So much to like about this company.

1) Great brand name, with strong earnings and cash flow
2) Still gets most of its revenue from japan, so it is safe from the decline of the US dollar
3) Solid (and fast growing!) dividend with a 2%+ yield.

Earnings estimate for 2010? Try $5.29! Which means you get this premium brand name, highly profitable, 13% growing company for all of 9 times earnings?

Say yes to the duck and load up!

A well managed company with a great track record with plenty of room for continued growth and still recovering from a brutal punishment in early 2009.

Health care dollar flood. Maybe devalued dollars, but still a flood.
