It has been too beaten up. We are all getting older so we need these guys.

they did the right thing, accepting the UNH bid would have been a bigger burden than if they just let it go...their competitor will be drained by UNH and is trading at a premium to the DGX

Baby boomer population is getting old and I expect the lab testing to increase in the future (with Quest being the top dog)...I bought this in early Oct 2006 when there was a major drop in price (over 10%) with the news of the loss of the UnitedHealthcare contract. Hoping I bought low and will reap the benefits.

DGX has a trailing PE of 22.3. That is a little higher than its average PE over the past year but not outrageous. It pays a dividend of 40 cents. It is the largest company of its type so it has economies of scale. It is in a relatively "safe" medical industry. People need to be tested for certain medical situations. With people living longer and the baby boomers getting older, this company should continue to do well for at least 5 years. It will probably do will for 10 plus years.
