Sold the last of my PRX for 214% gain. Recently bought JNJ; a few days later I was a volunteer instructor at a NAIC investor fair and sat through a presentation by 3 directors of 3 SSGs. The moderator asked for a show of hands which one was the most attractive. JNJ won.

I took a starter position in JNJ at $48.99. Reasons: think most of the bad news is priced in; 1.96% yield with steady history of rising dividends; payout ratio of 40%; declining debt since 1999, now very low; rising net profit margins since 1998; history of EPS growth; recently saw a Stock Selection Guide (NAIC) with conservative estimates, and it was a "buy;" ugly chart but think there is some support around $48-$49.

Company: JNJ
