Berkshire, KO, Pep the only green ones for me

Wait - don't we all have diversified portfolios filled with a certain chunk of recession stocks like WMT and KO to hedge against days like this?  Don't forget if you're actively managing instead of chucking it all in SPY, the days you're not green but not nearly as red as SPY are still wins.

KO and PM calls

Demogorgonaut

Loving the bleed. How long before we see retards in r/stocks start posting about “dividend kings” and “defensive compounders? Thread after thread on WM, P&G, PM, KO and so on? “Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash flow is reality” starting to trend again? I was there when it happened 🤫

KO had Negative Free Cash Flows this year for 2 straight quarters for the first time this century But don't worry, they'll sign a deal with OpenAI and everything will be fine.

Outrageous_Tip_2133

Due to GLP1 drugs and health cnsciousness among milleniums and Gen Z, all obesity inducing products are going out of favor. Q3 also saw record low alchol sales. Companies like KO and PEPSI will go extinct unless they pivot to healthier stuff. Noone in my circle drinks soda or munches on garbage like cheetos/dorritos.

For the first time in the last 100 years, $KO had negative free cash flow and yet no one seems to care If it wasn’t for the AI boom covering it, the rest of the economy is in the absolute gutter right now

No SNAP? puts on KO. Its that easy

HeightSea5673

sad day for safe stocks holders, just when u thought KMB is one of the safest dividend stock to holds it goes down 12%, imagine KO going down -12%, unbelievable

Athleteprudent52

With market about to have a major correction in the next 6-8 months, I wouldn’t do that. I would suggest Coca Cola (KO) and diversify into less risky stocks.

Things I have done. 1) I lowered my Monday S&P DCA. The remainder is sitting in a HYSA while I wait to see what happens. 2) My Friday S&P DCA from weekly day trading profits, I split into 1/3s. 1/3 goes into the S&P. 1/3 goes into HYSA waiting for what happens. 1/3 goes into stocks that are down that I like. For example, I was buying Amazon at 212 before it ran to 240+. That position is sitting up 15% currently in under 30 days. Taken some profits and letting the rest run. Other examples of stocks I have bought are KO, XOM, WMT, and many more. Made my first buy on META today since it’s down about 14% from the high. But I also make good money day trading so I feel pretty good about all of this.

kylestoned

Here's your play for next quarter earnings: Short KO and PEP. More so KO. The most purchased item with SNAP is... Soft drinks! States that have most residents on SNAP tend to be in the.... South, whose favorite soft drink is... Coca-Cola!

Serious question here. Are You trading some VIX Short-Term Futures to hedge? Something like a 2x leverage. What are the downsides besides VIX going down which is obvious. not talking about a KO here.

It’s over guys the era of retarded redditors excited over WMT KO PG PM WM shall rise again

StockCasinoMember

Top 5 years in the markets were 34-47% returns. We are currently at ballpark 17% for S&P and 24% for nasdaq. Feels like 2021 again except we are going into rate cuts this time. Not something I am betting against but I have done a few things. 1) Lowered my weekly DCA into S&P by 66%. 2) Trimming profits on individual stock positions as we go. 3) 33% goes into HYSA waiting for a correction. 33% goes towards stocks that are down but I think are good. For example, I was buying Amazon, XOM, KO and others while they were down. I am now up on all of those and have been trimming profits on those. Been swing trading a bunch of other stocks as well which is going great.

HeightSea5673

this market is just beyond ridiculous, never has consumer defensives drop that much % points before historically. KO down 2.5% CLX drop 4% PG down 2% PEP down 3% MDLZ down 5% CL down 2% KMB down 2.5% SJM down 4% KHC down 5% KDP down 5% hello this is consumer defensive stocks that BARELY move 1% point every trading day, wtf is seriously going on, this is unprecedented in the history of S&P

Let's be honest here - 80%+ of the people calling it a bubble are just sour grapes on missing out on the runup. I guess they feel better to karma feed off others in the same boat. 98%+ of this sub has no clue about the financial data you presented. Not to mention the follow up to $130b is projected to be over $200b in current FY. And this is just the very beginnings of AI buildout. But sure keep calling it circular Monopoly money when companies such as KO are already using AI.

kwdijiwjduhdhuhein

Its my first time, couldnt resist this time. Waiting now for the KO or the moment to tell everyone told you so. In each case I see it more as a statement than an investment

sdanielsmith

Not if you're really after the dividend. I just keep buying. What do I care if KO or BAC falls 25%? Neither are going anywhere and I just keep putting my money into them. Honestly, it's why I'm a bear overall. I want the market to tank so I can get more dividend shares at a better price. Yes, my overall portfolio will "look" bad, but the money I get each qtr will keep coming in, and for my retirement planning, that's what I'm after.

PaperHandsTheDip

no shit, those are blue chip as fuck. Except KO. That's like some MMA type of shit there

MathTutorAndCook

There are unspoken caveats here. Assuming KO doesn't move you're going to lose value to theta (albeit slowly).

RSG is certainly AI-proof. "Will NVIDA keep giving at least 20% annual returns like it historically has done for the past 10 years" I've owned NVDA for years - for the company to get back to my cost basis it would have to be in financial trouble. It's been a particularly amazing stock for the last few years, but before that I sat through more than one 50%+ drawdown. You had close to a 40% drawdown earlier this year. It's currently a 4.5T company. Do I think it will continue to be a good company? Yes. Do I think it will repeat this run and become a 9T company? No. Too many people think the market of the last 5 years can continue indefinitely and everyone is all-in on the same stocks. I trimmed a bit of NVDA last year, trimmed a bit more this year. Do well while this unusually fantastic period for investing continues but I just think people shouldn't get too into the mindset that the escalator up goes to the moon. Twice in the last 5 years (2022, 2025) people gave a lot of the fantastic gains from the prior two years back in a hurry and how many people sold at some point in those declines and didn't buy back, or wound up buying back higher eventually? "dividend ETF" I don't think you should go with a dividend etf either. IMO, create a diversified portfolio that has a portion devoted to aggressive growth themes/names, but don't make it every single stock that everyone else has. Find 1-2 things that are the next thing. That's a portion of your portfolio and if it's a portion of your portfolio then it forces you to be selective rather than buying every growth stock that sounds interesting. Take the other portion of your portfolio and find high quality/slow growth (preferably buying when the names are oversold/temporarily out of favor) and maybe a value idea or two. This portion of your portfolio is the foundation - steady, high quality, well-managed companies that have delivered year in/year out for years. Not something as conservative as KO, but to use the example of RSG, something like that. SPGI, AXP, CBOE, MA, JPM, etc. etc (not necessarily those but something along those lines.) These are probably not going to be that exciting, but when the market turns, you're going to likely lose less here. The lowered volatility of this side of your portfolio offsets to some degree the likely higher volatility of the other side. When the market isn't "growth stocks only go up", you'll be happy that you have at least some buffer rather than a portfolio full of highly speculative growth names that are going to lose half the next time there's a 2022 or early 2025. You're talking about the very long-term (which is good! too many people have turned too ultra short-term with investing) and I think what I'm trying to suggest is how do you create something broadly that you can stick with through good times and bad (and there will absolutely be other bad market times in the years ahead.)

Long-Huckleberry-809

I disagree he could use something like trading 212. Commission is zero. And there are single investors who’ve held for longer than 20 years. Buffet with KO for example. He needs to buy stocks that are kind of like a monopoly. LVMH, KO, United health, tsmc, unilever and so on. But I wouldn’t say buy just one. Rotate between them daily. Pick around 20 to be on the safest side.

TheInkDon1

I gave you an upvote back, because people are too focused on home runs. Want to get 36% apy steadily out of **KO**? Buy an 80-delta LEAPS Call and sell CCs against it. The 34DTE 72C at 25-delta sold against the 82-delta 419DTE 57.5C is paying 3.2% over the 32 days from Monday. Extrapolate that to something like 36% if you do it over and over.

Afaik KO hasn't addressed the proposed in-state SNAP soda waivers to US revenue in any of the conference calls. I'm surprised someone hasn't asked about it yet. The snap waivers on "junk" food are a more long-term issue for consumer staples imo than a one-time SNAP interruption that I also think probably won't actually happen. The comparatively ok staples have plenty of international business.

Buffett needs help on OXY and KO so he made a call to Trump to bomb Venezuela for oil and put sanctions. He owns all the treasuries. Buffett is making the calls now. That why he retiring. He is going out as top dog 

CommunicationFew41

But yet here you are ? Long term investor you say? Cheerio sir Cheerio oh ho ho. You may wanna do a little self reflection on that pig/reguard thing you got going on... Therapy maybe? now back to the subject. Fundamentals or company visions don't mean jack in your comment or my response. So seeing how you cant do the math Ill do it for you. $100K is what you would be down. Lemme guess you have like 10 shares of 3M and KO? OOOhhh maybe a share of UNH?

MagicJuggler

I converted my KO CSP into a spread. Collecting 70 in a week is worth it imo, and it gives me protection against a rugpull. And am parking more cash into SGOV. I repositioned one of my silver CSPs downwards, took a small profit. I feel like it will be less a sudden crash, and more a gradual retreat downwards, letting me wheel in more. I am going to watch to see how things progress tomorrow.

Had to look up the distributions for YM Tesla fund. Avg about $50 a month on an $850 investment in a fund that I have zero confidence in the managers to maintain the share price. Meanwhile buywrite TSLA $44k investment to collect $3k premium right now on the ATM 30DTE 442.5 call. I'll argue that all these stocks you mentioned (and all the stocks YM offers) are not really that good for doing a buywrite strategy. Maybe msft and goog if you want to own the stock. Compare YM distributions to premiums on boring stocks that have pretty low "risk of cratering." SCHD $2700 investment collect $15-50 premium on the ATM 30DTE 27 call. KO $7000 investment collect about $115 premium on the ATM 30DTE 71 call. Look at something with an awful spread like GSK. Way OTM 30 delta I can collect $70 for the 30DTE 46.5 call and I would invest $4500. Plus you collect a dividend on all these stocks and skip writing the call that month. You don't even have to do anything. Decent chance of capital appreciation on all these stocks.

MagicJuggler

I am watching to see if gold bounces off 4000, or drills back to 3000. Either way, I am hedged due to a leap strangle. I still see gold going up to 5000 in two years or so. I have one CSP on SLV that expires today, at the same strike as one of my leap puts (I am sitting on four leap puts on SLV). I am watching to see if silver consolidates around 50 or drills to 30. Either way, I am hedged. My only concern would be if Silver suddenly moons today instead of Thursday. KO wheeling is going to help pull me up. I have another CSP I'm holding this week, and if I get assigned, no worries; the market sentiment has become bullish for them. I am going to probably do some research into Franklin Templeton (BEN) to determine if I want to pull the trigger. They have a low P/E ratio relative to other XLFs, manage quite a few overseas index funds, and are a dividend giant.

Charming_Raccoon4361

KO is becoming Blue chip stock

DesignerSea494

KO was a nice move. Well done.

MagicJuggler

Trailing stop saved my bacon on the gold drop. Time to see what happens next. I exited my SLV csps and rolled one down to the safety of my put nets. If I get assigned, I have something to write CCs with. Otherwise, I roll and average down. I should have simply bought KO instead of doing a spread, but I made money. I sold another atm put and if I get assignes, groovy. Otherwise, I am interested in Verizon, Franklin Templeton, Public Service Enterprise Group, and the DAX. I'll spend more time researching them. I'm parking cash in SGOV in the meantime.

KO up 4% on earnings up 15% YTD great year for this stock

Affectionate-Idea690

ICoca-Cola (KO) stock is not a reliable recession indicator; in fact, it is widely considered a recession-resistant or "defensive" stock. Its products, like beverages, are considered consumer staples, meaning demand for them tends to remain relatively stable even when the economy slows.  There you go regards 😂😂😂😂

Still suffering from the tariff beatings and lackluster US economy, meaning there is a huge upside once the smoke clears.

MagicJuggler

Adjust my GLD trailing stop. If it drops below 700, collect my profit and call it a good week. Watch the KO earnings call. Neutral-bullish. Sit on my two silver CSPs. I bought a fourth OTM put LEAP, so am waiting to see how this plays out. October has been my best month so far; four weeks out of four, I've met my weekly target of 700 in gains.

I may buy another leap put on SLV, and roll more silver CSPs. I sold my calls on Friday to lock in profits, and am watching to see if it retests the 15-day SMA instead. I am long-term bullish but see a potential for short-term correction. I set a stop-loss on my GLD leap for 5% upside worst-case, but am otherwise good to let it ride up. My IAU call is still up 39% so...not to worried there. I'm thinking to deploy some cash to CSP KO as its earning date is Tuesday. Otherwise, I'm sitting on 2.3k in realized profits, and am considering where to park cash. Franklin Templeton (BEN) is one I'm considering for dividends.

Exactly - now the e-commerce giant AMZN is a tech company. KO is using MSFT and CRM for AI solutions - does not make them a tech company, but another consumer.

You are ignoring the math; KO would be worth more today if they did buybacks instead of dividends for the last bajillion years.

Various_Couple_764

>In other words, company literally loses value every time they pay dividends. If that were true KO after 100 years of dividend payments would be worthier nearly notiing. But in reality it worth vastly more than it was 100 years ago. Selling shares and stock splits are permanent. once it happens it is not going back to what it was. After a dividend is payed there is a very small share price drop but it doesn't last long as new profits refill the company back account and the value of the company recovers from the payout. When people bool money together to build an apartment complex they expect to get money back from their investment. And they do. They get a portion of the apartment complex profit. Each investor in the apartment complex is a shareholder, and their profit sharing checks are the dividend. Or they can sell there share of the business to someone else and that person then gets the profit sharing check from the apartment complex. This has been the normal way businesses have done business for hundreds of years.

Successful_Safe_1440

Even if these were ITM there are hundreds of companies that would be better for growth and capital gains. Declining dividend companies good for selling certain types of options maybe but buying calls on KO at 30x p/e right before the recession idk General Mills is trading at 9 p/e if you want to buy calls on consumer staples i have a GIS call. I’m not hating on you. You have enough time value that there is a chance

You got plenty of time. Even the KO may workout. The smaller time frames have just become bullish, and KO closed up 1% in the bloodbath that was Friday. That is telling of the bulls being in charge. Seems like your vibes are on punto!
