They are both in the same business.
About 5% of my total is in JNJ. JNJ makes a lot of household products that will always be in demand. Big, stable company. They have a 51 year record of increasing their dividend, and pay every quarter. They pay out close to half their earnings to the stockholders. Buy in the next few days if you want the dividend. If your account has the option (I think all do, I could be wrong) make sure to check the option for re-investing the dividends. This way the dividend pays you in company stock instead of cash.

About 2% of my total is in PG. PG is pretty much the same as JNJ. They have a 57 year record of increasing their dividend, and pay every quarter. You are already past the Ex date on PG, so you will not get the 11/17 payout if you buy now. Their dividend is slightly higher than JNJ at the moment and they pay out a slightly higher ratio to the stockholder.

If you are buying three not sure I would do two in the same group, but these two are rock solid so no surprises either way. Thoughts Mr. Weld?
