I must remember to never invest in KO.
KO is screwed anyways. RFK is gonna cost them 10B in yearly losses by taking soda off the SNAP program
Not really. It should be a calculated risk to buy a growth stock that is trading at a P/E below 20 or below companies like $KO. It wasn't certain it was going down, but it was a high enough posibility.
I own COKE but not KO. I guess, it's time to buy KO too. Costco is another company that rejected anti-DEI proposals. Are there any other companies shareholders that rejected anti-DEI proposals? I need to buy those to balance out my TSLA 😕.
Boom! U/bubblegum-rose drops the old “sorry, if you’re still sitting with them, then you *are* one of them” hammer for a solid KO
Those proposals are insane. Is Trump on KO’s board?
I take this to mean that KO and COST are less afraid of this govt than they are their customer base.
I cant even with these proposals. they read like the manifesto of a terrorist organization(who have gone after KO in the past btw). Not joking, what these people are saying has a lot of similarities with some of the most notorious terror organizations of the last few decades.
All you have to do is compare the stock charts of KO and PEP to see which company knows what it’s doing
>"Nearly all of corporate America has recognized that DEI policies have become toxic and rejected by most consumers in the United States It all boils down to what DEI policy entails. I'm all for the general messaging - though whether it belongs in the corporate world where we're already adults is questionable - ie the message should be shared long before this point in life. What I'm opposed to is the reverse discrimination DEI has introduced in many cases - the point lawsuits were filed and won against companies. Disclosure - KO Shareholder since 2008-09.
It's boring, but effective. I've had KO for over 25 years now. DRIPs (direct re-investment plan) is a good way to let it grow as well
Vance would provide KO
Calls on KO when atomic bomb drops for nuka cola.
Maybe not the most likely to get wiped, but maybe a play to look at is KO. McDonald's just reported weak sales. Coke is an american icon and there are many markets boycotting american goods or transitioning away from US goods. Latinos have been boycotting coke and this has already shown up in the Q1 decrease in sales in Latin America. I also predict that KO is being supported by outdated thinking. Typically during an economic downturn, dividend payers and consumer staples are safe plays. But this time it is different. With continued isolationist policies, global trade wars, boycotts, and the low switching costs for consuming beverages, I see poor performance for KO in the next 12 months.
Take like $1500 and buy KO or COST or something boring and promise yourself you won’t sell it until next year. At least you’ll walk away with something
Huh? This is about KO

There is no "buttcoin". Buttcoin is an expression that losers love to use as an excuse for staying poor. MSTR is a turbocharged Bitcoin play. The issuing of shares at a premium (say: 2x NAV) allows to enrich present shareholders with every new issuance. Of course you pay a premium for that (when you buy shares of every company you pay a premium to the NAV, it's called "goodwill"), but then your investment will bear fruits in the following years, same as if you buy KO, paying a premium, but then get to enjoy the appreciation of value in the followjng years. I understand that not many people, particularly here, understand the concept, that goes way above their little heads. You might be an exception. However, if this is the case for you, feel free to keep saying "buttcoin".
New Berkshire ceo didn't have a can of Coca-Cola sitting in front of the camera like Warren does during the event Puts on $KO
Warren Buffett’s cash pile(360B) would make it the 25th largest company in the world if it was a stock. JUST HIS CASH ALONE…. They could buy any of these companies all cash no debt: ASML $360b COST $350b ORCL $340b KO $330b they already own 9% The list goes on: Toyota, Chevron, Merck, PepsiCo, etc. etc.
KO is overpriced junk compared to pepsi
Because 20% is nothing compared to what he sees as a legitimate market multiple. 20% off never before seen highs is pocket change. That's where too many investors are being suckered. Take a look back at 3 and 5 year period to see where the bottom really could be when you factor in a severe recession, multiple erosion, volume erosion, loss of market position as buyers switch out of categories or buying US at all, tarrif impacts....it's not pretty. We have never seen in most of our lifetimes how bad it could get. Look all the way back to 1980 when I got out of b school and you start to get a picture. I was investing depreciating dollars in money funds at 18% that's how messed up it was. Trumps policies could very easily bring that kind of stagnation back and the worse thing is that you could have true stagflation...high inflation and stagnant or negative growth. That is NOT a good set of conditions for the stock market. So, Buffet likely sees more pain ahead and the opportunity to buy as a bottom feeder. He has done it before with KO, GS,AEP, others. He gets income via loan proceeds AND warrants to buy in cheap along with asset protection. The guy didn't get to be a B thru high tech or IPOs like some others but thru brains and low tech investment.
As long as he follows Buffetts rules. He will. Start with good.management. look for book value and low debt. Competitive protection. Then just say fuck it and buy 800B of KO.
These soda prices are turning me into a cheap bastard like my dad was. Whenever I go out I just drink water and spend the money I would have spent on soda on KO instead.

They are paying goodwill , same as if you buy shares of KO, which trade way above asset value. You pay more now, because you want to be part of a machine that produces accretion for you. As time goes by, your shares will accrue more and more value due to the “ticket price” new investors had to pay in order to have a part of the company. It’s like having a gold mine. You buy shares of the company at more than the value of the assets, because you know gold will come out of it. In this case, the “gold” is the money paid by the new investors, which becomes bitcoin, the new gold. At the moment you pay around 2x net asset value. Means you can buy 2 btc in cash or 1 btc in intrinsic value for shares of the “mine”. The 2 btc will remain 2 btc. The 1 btc will accrue as new investors come in, and they might well become 2 btc in 3 or 4 years’ time, and it’s a free btc accretion machine from there. You might think the ticket price is too steep. I don’t. Certainly is not a “ponzi scheme”.
But of course they are. They sell at more than NAV, and every time they *increase the btc per share you own*. When you purchase MSTR, you pay a goodwill , same as when you buy KO. They use this goodwill to benefit the existing shareholders (me). It’s beyond me that people are ready to shoot at Strategy without having a clue of how they work.
It’s a completely dIfferent company, independent of KO. KO owns a stake in COKE but only holds a 5% voting power.

Walt Disney Company ([DIS](https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=dis)) and Coca-Cola ([KO](https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=ko)) have issued 100-year bonds in the past. Argentina, Austria and Mexico as well
Good question, that's actually my fuckup. Turns out I've had the wrong ticker on my watchlist: stock ticker COKE (Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated), rather than the original KO (Coca-Cola).
KO. They have drained every drop of fresh water back in my hometown. They closed the factory and moved as soon as water ran out.

Recession plays I’m watching: • $PM (stable cashflow + dividend whale stacking) • $KO (defensive rotation starting) • $XLE (energy calls quietly loading) $SPY puts are noisy — but smart money hides in these zones first.
Not everyone just owns the wider index. Buffet through BRK has enough KO shares to pay them $800m in dividends per year.
$DPZ is running nicely alongside $KO
Decent guidance from KO. Some very stupid questions on the conference called related to USD stability that did not seem to be much of a concern. Also this: “Disruptions in container shippings or bookings late May / Early June” “Not expected to see disruptions for [Coca-Cola]”

I can tell you this the coke cola bottling plant ticket symbol (coke) has announced a 1 for 10 stock split 🪓. Meaning for for every share you have they will give you 9. This is a good deal if you want to play with the bankers money. I always say stock splits and issuing new shares of stocks are equivalent to printing money 💰. So if you had 10 shares you would get a lot of 100. As a general rule stocks usually go down after a stock split and go up after a stock buy back. Again the coke cola bottling plant may be a better long term investment if you just want to buy and hold on to the Coke stock. I'm not referring to the stock (KO) by the way. After the stock split you sell covered calls , or sell covered puts. I hope this helps. This is a long term play like over a year. I keep saying traders need to focus on acting like investment banks and hedge funds because those guys are the guys that trade for a longer term and don't do short term gambling. I always described Pepsi as being more diversified in it's products but is subject to more risk.
how about KO they report tomorrow pre market
Pepsi is more of an international business than $KO, so I actually like the idea for a lot of reasons, but the yield is just one more.
What if you bought an 80-delta Call pretty far out, like 327DTE? The March 2026 60C for 14.28. Then sell a 2May Call somewhere near 30-delta? The closest would be the 34-delta 2May73C for 0.65. The 1-week ROI on that is 0.65 / 14.28 = 4.5%. \~230% apy (A much bigger number because the denominator is so much smaller.) If they miss earnings, the long won't drop as many dollars as stock (and the resultant IV might help keep its price up). And if you like KO longer term (I think it's got a decent chart), then sell weekly or monthly Calls against it for another 10 months.
There is a reason PEP has such a high dividend yield right now... PEP just missed the Q and blamed "nervous consumers" for the miss. However, if you track their products across major distributors in snack and drinks, you will see the other thing PEP has in abundance is inventory on the shelves, but it's not because of "nervous consumers". A few months ago, PEP raised prices across the product line, shrunk packaging, and cut back on promotions in major distributors. As a result, grocery stores are bloated with inventory. Meanwhile, store brands in the same categories are regularly sold out. PEP tried to hide a price increase behind the inflation narrative and consumers just walked away. Management screwed up. Now I dont think PEP is going to cut the dividend anytime soon, but the top line news will not be improving for them in the foreseeable future until they adjust pricing. For those looking for some other play in this, KO followed the same pricing path, their inventory is also not moving, and they report the Q on the 29th.
Behind the stock market are companies that produce actual goods and services (many of which you consume on a daily basis) and profits. I can name just a handful of companies and in sum they pay out over $10b in dividends each year - KO XOM PG PEP KMB. Regardless of political climate, these companies and many others are not going away and are not going to fail. Did you stop driving your petrol car or stop charing your EV car? Did you cancel your internet and mobile phone services? Did you cancel your streaming? Are you living off the land and stopped shopping for food and drink? Did you cut all electricity to house and using fire to heat? Well, then in some way you are pumping money into the economy and generating profits for some entity. "Fundamentals are out the window" - what does this even mean? Just some common catch phase that has caught on with little substance.
How are we thinking about KO?
My finance bro buddy recommended these four: KO, BRK-B, CF & OXY - roughly equal money into each. I have a brokerage acct on the side. Gambling essentially. We bet on which one would garner more growth. His recs or my hubris. He's obliterating me.
I’d go maybe up to 60%. I understand why he holds AAPL, KO, BOA, AXP. I’m not hot on Liberty Media, Oxy Petro Whatever, Sirius satellite, and he has holdings that aren’t registered on any U.S. stock exchange. He owns Sees Candies and Nebraska Furniture Mart along with GEICO outright. Lots to love. Lots I don’t understand. Lots of cash. He’s almost out the door. Let’s see if his lieutenants can come anywhere close to his returns. They’re starting with essentially black hole money though - it would be hard (but not impossible) for them to fuck it up and let a deal escape their cosmic dark energy pull.
Ahh gotcha. Yeah I had a KO call; was worth more than I paid for it after hours the day before, but KO dropped before market open,and my option was worthless. Sucks, but it’s fine.
What was the position? Also - i lost on a KO call yesterday. Feels bad.
Here’s my $KO DD on why I think it will go up: I like snorting coke
KO investors there are 5 days to vote against the anti-DEI special interest activist investors. Check your 2025 proxy statement.
I personally would just go with KO, but people see growth in PEP since it's more diversified etc.
For sure, will definitely dm you later on tonight or tomorrow. I’m honestly pretty new to trading, only done around 4 options so far after paper trading on Robinhood and analysis. Won 2 on JPM and 1 on KO, but lost today at KO (none were really big amounts - few dollars). But thanks, yeah, will def dm you.
Sounds like a fun game. What if… KO started making cocaine soda again?
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?
If this KO call prints, you’re not just back — you’re reborn 🔥📈
KO is not a huge ER mover, but volatility up into ER on 4/29 may be a good ride! Just keep that in mind if you've made some good money then :) https://preview.redd.it/efa1tqb0lewe1.png?width=607&format=png&auto=webp&s=e2aab49101033d62b7908f358d354dfc6ab0c9fd
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.
Dollar plummeting...against what and why? Dollar is trying to get devalued for trade purposes by the USA. CCP is trying to manage fx. Fx moves quickly based on any things like real gdp, trade / bop, deficits and debt, future expectations. Is a strong Dollar good or bad? Depends on who you are. If you buy imported stuff strong Dollar good. If you work for an exporter weak Dollar good. If you are invested in MNC that generate profits abroad, like KO, the weak Dollar good. If you like to travel abroad cheaply, the strong Dollar good. Since as individual investors we often have a mix of interests + / - of a strong vs a weak dollar, we don't really worry too much about the dollar. Those folks who are really set on one spot (are an exporter/importer) they should largely head fx with swaps. If we lost reserve currency status then yes we would lose equity value because our cost of debt and equity capital would likely rise. If you want to bet on usd fx because you believe you know the future, then it's not even a risk...it's an investment. For most people it's a speculation or a hedge to reduce a risk. Use your 85% to find undervalued equities when sp about 4800 or cef bond funds when 10yr at 5%.
Trump will KO him
Nah definitely a straight KO
Only stock you should really buy is KO
Kaczyński was not the president. He is a leader of a right wing party, and even at that time when PiS was in power, he was not officially a leader, although nothing ever happened without his permission - he held the true power. Right now, since 2023, we do have a liberal coalition - KO and a PiS president - Duda, and we are in high time of a presidential campaign. Important thing to note: in Poland president's role is mainly representational and has very little actual power. But these elections are quite important because they show quite poor liberal coalition support and the right wing getting more and more power back. So, answering your question - yes, people were fed up with a PiS government, especially by their constitutional ban of abortion and some very evident double standards during covid and voted for an opposition coalition. by they are doing rather poorly, and it's very likely that the right wing will come back in Poland in 2027 although now not as a majority like they did in 8 years, another even more devout right-wing party will be needed to form a coalition.
At this point all in on bottle caps. So... KO I guess?
IMO DPZ, KO and CMG are better plays,
I am 3% up since YTD. Mainly from KO and JNJ.
Can’t fire him legally ! But if he tries ; suggest you put 60% in money market paying 4.2% and rest in CD OR T OR VZ OR JNJ OR MO OR KO ALL PAYING HUGE DIVIDENDS ! Do it Monday !!
Unfortunately this subreddit is controlled by the Bogle cult and they are anti-dividend anything. You could be making $15k/quarter in KO, PG and/or MMM dividends and they'd still downvote you.
KO will still be dominating in 35 years and pays a quarterly of about .75-80 (or like .20/mo if you please!)
I got some KO while it was pretty low
Bought a KO call for .07 this morning (0DTE) and got nervous so sold it at 0.08 (my first option). Later in the day, i saw that market value was at 0.36. FML. Still a profit though at the end of the day. I had been watching KO for a few weeks now and saw signs that it would perform well (also seemed to be mirroring the market in a sense).
Well obviously SCHD is an ETF that is comprised of Lg. blend/growth stocks. Pays about a .25 qtly dividend vs. KO's .50. KO is the more expensive share price obviously, but I would argue it has better growth potential than what SCHD is comprised of. And go take a look at KO's monthly/YTD/5yr/10yr. splits as well. Impressive.
