After flirting with $150 earlier this week the stock is trading near $130 due to:

CNBC

quote:

Johnson & Johnson shares plunge 11% after a Reuters report said J&J knew for decades about asbestos in baby powder.

It says that from 1971 to the early 2000s, J&J executives, mine managers, doctors and lawyers were aware the company's raw talc and finished powders sometimes tested positive for small amounts of asbestos.

They are a 400 billion dollar company. Probably a good buying opportunity. They'll survive any lawsuits.

I'm surprised it took the market this long to react to that news (if it actually is). It's been out for months.

I am thinking the same thing. Probably a good flip trade. I thought hard about buying into PCG when the news dropped about their transmission equipment possibly causing the Camp Fire in California. It dropped 30% and then bounced back by 50% ($6/share).

I am having the same feeling about JNJ. People are scattering and will turn right back around and buy it back when they realize this is going to be a protracted court battle.

You already would have made 4-5% from the lows of today

Bought my one share at $127.59

Timed the bottom no doubt. I'll be rich in 35 years!
