, I have taken control of his old accounts to provide for my mother. There is clear evidence of emotional investing, and choices he made clearly haven't all panned out. For example, the BGS shares he gifted me are now nearly worthless. Lesson/question/change #2: Dad wasn't a genius and didn't always get it right. Lesson#3: Emotional decision making is frequently not the best. However, my mother remains well provided for, even as her costs skyrocket in assisted living. Dad was a proponent of picking individual stocks. Through time I have largely moved away from this. I continue to hold individual stocks, which has generally been OK, but hasn't "beat the market". However, since my objective was to do better than my checking account, I'm doing very well. Lesson/change #4: Instead of focusing on picking individual stocks, using broad index funds is easier and quite successful. Lesson #5: Understand and remember your objectives. At this point, VOO, VTI, and DIA account for about 30% of my brokerage portfolio. A few big winner individual stocks and a few more funds (including SGOV) round out my top 10 holdings. Going forward, I will almost certainly continue to focus on adding to my VOO, VTI, and SGOV positions. I have benefited from and enjoyed my dividends. However, some of my worst moves have been "dividend chasing". At one point, rather than benefitting from the modest monthly dividend from VOO or the declining % yield from CAT I chased dividends in a bond fund RA. I'm about 25% down on that, and while it continues to pay well above 5%, fees will eat into that. I'd have been ahead to purchase VOO, CAT, or KO. Buffet has benefitted from dividend stocks, but doesn't pay a dividend... Lesson/change #6: Don't chase the high dividends, benefit from strong stocks that pay a modest yield. Time in the market....
But one big difference between now and back then there is a much higher percentage of people buying stock mostly via a 401K so auto buying every week (about 66%). If we did have some 80% crash and something like KO dropped from 83.50 to 16.70 as long as I had a job I would be loading up on that.
KO also…was hoping it’d inverse
I hate semiconductor and memory buls so fucking much its unreal. I'd rather see that capital flkw into shitcoin crypto, space, or even KO and pepsi.
Great progression breakdown. The first few options I traded were on KO and Visa. They are slow and low volume enough that I felt comfortable reacting to intraday technical indicators. I practiced them until I really understood the Greeks, IV, RSI, EMAs etc etc. Now a days I do more fundamental investing and just use LEAPS or selling options to inject some beta weighted delta into my target yield account.
I have a confession - I thought KOSPI was actually KO-SPY i.e. Korean SPY LMAO.
4m of KO on the last 2 mins… rotation tomorrow
Yeah, it's called losing my ass on other investments lmao For the record, the 5 stocks I bought were MSFT, WMT, AMZN, EBAY and KO. My dad told me to invest in what I personally used or enjoyed. Thanks for the advice, dad!

You know, $200k weekly plays sound like they're insanely risky, but they could also be incredibly boring like some dumb cash-secured put on KO with almost no assignment risk
You should have mentioned up front that this was an earnings play. KO quarterly earnings is July 28. Was the 82.50 call ATM at the time you opened? KO has been on a runnup, +$3 over the last 5 days, so it seems possible. That up trend is bad news for your iron fly. Do you have a thesis for why KO will come down by expiration? Expecting an earnings disappointment or just IV crush? The 75p and 90c were very low delta at the time, judging by what I'm seeing in the chain for today's spot price of 85.07. That, and the upcoming earnings, would explain why the opening credit was so high.
Kospi is KO SPY in us stock market the following day
go look at 1929, 1987 and 2008. 2026 is next, sell everything, KO will be the new 10T company

Lmao poor Neymar came on for this for the second time in the tournament? Only to be KO’d
Bers literally going to get KO'd by baby ports investing
> Please feel free to correct me, but the dividends aren't giving you additional money. Yes and no. Dividends are paid based on a fixed amount per share, not a percentage. So if KO is paying $3/share and you own 10,000 shares, you will be receiving $30,000 in dividends if the share price is $100 or if it drops to $60. Which is why, up to a point, they are a hedge.
KO isn’t down 25% in the last month 😂
My bear market indicator KO is above 83, indicating SPY is gonna drill
10x KO Space X bcs I really thought it could double xd
KO might be the most safe buy when it’s below the moving average. I can see why Buffett fucks with it.
When MSFT and KO in my port go green, everything else goes RED, literally.
Lol how did I not went KO on my MU long with 1135$ KO, I saw it going down to 1132$ on Robinhood but now Robin shows lowest was 1138$
KO why you bitching around. Go to $90 please.
i got a soda and spilled in on me too. This is the TA I use in trading. COKE, KO and PEP will most likely be red
