Even though I would rather see a company reinvest dividends because if I am investing in them I have to believe they can make more money with the dividend than I can. Having said that, Abbot has had increasing dividends for over 10 years. This shows… More

Defensive pick. I actually think earnings will be just about even or bit below the S&P 500 avg. However, Abbott is a stalwart amongst stable dividend paying blue-chips and and the above avg (in comparison to the index), yet sustainable yield makes this a low-risk proposition for moderate out-performance.

This is a great drug company! Pays an excellent dividend quarterly ( # Div/yield 0.40/2.93 ) Right now this is under performing. However, by the end of year you will see good numbers for this company. So long as the Obama healthcare plan dies!
