IF GOLD ISN'T AN INVESTMENT, WHAT IS? by Brian Hunt, Daily Wealth

A question in response to last week's "gold isn't really an actual investment" piece: "OK, smart mouth... What is a good investment these days?"

We'll cheat a little on this answer. We'll borrow an idea from the legendary Warren Buffett. The guy just loves today's idea. And as you can see from the chart, the market agrees...

Today's chart displays the past 15 years in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). A great investor loves a business with fat profit margins and strong brand names. He also loves a business that customers will come back to over and over. With "forever" brands like Listerine, Tylenol, BAND-AID, Ben-Gay, and Visine, it's a good bet JNJ's products will be in demand 20 years from now... and that's why Buffett is a large stakeholder in the company.

And for you chart watchers, JNJ sports one of the greatest uptrends in the history of capitalism. Unassailable brands, steady growth, and a stubborn tendency to move toward the upper-right of the chart. Now this, folks, is what you call an investment.

July 2 (Bloomberg) -- Johnson & Johnson agreed to develop Elan Corp.’s medicines against Alzheimer’s disease and pay $1 billion for an 18.4 percent stake in the Irish drugmaker.

J&J of New Brunswick, New Jersey, plans to create a new company to hold the drugs that Elan and partner Wyeth were developing against the degenerative disease, the companies said in a joint statement today. Elan surged as much as 40 percent in Dublin trading following the announcement.

J&J pledged an initial $500 million to pay for Elan’s share of the development costs for Alzheimer’s products, including an intravenous drug that may slow the disease’s progression and a vaccine for the condition. In return, Elan will get 49.9 percent of the newly formed company, according to the statement.

The deal with Elan gives J&J “access to a late-stage, first-in-class drug that has the potential to delay disease progression for Alzheimer’s patients,” company spokesman Srikant Ramaswami said today in a telephone interview. “Johnson & Johnson has a broad neuroscience pipeline. This is building on that portfolio.”

Sometimes i find drug companies ironical. They are created to serve a need. To make money for shareholders. But Drugs are suppose to save life and patent prevents affordable medicine from being assessible.

20 years is created to shield coy's profit, but can a dying wait 20 years?
Drug creation is a step for human kind, but patent do not serve its needful purpose from "saving life" point of view.
But if there is no profit, will there be inventions to fund and motivate research? back to square one, even worst...

look at it this way....

there arent sufficient altruistically inclined bio-scientists around us who are willing to live off hand outs or chicken rice everyday, and research on finding cures...

most people, by nature, are motivated by material wealth...and to be able to attract the brightest minds into this area of research and development, the dangled carrots have to match up with their expectations...

now in order to afford these bright minds, businesses must have the money to employ their services...and businesses again are always altruistic...profit is the bottomline objective... therefore, it is inevitable that money drives r&d and results drive revenue...and where costs are concerned, of cos, consumers pay for them...

now..if we want to move away from this profit oriented model, there can be 2 ways, i can think of :

a) a very wealthy individual or a group of them, donate a substantial sum enough to sustain meaningful r&d... perhaps by setting up a trust fund that generates income to allow it to exist for a long time...eg, Nobel Peace Prize model

b) global leaders set up a universal r&d, like they do with IMF, UN Security Council.... every country donate a sum of money that goes into medical r&d. the resulting products will be offered to the world at an affordable cost... but you and i know who will lobby against this move....Pfizer, Novartiz, MSD, etc... in other words, political hurdles will prevent this concept from taking shape...

any other methods???

come to think of it, i have the same thinking as you on the 2 suggestion... i also ponder for awhile...

Both i think is not feasible. Point A attempts to break into the their rice bowl... They won't allow it.

Point B takes alot of collective political will.... :(

I bought JNJ during the last Healthcare reform under Hilary Clinton. If only I have hold on to it :(


ONE OF THE GREATEST UPTRENDS IN HISTORY

Today's chart displays one of the best investment "systems" you'll ever find.

Before we reveal the system, remember: many things the average investor believes are investments are not investments at all.

A home is not an investment. It is a consumer item. Gold is not an investment. It is money... a store of wealth. Stock in a gold-mining company is not an investment. It is a speculation. Now here's the system...

Health care giant Johnson & Johnson has all kinds of attributes the rich investor demands from an investment. The company owns a suite of world-class brand names, like Listerine, Band-Aid, Neutrogena, Splenda, Rogaine, and Tylenol. It earns high profit margins. It sports a bulletproof balance sheet. And its dividend payout ranks second in consistency to the rising sun. The rich investor, after all, demands you pay him for the privilege of using his money.

Below is the past 15 years of trading in J&J. It's one of the greatest uptrends in stock market history. This uptrend is only interrupted by major weakness in the broader market (2000, 2002, 2008). If you had bought after each of these market selloffs, you'd have made immediate short-term gains... and then participated in the long-term uptrend. Put another way, this system, just like our "trophy asset" strategy, says when a world-class investment goes on sale because of widespread public fear, buy as much as you can.
