No particular order. Just information on well known companies that are having a bad year. Now if we did three months the list would be all tech, but I chose to go back to 2 January.

5.05% dividend yield

-33% ytd
4.93% yield

WDC - Western Digital
-45% ytd

FCX - Freeport-McMoran
-41% ytd
1.79% yield

T - At&t
-21% ytd
6.55% yield

HAL - Halliburton
-39% ytd
2.42% yield

F - Ford
-27% ytd
6.65% yield

BLK - Blackrock
-22% ytd
3.13% yield

MO - Altria
-24% ytd
5.88% yield

GT - Goodyear Tire
-30% ytd

T, MO, BLK all will be fine and are busy right now for me.

The consumer staples like KHC TAP BUD and GIS need to pivot to meet changing consumer tastes. Could be a good bottom but they could also not execute and keep declining in revenues.

Or mine, I picked SLB. WHR after tariffs are sorted could come back, but if housing market turns south any further that’s a headwind. Has a good dividend yield right now.

bought a small position of MO at 54.50 today. Seems like they are realigning for the future right now; getting into cannabis and vaping. Maybe a little late, but we will see.

I own a little BUD and I’m not sure how it competes with craft breweries unless the fad ends, but I don’t see that happening any time soon.

In addition, will weed eventually cause beer consumption to decrease?

I thought this pick would either go high or crash and burn. Naturally it crashed and burned on me.

Is GE a buy yet? I know they slashed their dividends recently. How low can they go?

I think internationally is where they’re making gains so if that continues then maybe they’ll be ok.

Lol I own most of the companies in the OP.

Only one I’m actually worried about is GE
