Buy it now check back in 5 years is my rational with this one. I doubt Coke will go the way of Kodak.

Exactly my point...

Yeah there may have been a couple best / perfect entry points - but tell me in the future when those are going to be?

These stocks -- and for LONG TERM INVESTING -- you buy and start to collect the dividend. The earlier you buy - the more dividends you collect.

Either way - the day or week - or month after you buy - the stock will suck... and then you look at it and the SOB is up and you've gotten paid the whole time.

This is why I own MCD - KO - ED - JNJ - KMB. They're not sexy... but they keep me sleeping well and they pay me - and I check on them and damn if they're not gainers too (most of the time).
