Summer Doldrums in April? Consider J&J, Rite Aid
I thought I’d shake things up this week and talk about a few trades I’m in. Before I get to those, however, a quick look at the market. And I say “quick” because that’s about all it warrants. That is, instead of dropping further – my (wrong) prediction – the Dow has moved back up and continued its sideways move. In other words, the summer doldrums may already be upon us!
As for my trades, many of you know I like to buy stocks I use. One, I think everyone uses is Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). It plowed down recently, I bought, and now I’m hoping for a rebound. (But, I’m prepared to buy more if it goes lower…)
Another stock I recently bought is my local pharmacy, Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD). Interesting in that it’s generally not a well-liked stock, but I do just fine with it, both in real-life and in the market.
Okay, that’s all for now. I’m off next week, but back in May!
