Why I trade KO (Coca-Cola)

in #trading8 years ago

After I wrote this I realized it sounds like one of those terrible facebook articles, "Ten reasons I love eating chips" crap, I apologize this was not my intention. I love KO, it’s actually one of my favorite stocks to trade. In all seriousness though, there is no reason to not have KO in your portfolio. I've got a pretty hefty account and KO is one of my main staples. If you have a smaller account KO can be a great opportunity due to the low margin required. Consider it and feel free to ask me any questions.

This month (April) I’m already up around $5455, not including commissions. With two weeks to go I don’t see why it can’t be an $8000 month just from KO.

Consider these:

KO has a great dividend! 3% yield per share! That’s killer and because of that I always try to be long shares when dividend dates are coming up!

Historically, KO bounces really well off of my Keltner Channels. This has made the last few years trading KO very profitable.

Those bounces are gold mines...

It’s a very slow moving stock. Seriously, it's really slow. You will never have to stress trading it and walking away from the screen for a short time is never been a problem. In contrast to when you trade Amazon or Netflix and you end up wetting yourself all week.

You can count on one hand how often KO has moved more than 5% in a week. So it can be quite predictable.

It is a solid company that reports good earnings often, and it has one hell of an economic moat. You'd be surprised how many drinks KO owns now.
