JNJ down today. I'll average up on my few shares with a small buy now.

Forward p/e - if earnings estimates are anywhere near right- of 13-14x is too low for JNJ. JNJ- a premier company with high profit margins, great history, 2.6% div. yield. It "deserves" better than its current price -g-.

One of these times and one of these companies where it seems - to me - a person very well could be better off with JNJ and its dividend than holding treasuries.

Of course, stocks of good companies can get cheaper and stay that way.

WLP SNY - bought a little more WLP this morning at around 73$. Is this the Obama/Hillary gambit? The last time I heard Obama does not want to get rid of private insurance.

WLP valuation and recession proof business look very tempting in the current situation, IMO.

SNY had excellent earnings. Revenue growth was in the low single digits but cost cut's in SG&A generated a 13% earnings jump. the dividend is going to take a nice jump too. Well done!

CAH down today. I am doubling up now on my small exploratory position. (Still just a few shares for me though)

Positive comments couple days ago from Goldman:

Relatively inexpensive based on p/sales, p/e. Expensive though imo if focus is ROE. As regards management, there are many reports of how extremely competent CEO Walter has been in building the company over the past 25 or more years.
