Johnson & Johnson vs 3M

I have been waiting and waiting for JNJ to drop but its really dissapointing seeing such a steady stock..on the other hand is 3M who is JNJ's competitor in similiar fields..just wondering what anyones thoughts were about their preference and which one they would buy...3M is almost at his 52 week low

I waited months for GE to drop to a decent level. I would do the same with JNJ. To close to her 52 week high. She pays a decent dividend and plays options. Two big pluses for a stock I buy. Wait till the yield rises to 5+% or stock floats around 61-65.
