Even after its pullback it is trading well above normal valuation levels. This can be seen across many of the "safe" consumer staples that had been bid up in the chase for yield, like MO, RAI, GIS, KMB, CLX, etc.
My guess is its simply a case of a rotation from the safe sectors into some of the beaten down ones like energy and industrials.
I think I agree with you. No specific news seems to be driving the decline, and I guess I didn't realize it's PE was so high. Thanks!

I'm looking at opening positions on LOW and SHW by EOD.

RTN down 3.5% at the moment after what seemed to be a pretty decent quarterly report. At least I didn't see anything super alarming there, though I guess you don't need much when the stock is trading around all time highs.
It's already my biggest holding so I don't think I'll be adding at these prices, however it might be worth a look for some of you.

RTN is back to where it was before the spike last week. Got a bit ahead of itself. I own BA and LMT. Not sure I can add this one as well lol unless it hits $130 or so. Too many good buys right now in the market and you cant buy them all lol

KO has quietly been trending down for the last six months, going from ove $46 to $41. If it hits $40, I'd imagine that a lot of people would be interested.
DEO crashed from $118 to $100 very quickly in just the past few weeks.

I got my eye on MDT and LLY. Both quality names that are getting hammered. I'm not pulling trigger yet but will watch next week to purchase.

General Mills (GIS) at a 52 week low, $57.50. Just thinking about it here, but it's price action looks ugly. Great margins, but declining revenues.

GIS is interesting but why not just buy T or VZ? Seems like a safer investment. GIS if you look at a 5 year chart was nothing more then a dividend play with no growth and traded in a tight range of $54-$56 until 2016 before it broke out. So it's probably where it should be on a valuation level now. Retail stocks like TGT and LB seem like good value plays near 52 weeks lows but retail scares me.

Retail/brick and mortar definitely scare me. I've owned T for a long time, but have never gotten into VZ. I'll take a look.

SJM at 52-week low. Also, GE very low. Thinking about adding to these two, both of which I've owned for many years.
Might sell some AXP and DE to fund these purchases, as both are relatively high.
Looking at XOM, WSM, both are trading very low.

WSM looks good at these levels. I have followed this stock for a very long time. Amazon will have no affect on this company. It's been sold off with the rest of all the retail stocks. They beat estimates and raised them. So they should be in better shape then most going forward.
