re: JNJ
I would think a small %, 2-5%, of your 2-5-10 year hold account would be just fine

JNJ is like many others that are "real, safe, solid core US companies"
those trade at a P/E of 16-24, pay a 2% dividend
but the stock price basically seems to sit
you might include GE, PG etc in that group
that is what I find interesting about MMM
is has the same characteristics but the stock keeps going to new highs

but for the above, unless one picks very well, you might do just as well in a S+P index fund over time
