I was a bit hasty in my decision to pick up shares of dividend growth stalwart, Johnson & Johnson, but took advantage of a sell off in Baxter International that saw shares close down around 6%. When I see moves like that in what should be fairly stable companies I get intrigued and start scouring the internet to see if there is some explanation for the decline like a huge recall or some government regulation that was just enacted. The only thing I could really find were that analysts at JP Morgan had downgraded Baxter. For a long term investor, this is just noise and represents a buying opportunity.
