Russia waging war on Ukraine has roiled the stock market, and it especially has affected companies that have exposure to the region. Sure, there have been been a few pockets of green since the aggression began a couple weeks ago, such as our holdings in the weapons-making industry — Northrop Grumman (NOC), Lockheed Martin (LMT) and General Dynamics (GD). I didn’t want to buy more stocks that have had big price run-ups, however, so I asked myself: When the world looks like it’s going to h-e-double-hockey-sticks, where do folks turn? And, continuing my conversation with myself (because nobody else listens to my nonsense), I answered: They often go to products that please them – many of which, let’s face it, aren’t good for them. I’m talking about stuff like nicotine and caffeine and fatty foods and booze. And so, on March 7, I divided the $1,000 semi-monthly allocation from this site’s co-founder, Greg Patrick, between four of the IBP’s “sinful comfort stocks” — Philip Morris International (PM), Starbucks (SBUX), McDonald’s (MCD) and Constellation Brands (STZ). Even though the four have only a little exposure (relative to their overall balance sheets) to Russia and/or eastern Europe, each has seen investors dump shares en masse. That, combined with general market jitters due to inflation, interest rates and other macro factors, has led to some pretty big price drops in recent weeks. We can’t yet know what the final result of the fighting will be, nor can we know how it ultimately will impact the bottom lines of companies like Philip Morris, Starbucks, McDonald’s and Constellation. But let’s remember that Dividend Growth Investing is a long-term strategy that rewards shareholders of high-quality, proven companies over time. A year or three or five from now, I doubt we will have regretted these small, add-on buys to our PM, SBUX, MCD and STZ positions. Check out the video for the full details.
