You forgot SINA, this company is supplying live feed in 4 different languages to their consumers. They raised guidance on Q3 forecast. It recently pulled back after earnings which I think is a great opportunity to jump abroad. LONG SINA ReplyJacome

Thanks, User242720!! ReplyJohnson & Johnson Profit-Taking Likely, Offering Better Entry Point [view article]
Good analysis. JNJ has many characteristics common with both health care stocks and consumer staples stocks like PG and PEP. The recent runup and 52 week high coincides with runups for both of these categories and is not specific to JNJ alone.The bullish argument for JNJ is that even at the current price of 71, it is a pretty good value. The bearish argument is that growth is not what it used to be as the company has gotten larger. It would take quite a catalyst to give JNJ any kind of significant boost.
Most likely JNJ's stock price will grow at the same rate as it's EPS over the next 5 years unless something unusual happens. With the uncertainities for both the markets and economy, JNJ represents a safe have that should provide stability to a portfolio. Reply

Bizonly, thanks for the outlook on fast-food. I don't like the industry for personal reasons but it intrigued me how it would stay steady. Your explanation clears that up. Replyuba

multiple streams of income is the best way to get rich(cause getting rich seems to be the theme here) so , want to get rich? ) do it this way. take a comfortable amount of cash(something you won't be too hurt by if you lose it) invest in a few select stocks(ones you have done your homework on and feel comfortable in investing in) then take another amount of money, investing in real estate, then keep your job cause this is known as multiple streams of income. now, making a little in stock s , and a little in real estate, and earning a weekly pay check,by retirement, if you've done your homework, you should maybe be able to retire a little ahead of time(with enough cash to live comfortably and do some travel if this is your wish) go golfing if again this is your wish. you may be rich or you may be just comfortable ,but at least you won't retire wondering how your gonna afford that next can of cat food for dinner . but do yourself a favor and research research research before investing, this is they only way to be certain you've chosen the right stock purchase or the right real estate purchase ,so you won't go broke.plain and simple. there are no short cuts to riches. there are no magic bullets to riches, and no one in his right mind will just walk up one day and hand you millions , so do it right and you won't have to worry about market ups and downs. warren buffet never worries what direction the market is heading , he is still out there today (in one of the rockiest markets in 30 years) and still buying stocks and companies left and right. market direction does not matter, only thing that matters is the company you chose to buy into . right now you have an amazing thing happening . a recession going on and a bear market. why is that such a wonderful thing? well how about looking at the companies who are offering up market beating earnings reports right now. those are the solid companies the ones you can bet on to last . if we are half way through this recession and you see a company still making record profits, this has to tell you a great deal about not just the company its self, but the management who runs this company as well.they know what their doing to manage to make money in this rising inflation environment and stagnant economy.thats all you need to know, thats all you need to ask yourself right now. who is making money and who is not making money . then do a bit of research on those making the money . then buy the best of the best , hold on and wait to make your profits. bam , the recession is your friend weather you realize it or not.

Nice article ReplyJacome

Thank you for your comment -- we do not disagree that JNJ is a solid company with a cash flow spigot that could easily be used to reduce int exp, and thus free up more earnings power. However, we simply wanted to note -- or suggest, better -- that investors may be jumping aggressively into JNJ because of short term uncertainties with the market as a whole. This will likely continue (PMs pushing their analysts to focus on more stable cash flow companies, more recession proof names), but in the long term, which the Street's risk appetite improves, JNJ will see a pullback. Whether that is next quarter (unlikely) or in 2009 (likelier), no one knows.Put in a larger perspective: JNJ has outperformed the Dow over the last 30 years. It has approximately moved in tandem with the DJIA over the last 5Y. Over the last 2Y, it has underperformed the Dow. In the last 3 quarters roughly, JNJ has outperformed the Dow by a wide extent (we use 07 as a marker of "credit crisis begins")...
All we wanted to "throw out there" is that those holding onto JNJ may want to look at their holdings a tad closer and determine if JNJ's run up is fully warranted by its fundamentals. Clearly, our work is the first tiny step (a sprinkle of evidence) in a much larger JNJ project, which may or may not ultimately corroborate what we we found. Reply

The question is...What better price? Just because what happened in the past doesn't necessarily mean the future is foretold. Energy is dead, for now, financials are stable but unsure and tech is a wash. You got anywhere else that's this safe? I didn't think so.You could argue that for the last 5 years everyone was on the oil bandwagon or "short" run that JNJ wasn't on anyone's screen. JNJ is probably the best run company in the entire market. The cash flow is HALF of their outstanding debt and if they use just a bit of that to rid itself of that overhang, what little it is, then the stock will be another 10% higher from these highs. Nope...your argument is off base and this is where the price should be. Reply

Thanks for the question, 174242. I wanted to show the results without and without the worst performer, to eliminate a Single Companies operational issues from throwing off an entire sector's results. The other way that I could have done it was to use many more examples per sector (perhaps as many as 10), but that would have made the article too long. A good example is Wendy's which moved the entire sector down several spots on the chart.The results at the bottom DO include the worst performer....
Cheers
