Agree. All this talk about developing the infrastructure strikes me as odd when JNJ already did all that. CMPS is gonna be using the existing infrastructure. I’m sure there will be some adaptations but by and large it’s all there already. Like Levine said, “a spravato room is a comp360 room.”

JNJ Day Trade Review: Treating a Long Upper Wick as Information, Not an Automatic Rejection

put 10k into JNJ today. honestly a pretty clean path forward with everything they have in the pipeline. same with LLY. a bit volatile since they're pharma/healthcare but they'll stay chugging along during tech dips as long as the overall market stays strong

I would look at solid Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings as part of your safety portfolio. My core holdings include:
Realty Income (O)
Federal Realty Investment Trust (FRT)
Enterprise Products (EPD)
Kimberly Clark (KMB)
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)

Is it time to start shifting into defensive stocks? JNJ is paying ridiculous dividends

Time to get defensive with JNJ dividends

Look at stocks that are up today. MRK, JNJ,MU, SNDK,JBL

lucky. I'm up $300 on JNJ! But down on META by $2k.

It's a tricky situation. Gold is falling which signals confidence vit the market is definitely signaling a bearish tendency. The two don't align but the VIX is still in check. This is a "trade the volatility" market. Up, down, up, down every week; that's what the White House wants because they know what's coming next and how to play it. Now I'd a good time to just buy what you use and sit on it. JNJ, WMT, MCD, CELH... if you use it in your home chances are many others do as well. Stop trying to trade this environment and just invest for now. Options have an expiry date; stocks don't.

Most of my portfolio is made up of Large Value ETFs (SCHD, VYM, HDV, SPHD) and Large Blend ETFs (VTI, VIG). Outside of that, I own healthcare (JNJ, ABBV), technology (MSFT) and real estate (VNQ, O).
I've been looking at my sector allocation and wondering if it's diversified enough. Which sectors do you think I'm missing, and what companies would fit well with this portfolio?

Think about it this way, you have over 600 individual stocks, they just don’t show up that way. ETF’s fees are very very low and help make diversification easy, especially for ongoing investing — no spreadsheet or remembering to put more money into an industry to keep balanced exposure.
You could look into some other dividend funds either with or without more focused international exposure. Growth tends to beat dividends for younger investors but this is r/ dividends and nothing better than seeing money roll in different days of the month.
You can look up index constituents and their % allocation and use that to make a list of individual stocks and how much to buy of each.
DGRO for example (JPM, AAPL, ABBV, JNJ, MSFT, XOM all around 3% of the fund) If you’re not spending a lot and can buy fractional that lets you split it up regardless of share price.
Individual stocks are great if you have something you want to own and really believe in if just for the psychological reason of seeing the shares. You already own NVIDIA, Google, just under the ETF wrapper but sometimes it’s nice to see them and to have dividends on different days of the year.
If you want to put a small % into individual stocks go ahead but don’t put it all into one, and understand this will cause you to deviate from the market and in general, underperform. Don’t get mad if you lose money on an individual stock and try to only buy stuff you would hold for ten years without checking the price.
Paying attention to short term price movement is trading, and that’s a different game than investing. Don’t mix the two in your mind - trading is about winning off of the market - irrational or not. Investing is about being rational even if the market isn’t.

Had me looking though. I actually pulled up the JNJ chart before I realized the exp dates were already past. I play small positions on stuff like this from Reddit and I think I've made more off random Reddit posts than I have on the $250/wk Chris Sain money team list. Kinda sad really.
