During this volatile market we can see a lot of stocks being driven by the market up and down. Many with no particular reason or based on short term look. Recently I was reviewing Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) because it was running up and down and today it again loses ground quite a lot. As a dividend investor I am trying to ignore these days and stick with the stock, hold it and if I can get some money buy more. But I need an assurance that I am holding the right stock. So I checked the overall picture of this stock and its chart with splits and I could see steady growth in value. Combined with roughly 45 years of growing dividend I do not see an issue to hold this stock.
