That sounds logical wiseguy

Thanks!

I wasn't whining about what the price might have been.
If you went back & read it over, you'd see I was simply stating that I knew the price would be considerably higher than it was a year or two ago.

BTW, They do sell 10 piece 'meals' with potatoes, coleslaw & biscuits.
But for some insane reason, they only offer drumsticks & thighs with a 10 piece

Unless there was a shortage of chicken that day, how hard would it have been to grab a 10 piece bucket, put 10 pieces (original recipe, white & dark meat) in it & sell it to me ?

I would have paid up to 20$
That's bad business no matter how you slice it.

If I wasn't a (long term) shareholder, I wouldn't give a ****

Sentiment: Hold

So you're saying you would have accepted a 12-piece bucket with only 10 pieces in it for the price of a 12-piece bucket?

Let me explain this in such a way, that even someone with a severely limited mental capacity (such as yourself) might understand it.

I wanted a 10 piece bucket of chicken. That's all. No More, no less
COMPRENDE ?

With a stock like this, when I want to add shares, I just put in a bid well below the asking price. Sometimes it takes a day or 2, sometimes longer, but the order almost always fills.

I also use 'simple' technical analysis & add when I think it's oversold.
I'm in this strictly for the dividend.

Because it's a low volume stock.

I'm not going to sell, but I'll be looking at writing covered calls later today

The fact that it took 15 years is almost as bad as the crime itself

Your timing was impeccable

Richard:
It's obvious that no matter what any of us say, you think this stock is extremely overvalued.

Go short

Agree jnj is overbought, but what r u gonna do ?
Sell & put the money in fidelity cash reserves at 0.01%
That's 1 hundredth of 1 percent people.
Thanks a lot bernanke, u #$%$!

All I'll do is take the next dividend in cash if JNJ is still overbought

There's already 2.8 BILLION SHARES OF JNJ
Why would anyone want 5.6 billion ?
Splits mean nothing!

Ok, I checked it out. You are correct, lots of insider selling.
It's called 'taking profits'

Could this mean 'they' believe the stock is overvalued ?
Absolutely

Does that mean we should all sell, or maybe even short it ?
I don't have a crystal ball, so I don't have an answer.

If this is a huge concern for you, I recommend one of the following 3

1- Write covered calls on your shares

2- Sell all your shares

3- Short the stock outright (if you have a margin account)

Maybe, then again maybe not

Retired Exelon CEO Rowe Received $23.5 Million in Pay, Perks

By Julie Johnsson - Mar 14, 2013 3:40 PM CT

Exelon Corp. (EXC) paid retired Chief Executive Officer John Rowe $23.5 million for working less than three months in 2012 and completing the power company’s $7.3 billion takeover of Constellation Energy Group Inc.
Rowe doubled his 2011 compensation after retiring on March 12, 2012, three days after the acquisition closed, Chicago-based Exelon said in a filing today.

Rowe’s benefits included a $9 million pension payout, $4.5 million in stock, $4 million in payments related to the Constellation deal and $2.8 million for income taxes.

Christopher Crane, his successor as Exelon’s CEO, received $10.2 million last year, an 83 percent increase from 2011. Mayo Shattuck III, the former Constellation chief executive who succeeded Rowe as chairman of Exelon’s board, received $8 million, according to the regulatory filing.

It was $2.06 a share the day you posted this.
Today it's .44 cents
Hope you didn't buy

"EXC will be posting big profits"
That would sure be a nice change!

Fidelity shows the same.
Could it have been a pre-market trade ?
