Money and Finance
I really want to get more exposure to the healthcare industry as I currently only have Medtronic in my FI Portfolio. Late last month I looked at Baxter International (BAX) and really liked what I saw, but unfortunately I had no free capital so I couldn't purchase. I'm still hopeful that I'll get an opportunity later this month or sometime next month to pick up some shares. I also received a request to look at Stryker Corporation (SYK), so that's who we'll look at today. Stryker was trading around $71.28 per share on Monday, September 23rd, giving a current yield of 1.49%.
