The Coca-Cola Company (KO), Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (ISRG): The “World’s Greatest Retirement Portfolio” Continues to Outperform

The total return from my investments in The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) also increased markedly during March. Part of this was due to the fact that Coke issued its quarterly dividend during the month — which is one of the reasons I invested in the company.

Johnson & Johnson’s stock, on the other hand, was able to sidestep an FDA denial for its blood-thinner, Xarelto, to set all-time highs during March. That’s what you can expect from a company as diverse in its health care offerings as Johnson & Johnson. It also probably didn’t hurt when the company received approval for Invokana, its type 2 diabetes drug.
