WMT is also often the closest (and sometimes only) retailer to many poor people in the US, however. Similar for DG in very rural areas. PG makes household necessities so no matter where they are sold it should feel the burn.

>States now must [report undocumented immigrants to DHS or risk federal funding](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/02/doj-states-undocumented-immigrants-dhs-funds.html), DOJ says If I am understanding this correctly, it means the admin is about to pull welfare benefits from states that T-Diddy doesn't like. Seems like that should hit WMT, DG, PG, etc. So what do you think, a solid short?

A lot of the quality paying dividend are in cyclical industries. So the key is to buy up during the trough phase of the cycle. This gets you a stronger yield as you wait for the next cycle to peak. You are never going to time it perfectly but that is not my point.  For example bought oil dividend stocks 2 years ago sold last month once the Iran war stimulated rotation into that sector. Quality Pharma and Medical device companies were cheap as hell at the beginning of this year, now they are running up as a flight to safety.  Currently is the time to be considering consumer staples and home builders such as MKC , MZTI, CAG , GEN, HLN, PG, LEN, ETC... TLDR: you can make both strong dividend yield and real returns by buying well capitalized companies during the downward trend of their respective cyclical industries. 

Punisher-3-1

And yet absolutely nobody gave two rats ass about it. Jeff Clarke couldn’t have cared any less. It’s all about ISG and where all the “growth and margin” are. Even years ago, people would question your sanity if you were working under the CSG group at PG, even for halo brand like Alienware or XPS. There was a special carve out for Precision but that is because the customers buying Precision workstations were also buying PowerEdge. It was all about PowerEdge ISG and EIS.

Happy-Champion1661

I don't even know why I am seriously answering to you, but it doesn't take a genius to buy a "long dated" call option (6 months out at least) when PG < 140 and sell when PG \~ 150 for a 50-100% profit they are stable stonks, nothing different from your average swing trader, just I trade 20% IV stonks and they trade SNDK and MU at 80% IV.

Happy-Champion1661

I like to buy stuff like MCD PEP KO PG and so on when they are on sale because they hedge me against a tech crash. No they won't moon, their IV is cheap enough that even a small move will make you money tho. Last year I traded PG in the 140-150 range, made infinite money, this year it has been harder because they just went sideways for the past 6months, only KO is running up up up and never stops.

sashazaliz

most right anybody’s been in this thread, no argument. edge is what you get paid minus what actually happens. the fat number doesn’t tell you if it’s a good sell, and boring doesn’t save you when the sleepy one surprises. KHC and PG&E, yep. only difference is who we’re talking to. you’re telling people how to sell well. i’m telling the guy sorting his screen by biggest premium to knock it off first. everything you said is what he learns next. and you’re right that sorting by premium is just sorting by expected move with no idea what’s overpriced. that’s the whole problem with those screeners. we’re on the same side, you’re just further down the road.

backtest_ai

You're describing implied vol. The premium is the market's forecast of the move, and yeah, a fat premium means a big expected move rather than free money. That half is right, and many sellers never get there. Where your premise is wrong though: The size of the premium says nothing about whether the sell is good. The only question is whether the move you're being paid for is bigger than the move that actually happens. Sell 120 IV that realizes 70 and the scary earnings name was a great sell. Sell 14 IV on the sleepy dividend stock while it realizes 20 and you lose money. The edge is implied minus realized. Premium size doesn't enter into it. Same reason the screener habit fails btw, sorting by premium is just sorting by expected move. The sort has no idea what's overpriced. Priced right means no edge. You're collecting exactly what the risk is worth, then paying spread and commissions out of it. The only reason to sell any option is you think it's priced wrong in your favor, and that can be the scary earnings name as easily as the utility. Honestly this is the whole game, not just a CC thing. Every option trade is a bet on how much the stock actually moves vs what's priced in. Sellers want less than that, buyers need more. Even buying a call because you think it's going up, you're making a vol bet whether you know it or not, the thing still has to move more than what you paid. Also, a calm stock is just one the market expects to be calm. KHC was about as sleepy as dividend names get, then feb 2019 it cut the dividend and disclosed an SEC subpoena, down 27% in one day. PG&E was an actual utility and lost something like two thirds of its value in two weeks on wildfire liability. The small premium only ever meant less was expected, and expected can be wrong. When it is, you eat the same left tail, you just got paid less to stand there. "Worked for a while, then it didn't" is what selling premium with no vol view looks like. The boring pile does it too, slower.

What would you call Proctor and Gamble? PG. Isn’t that their entire business too? I think there are plenty of good companies in mature stable markets. And many people like this dividends. They just aren’t high growth areas if your focus is on growth.

I’d definitely be more on the cautious side right now rather than being keen to pour your money into a few positions looking for a golden opportunity. Market uncertainty is high bc it’s still pricing in a lot of geopolitical uncertainty. That being said, I’m personally looking at a few companies like ORCL, PG, UBER, NOW, etc. Small caps have been treating me nicely lately though, highly recommend if you’re heavily liquidated and want to be a little risky

horesebeblind

I would submit AAPL and GOOGL are somewhat defensive in nature. Large mature companies with easy to grasp businesses. Further, the old defensive stocks: PEP, PG, GIS, KHC hardly seem safe anymore. Good places to lose money IMO. AAPL and GOOGL safer.

steady_compounder

If the goal really is to protect principal after a big lesson from concentration, I would stop thinking in terms of the next basket of tickers and start with portfolio rules. Position size, max allocation per stock, and what percent stays in broad indexes will matter more than whether PEP beats PG. A lot of turnarounds fail because people change names but keep the same concentration habit.

bam2350

I think if you read a variety of sources you will see individual experience and suggestions that converge on index funds. That said this is r/stocks... Of your list, i own mcd, pg, and pep. MCD has a strong history but might face headwinds. The classic cover of it being a real estate play as much as fast food has changed based on some headlines I've seen. Personally, I'm only considering adding to the PG and PEP positions. However, PEP has lagged the market significantly in the time I've owned it. I'm not dealing with the sums you are. In June and July my net trades were only $5500; it was mostly ETFs, with only GOOGL, KO, AMZN, NVDA as my individual stock purchases. If you're good enough at this to turn "a small amount" into >200K by age 36, why ask on Reddit for help? Surely you already on track to having it be >800K with continued contributions and growth. 1000% growth on 200K starts looking like generational wealth, but is the risk/reward worth it? Financial security might not require that kind of growth. Don't lose sight of diversification. Standard statements and cliches apply...

Ok_Location7677

I’ve had a very long relationship with my broker. My first experience in options probably was very similar to what you’re going through now but that was back in 08 and the banks literally had to be bailed out. So you would have been 7 or 8 at that time lol. It was a shit show. Anyway, over the years I’ve cashed out around 580k (house, taxes and more reliable vehicle) and my portfolio is sitting around 1.5m right now. Most of which is in PG because in a volatile market there is nothing like good ol reliable PG. Been in the index since 1930. Got a 2.8% dividend early this year and it’s a reliable grower. 

Ok_Location7677

Can you name a single time that has happened to PG? Literally never lmao. It’s not like the death lettuce. So let’s not compare the 2 shall we?

Ok_Location7677

That’s how they get ya. The only people that win in a volatile market are the firms with enough capital to move the graph one direction or the other. They will suck bulls and bears dry alike. Better to just park your money at PG. Oldest company on the index. Never been delisted since it hit in 1930. Reliable 6-10 percent growth with 2.8 dividend this year. But hey, I’m just an old head that survived the housing bubble. 

Ok_Location7677

If you love your family be smart and park your money at PG until this volatility is over. I’ll take 6-10 percent growth and 2.8 point dividends from the oldest most reliable asset in the index. Been in since 1930. 

Ok_Location7677

I mean, I personally hate volatility such as this. It’s just firms sucking both bulls and bears dry. So I’m parked at PG until 2028. I’ll take a steady 6-10 percent from a reliable company in the index since the 1930s. Plus reliable dividends on my 7 figures. Go ahead and gamble your money away bro. Us old heads see the writing on the walls. It’s 2008 up in this bitch. 

Ok_Location7677

We rotated out. I myself abhor market volatility such as this. It’s an endless squeeze on both bulls and bears. So I’m parked at PG until 2028. I’ll take 6 percent on 7 figures until things figure themselves out. Plus great dividends. 

Ok_Location7677

I think in the small timeframe we have that the only people that will profit is big firms with enough capital to move the direction a few points one way or another. They will continue to suck bulls and bears dry before retreating to a safe haven stock like PG. So instead of trying to beat them at their own game it could just be more beneficial to get into PG now before they park their cash there. 

Ok-Nose29

Yes I'm more speaking about this small timeframe on the way down where things start popping as ai investors look for any untapped value These would be random volatile spikes where as PG will probably slowly grind upwards Both good imo

Ok_Location7677

Or look to the oldest stock in the index. Proctor and Gamble. PG has been in the index every day since the 1930s. Good ol reliable place that firms park cash.

Cav829

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.

CLYDEFR000G

Rotated to stable dividend payers, they took profits and secured them. Look at big names like PEP, VZ, O, PG, HD, JNJ. The list goes on and on.

Superunknown999

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.

EmbarrassedCow2825

You're 100% right. I see a lot of people on here saying they want to diversify, so they buy a mega cap tech company, an ai company, a software company, and a chip company. That's not diversification. Everybody should have 1 anchor stock in each sector and build around that. I would say if you're younger the 3 sectors that are ok to omit from a portfolio are REITs, staples (besides Costco, Walmart, and Casey's), and utilities. These sectors just offer little growth, and the downside can be enormous. Like general mills, PG&E, and reits during COVID. I think they can be great when close to retirement age, but don't think they're necessary for anybody under 50

Lol they have been proving themselves over the past year of reporting. Pretty sure Walmart and PG being more expensive than Amazon (a huge beneficiary of AI coupled with a bigger version of Walmart).  Speaks to a broader group think in the investment industry that silicon and select defensives is the only investment.

Look at the valuation on TSLA over the last 10 years, these companies don’t obey fundamentals, this isn’t PG or JNJ, TSLA and SPCX run on hype, which is how they’re able to maintain insane valuations indefinitely.

They're usually made of cotton or rayon (a fiber made from cellulose which is usually from wood pulp but can also be derived from bamboo pulp) Cotton: AIN (Albany International), the rest I can find are below the subreddit market cap rule Rayon: seems like most manu's are privately owned or below the subreddit market cap rule

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.

While it features colorful 3D animation, it is technically an independent, dark animated series created for teens and adults. The series carries a PG-13 rating on Netflix and typically explores existential dread, bizarre psychological horror, and mature themes.  For context, the series revolves around humans trapped inside a virtual reality simulation, often dealing with personal trauma and their own sanity breaking. While the jokes, bright colors, and fast-paced comedy can appeal to a wide audience, parents should use discretion as episodes contain frequent cartoon violence, scary imagery, and mild profanity.

I do that too, and save like 5% for gamble stocks. I use Tide religiously and love Dawn dishspray. I buy PG. I am on Reddit all the time. I buy RDDT. I have an iPhone, guess what I buy? For now, buy what you use or have faith in. I promise you that even if you missed MU, there will be another MU. There’s always some stock that’s gonna skyrocket. Right now this is not a normal market and I’ve been in this since 2001. It’s just not. A certain person is using this Iran war as a pump and dump. Is AI amazing? Maybe. A lot of people are making money in the market but that can go straight back to normal valuation in a heartbeat. I find the things I like and I buy them. I don’t buy things I don’t believe in. And diversify. Be in it for the long haul. And I always keep a huge chunk in SGOV. I have some thoughts about June through October and I think it’s gonna be really choppy. But that’s me.

Most-Ear-3678

Exactly. I’ve done so much this morning while talking with you, I just hope you’ve accomplished the same. No, I really think you got some weird shit going on and of course I’ll never be able to prove that. Just like you won’t believe my account size. That’s totally fine. It takes a certain person to attempt to humiliate someone that wasn’t even talking to you. I’ll bet you had a fucked up childhood. Your dad probably yelled at you a lot, maybe beat you up, or talked down on you. I could totally see it. I kept it PG and called you a nerd, and you just couldn’t let it go ever since!

makken

Most of it was conviction from research and forming a thesis, then regularly checking in to make sure the thesis was still holding. Some examples: Tesla: I started buying back in 2012 at around \~$35/share when Mitt Romney was bagging on the company and the narrative was it was going to go bust like the next solyndra. What convinced me to take a position on it was researching and reading the early reviews of the upcoming Model S and realizing how great of a car it actually was. Microsoft: Also started buying around the same time at around $28/share when the narrative was that the iPad was going to kill all windows machines. Looking into it and how Microsoft's business worked, that narrative made no sense to me. Intel: starting buying in early 2023 when it fell to near book value (\~$26/share). I was convinced that intel was uniquely positioned to take advantage of the AI buildout and was held back by execution (I posted my thoughts at the time [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/1d2ykg9/thoughts_and_feedback_on_valuing_intel/)). This was a turnaround bet. Google: starting buying in late 2023/early 2024 at just below $150/share. Narrative at the time was that AI was going to kill search. I was instead convinced that Google was going to be a leader in AI and would be best positioned to monetize it. That said, I've also had my share of stocks that didn't pan out: AT&T: this was my COVID work-from-home bet. brought in mid 2020's at around $20/share. I thought AT&T would benefit from increased internet traffic resulting from work-from-home, plus (at the time), it had HBO, giving it exposure to the streaming market, which was exploding from people staying home. Additionally with the fed cutting interest rates sharply to zero, I thought it was going to benefit significantly from being able to refinance its debt at historically low interest rates. PG&E: This was a bet on electrification, not just of cars, but I saw it as a huge trend going into the next decade (heat pumps, lawnmowers, and all sorts of other equipment). PG&E served the market that I saw was going to spearhead these efforts (San Francisco and northern California). Didn't see the wildfires and resulting bankruptcy coming. Adobe: I'll maybe put this into the "hasn't played out yet" and I'm holding through big drops. The narrative is that AI is going to eat photoshop's lunch. I'm convinced that's overblown, and it's not reflective in Adobe's financials (still growing top line, stable margins). Revenue declines and margin contraction would be my indication that the thesis is broken and for me to exit.

I live in Sacramento, where we have SMUD, which is a public utility. My parents live in the next county over in Stockton, where they have PG&E and their utility bill is twice what mine is in the summers and I run the AC all day.

bpetersonlaw

California residents buying power from a CA utility which buys its power from a Nevada electricity producer. CPUC probably can't do anything because producer isn't subject to CA regulations. I blame the CA utility for now renewing the contract far in advance and for many years. Can probably purchase electricity from CA, maybe PG&E, though more expensive.
