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.

chrizz61

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$

neillson01

KO why you bitching around. Go to $90 please.

Lower_Skin_3683

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

Sylla1031

there are certainly more "boring" names than these (KO is my best example), but in the sense of market cap, business model and longevity, these are pretty core / core-satellite in the case of ANET. IV is also a useful indicator in terms of boring.

Did you know AMZN has been a worse stock over the past 5 years than KO? Yes, a fucking soda company has literally made more than a money printing machine that is the world's biggest cloud hosting service AND the world's biggest retailer. I actually feel bad for AMZN bols with how fucking stupid this has gotten.

asvomo

I agree with this. Today was a good reminder that owning several AI stocks doesn't necessarily mean you're diversified. NVDA and MU were both down for me, but my long-term KO position helped offset a lot of that weakness. Even though SPCX bounced today, I don't regret staying cautious after the recent selloff. The market is still trying to price the company, and I'd rather wait for MU earnings tomorrow before making any major decisions. Sometimes doing nothing is a strategy too

Fun_Investment1101

I just ordered a coke out the company vending machine and the fucking claw thing knocked down like 20 bottles and wouldn’t even give me my fucking coke, puts on KO

Crazy_Donkies

Jesus christ. Move the goal post much? Anyone can sell a stock and rotate money. One doesn't need an ETF/MF to do it for them. Moreover, I'm not talking about high-growth, in fact I'm not talking about any specific sector or anything. In general, most well run companies over a decent period of time will recover from pullbacks. GOOG, AMZN, KO, BRK.B, MSFT, and thousands more. **Fact is,** if you miss a recovery by sitting on the sidelines, you'll often cut your long-term profits in half. You're better off to buy good companies and hold over a long period of time and hold until the thesis changes. E.g. SaaS is negatively impacted by AI; or Chinese EVs negatively impacting TSLA sales in EU.

NewlyOld31

These KO Jan. 2027 70c are going to be a solid play for me.

dvdmovie1

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%.)

bilingualbunny

Diversification is genuinely impossible, you get spy, spy down, EVERYTHING down with it. Clearly it doesn't make a difference. KO will be down, F will be down, P&G will be down. All "diversification" means is "oh you might lose less if you invest in this dogshit boomer stock when the tech stocks carrying the market take a dip" CALLS

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

russian_cream

revs are $31M, not $40M. not sure where the $40M came from. more importantly, the acquisition was funded by vendor financing + convertible preferred shares,, not cash. so your '4 years to turn a profit' just doesn't make sense more importantly, what you're calling 'best case scenario' (\~10M EBITDA on $31M revs) isnt best case, it is what the datacenter is currently operating on with legacy crypto clients. the ai conversion projects >$60M EBITDA post conversion (\~130M post expansion). that is the 'best case scenario' or the entire bull thesis. VIVO also has another \~150MW of power secured markets are forward looking and this sector especially. $KEEL runs a \~$100M loss and still 8x'd with far less prominent squeeze mechanics. $APLD, $IREN, Nscale all rerated before profits, on the narrative and signed deals on dilution - they've cancelled their ATM and $180M shelf, have an active PIPE and $121M private placement coming in. their entire model for funding the buildout is a flywheel based on borrowing against the tenancy, refinancing, and reinvesting the equity. immediate dilution risk is low this isn't a warren buffet subreddit and $VIVO is not $KO, no one is arguing otherwise. this is a shortsqueeze subreddit. it is speculative and based on landing a decent tenant. with a 2.4 M float and 160% of that float being short, it is highly asymmetrical

Bought 5 KO 70c 1/27/27 this AM when it hit about $77. Think this will be great for me.

Spiritual_Bat7343

the reconstructed iv surface part is where id poke hardest as a tester. assignment rates are really sensitive to how you handle early exercise around ex div dates, and if the premiums are rebuilt off a smoothed surface you can quietly understate how often you get called early on dividend names. so id sanity check the assignment numbers on something like KO or JPM against what actually happened. the tax suggestion someone gave you is a good one too, the after tax give back on getting called in a taxable account changes which strike rule actually wins. looks cool though

MCD or KO -- I'm a retired elementary teacher. Let him invest in something he knows about like McDonald's or Coca-Cola or something similar. When when my kids were little, they wanted to invest in a local restaurant, so I had them invest in Sysco. They also wanted McDonald's and Kroger. It made it fun for them to follow!

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!

greenpride32

To be fair, the share price of any other stock would have cratered. 350 p/e. 2024/25/26 is more or less flat revenue. Loss of EV credit handout kills their margin and profits. TLSA makes $4b in profit, it's worth $1t. SPCX loses $4, it's worth $2t. KO pays out twice the amount of TSLA profit in cash dividends each year, but it's worth a fraction of it. Meanwhile your other SP500 top 10 weights are making $20-100b+ in profit each year. Which ~~one~~, two don't belong?

Got out from semis last week after barely breaking even on $AVGO (held too much through earnings). Riding healthcare ($UNH - exited today, $CLOV) and consumer/entertainment ($KO, $NFLX, $WMT) with a sprinkle of retardation ($GME, $OPEN) on top. As always, tomorrow I'll feel like a genius or say to myself "this was obvious, why didn't I see it". Welcome to the casino.

SteakEater137

AI trade spooked. NVDA’s forward PE is contingent on AI CapEx, KO’s forward PE looks more “guaranteed” Not that I even agree necessarily but thats the narrative today.

Man I’m right there with you. Down from 100k to probably under 30kwhen my puts fail tomorrow. Trying to hang things up officially after losing 25k today. I flipped the last amount I have left to only KO and Ford. Good luck man.

greenpride32

At the IPO price, SPCX is being valued close to what AVGO is worth and more than META. SPCX lost about $5b last year. Meanwhile AVGO makes over $20b in profit and META over $60b in profit. AVGO earnings growth is very high and expected to remain that way for some time, hence the valuation differences. So in SPCX you are buying a comparatively overvalued stock by any and every measure, and only comparable to TSLA. TSLA by the way makes 4x less profit than KO, but valuation is 4x more. Forget about even trying to compare TSLA to AVGO META and the true mega caps.

Gangnam_style_gaming

Exact same situation today, but with more profit/loss. I got gradually more greedy these past few weeks and I essentially spiraled and lost my own integrity. The reason I wanted to trade is because I study and just have a sidejob, so there’s not any steady income. I figured I had money, I might aswell let that money make more money, but I started being too hands-on with the whole trading thing. Bad trade after bad trade, more and more volatile. I’m going to graduate, get to work (it’ll be easy to get a well-paying job in my situation), and invest monthly into a pie consisting of a few % of smaller stocks and something like the S&P and perhaps something stable like KO. I am leaving this trading shit behind

Exact same pattern as Friday. Boring ass consumer staples are up crazy numbers (yes 1.5-2% is crazy for KO, PEP, JNJ,O)

ChucktheDuckRecruits

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.

blew a small account Friday trying to BTD on MU with a KO certificate i thought was safe (865). Its up 16% since. never trade knockouts regards

Competitive-Drink215

Should I buy KO?

chf_gang

At this point you can’t avoid exposure to AI if you are looking for growth. You either have to just save your money or buy defensive staples like WM or KO. Almost every company is leveraged into it, even if they aren’t actually a tech company. If AI crashes literally everything will be affected.

Effective_End8731

A pile of cash can't be undervalued or underprice so I really don't know what we're talking about at this point. I do at this point feel like you're arguing for the sake of argument and have lost the plot of your own original question as you weren't ever originally talking about a pile of cash and now you are talking about a pile of cash but trying to attribute market attributes on an asset to a literal pile of cash which does not have market attributes - a pile of cash cannot be undervalued. So here is your original question broken down with specific responses: \---------------------------------------------- "I'm a big believer in value investing and Warren Buffett's ideas of buying companies for less than what they're worth. But here's the part that I could never wrap my head around... Let's say a company's "intrinsic value" is $200 per share, but the stock price is $100/share. Ok, so that's a good buy then, you're buying "a dollar for fifty cents", as Buffett puts it." "But, in order to make money, the PRICE needs to go up, because you need to sell it. You only own a tiny fraction of the company, so you don't actually receive the cash flows yourself. So if the market stays irrational and the price never catches up to the intrinsic value, you could still lose money." (This is where price is important, price is the perception of value someone is willing to pay for. Prices can be irrational and they can stay irrational indefinitely. Just look at the prices of the mag7 - they are pricing in for an expected future valuation that is massively variable because it is different in everyone's head what they could be worth in 3 to 7 years.) "Now if you had a controlling share of the company, or wholly owned the company, those cash flows would be yours and the intrinsic value is all you care about. Warren said he doesn't really care about the stock price, he just wants to own good businesses... That's great if you can buy the whole company outright, but let's say his KO shares went down fifty percent and stayed there for decades, not keeping up with its intrinsic value... wouldn't that impact him as much as any other investor??" (yes it would impact him as much as any other investor. If you wholly owned the company it wouldn't be on the stock market, it would be a private company. If you wholly own all shares - you do not care about the intrinsic value because you must sell those shares and as you sell them price discovery will happen and the price will fall. You still care about the perceived value of the shares and if its a publically traded company. If Elon Musk tried to sell large portions of his shares it would literally tank the price of his companies and their current price based market cap, because the price would fall as everyone is not willing to buy at the same price. I feel like something's missing here, what force is there in the market to keep the price and the intrinsic value close to each other? Is there some arbitrage I don't know about? Can't a stock just be mispriced forever? Or are value investors relying on faith that price eventually catches up to intrinsic value? (yes a stock can be mispriced forever. Value investors are relying on faith that price eventually catches up because they believe in certain theories about that market that the price will eventually come to fruition but that is a theory. That's why its the value investor thesis. Warren buffet bought good businesses because he assumed that good business with good operations will grow or continue to generate revenue. He was not a speculative investor. He did not win on every trade he made, sometimes a company will change management or pivot its goals / operations before the price catches up. Value companies are not doing as great now because so much capital is being poured into a yield hungry market - value companies tend to do better when growth slows down or turns down and people start looking to other parts of hte market for returns.)

midwesternvalues73

I guess Buffet was right on that KO being a good pick

kingofwale

KO is a consumer defensive. It’s supposed to go up in times like this. I’m surprised a option trader didnt know that…

Puzzleheaded-Tax6168

Money fleeing for safety. KO is safe.

occurious

High dividend yield correlates very strongly with lower total return for long term positions. If the yield is larger than sustainably profitable companies like KO, then they are likely doing something unsustainable financially. There’s no magic. Dividend stocks have lower average returns than the market. If you focus on value stocks instead you will get a similar exposure but with a factor that actually carries a return premium.

rafaelnmartins

I've been following Coca-Cola stock (KO) for years, and I've noticed an interesting pattern: when the Nasdaq performs strongly, Coca-Cola tends to lag, and when the Nasdaq struggles, Coca-Cola often does better. Recently, Coca-Cola seems to have broken out of its bearish trend and has been showing strong recovery over the past few weeks. To me, this suggests that investors may be rotating back into more defensive stocks, which could mean it's Coca-Cola's turn to outperform while the Nasdaq faces some weakness. Of course, correlation doesn't always imply causation, but the recent price action is making me pay close attention. Is anyone else seeing a similar rotation from growth into defensive names like Coca-Cola?

TheGodPePe

I have friends who use TradeRepublic, it seems to be the best for new users in Germany, especially if you don't want to do KO deviates and just want to buy stocks. Personally, I use Interactive Brokers since I am an American Citizen and they can give the IRS info that other banks/brokers cant

I had some cash sitting on the sideline and bought some Tech & stock chips on the big dip today to finance my ROTH IRA for thsi year, $8,000, at the closing bell around 3:20. Tech and chip sectors got killed today. The usual defensive sectors were up today, consumer staples, Utilites and heathcare. Banks & financials broke even. I have some value stock that did okay today. Morst of my stocks were down versus up. It's good to have some diversity and not be concetrated in a single sector, SOXX. The Invesco large value cap ETF, PWV, held it's own today, slightly up. * WMT +0.97% * KO 3.5% * UNH +0.75% * Visa +1.1% * RTX +1.3% * FDX +0.91%

Dividend funds have higher share price stability and then most dividned funds or stocks continue to pay during market crash. For example T and KO continued to pay dividends when the stock market was down 50% that year. In general in bull markets growth fund does best. In Bear markets (especially ones that last more than 2 year Dividend fund do best.

Various_Couple_764

T is AT&T KO Caca Cola Both are companes.

greytoc

You are kinda comparing apples and oranges. You have to understand the underlying reason for why a dividend is being issued. Both T and KO are companies with a business which generate income and that income is returned to shareholders in the form of a dividend. However - GAB is a CEF - ie. a closed-end fund. It's an income fund which where the investment style is to invest in companies that the fund managers believe are under-valued. But the fund has a 10% distribution policy so the dividends are guranteed. So if the fund's investments are poor - it will get reflected in the NAV. Dividends aren't free money - those distributions will always impact the fund or company distributing the dividend.
