Good point Paul for ABT vs LLY.

Covidien plc. Ordinary Shares ((NYSE: COV )

I went for COV for a medical devise company. The COV dividend is much smaller than what ABT pays.

I do want to add some other pharmaceutical companies. My favorite is Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK). I would like to add more at any price below $30.00/share. My last buys in MRK were $27.00 and $29.00 in 4th Qtr 2008 and 2nd Qtr 2009 respectively.

If MRK ever gets back down below $30.00/share, their dividend should yield over 5%.

FWIW - ULTR may see $7.00/share today. It's been a long hold for me but I am going to like the road back to $15.00/share especially after loading up last year in the $2.50/share area. Been looking to add to Fibria Celulose SA (FBR) (the re-emerged ARACRUZ CELULSE ADR NEWF (M) (ARA)- Brazilian Wood fiber producer). These two companies (FBR & ULTR) should be good South America emerging market plays. finance.yahoo.com
