Comparison of Covered Call versus Covered Calls with Bull Put Spreads.....two quality stocks that I was bullish on and comparing the results after over 300 days. With ABT we added BuPS to the strategy. With LNC we only used Covered Calls. BuPS have the potential to offset losses on the short calls.

I just took a fat loss on my uvix I can’t take anymore -4% days lmao I’ll just stick with my winners like NFLU and ABT!
CBRE🟢 WFC 🟢 RSG🟢 ABT 🟢 CTAS🟢 IR🟢 MDT🟢 SSNC🟢. Munch munch munch 🦧🍿
2 earnings plays expiring within days of the reports is basically binary gambling, which you clearly know.NKE has the safer setup since even Goldman's bear case clears your breakeven. ABT needs a bigger move but insider buying at $107 is hard to ignore. I sized into a similar NKE catalyst trade on markets xyz when I wanted weekend fills before the June 30 date
COST and ABT are my main defensive plays. Also hold a bit of D (Dominion Energy) thinking it will eventually converge to the merger valuation from the NextEra deal - big risk there is that the merger doesn't get approved.
Because you have a market where anything with a narrative goes up every day. People have tried to pump PYPL on here for the last 3 years - "it's cheap", "but the buyback" - if there's not a narrative nobody cares and if someone talks about something without a narrative being "cheap" it has to be much cheaper than before to get any interest. Boring ABT down 30% YTD, obliterated with much of the rest of medtech.
Defense like ABT and NOC. Market is way too hot right now. Still doing weekly buys of VTI though.
ABT is really interesting here as a long term safer play
Thanks to whoever recommended ABT. Just sold 60% of my calls at 60%+ gain.
ABT is the only green I have today
What would you consider ABT? I work in the industry and woo boy has my thesis been in a constant state of being challenged....
I just finished an analysis of ABT. I've been DCAing into this company since Jan. **The Good:** Solid FCF/Share price (\~$4.24/share) **Dividend Yield: 3%** **Should do buy-backs this year: \~0.75%** **Organic Growth: \~11.5%** **Forward PE: \~14** This is REALLY compressed! ... This should not drop below \~13 and could easily go up to \~19-20. Total Shareholder Return: **4% to 55%** ... worse case, it performs similar to a CD. **The GREAT** Solid Insider Purchases: Director 10k shares @$92.35 CFO 2.2K shares @$91.50 Director 10K shares @$108.73 CEO 18.8k shares @$107.13 **The IFFY** Higher debt (but reasonable) due to the Exact Sciences purchase. This is a solid value play for a 3-5 year investment horizon.
The issue I have across the board is that medtech is as out of favor as software. You mention Resmed, but look at the YTD for ABT, MDT, SYK, ISRG, BSX, etc. Given that, if earnings aren't great then people are selling. Cheap has to be cheaper than before in this market if something doesn't have an appealing narrative around it and/or has some degree of various headwinds.

What do you guys think on ABT?
How did you know to get in early on HUT. Also seeing a possible play on ABT which is low right now
Hell yeah, I am not too much of a buy and hold guy but I made the mistake of getting out of some big stocks too early trying to time the market and being a fearful investor which comes with a lot of regrets along with a lot of wins. I am trying to accept a little loss and being able to hold onto stuff longer as the best investors “forget about there investments”.I do think it will hit 140 again but it will take years but that’s just my outlook. JNJ and Abbvie have killed for me and I’m glad I got them, ABT is 22% of my taxable investment account(I have 3 other accounts so it’s not a huge chunk of my portfolio all together) it’s the only loss in my whole portfolio so it’s scary lol I appreciate your response, what makes you think it won’t hit its 52 week high?
Diabetes care, healthcare technology. This sector is rather beat down lately, but the multiples are solid and should weather a down-turn nicely, plus good growth potential. ABT, DXCM, MDT, GEHC, NVO. Maybe BAX or possibly even PODD.
Buy distressed stocks with good fundamentals. BSX, ABT, INTU, NOW, CRM, IBM
I heard ABT is becoming a AI company
It seems like ABT has been a value trap based on what folks have said in the recent and not to recent past.
Id rather go back in time 3 months and buy ABT calls
People keep talking about software having a bad year, but medtech is having a pretty lousy year as well. It's just not just ABT - SYK, BSX, MEDT, ISRG, etc. The last ABT quarter wasn't very good but I think the issue becomes with something like this is that in this market, if something has issues, it gets sold and sold some more/cheap gets cheaper than before. This is a market where people are piling into anything with a narrative, anything that doesn't just doesn't have buyers.

Good to know I picked the one fuckin stock that doesnt do anything but lose money to put my Roth $ in (f u ABT)
I'm not sure if I'd call Abbott a hidden gem. It does pay out a dividend, but the yield is only around 2%, which is not all that attractive. Its CGM business is also facing increasing pressure from competitors worldwide. As another poster mentioned, the revenue and EPS have indeed been somewhat stagnant over the past years. If you look at [ABT's technicals table](https://www.stock-table.com/ticker/ABT/technicals?public_uuid=5a3de941-59e5-41e6-8c95-e78453ae9cf0), while most stocks have rebounded over the past 2 weeks, it's still weak with no signs of reversal.
And a loss is a loss. I danced the ABT dance my guy, they’re a good real life company but that lemon is squeezed dry
ABT under $100 and ISRG are two of the examples.
Trimmed a number of hot names that have basically went vertical since the end of March. Bought relatively boring stuff near 52 wk lows (ABT.) Having a good year, dialing risk down some.
At any given moment there are little boxes of shit just flying through the air all over this country. Calls on ABT.
Been buying MSFT & ABT pretty heavily at these levels
ABT immigrant here. Could you explain how Taiwan is isolated from other asian countries? I thought Taiwan's main exporters are China and Hong Kong?
agreed. wendy's is always either hit or miss. tried it for the first time a year ago in an airport and the nuggs were so good. LIKE SO GOOD TO THE POINT I THOUGHT ABT THEM FOR DAYS. went to a local location and it was god awful. it was cold, a little soggy. tried a diff location and it was a bit better.
Yes please, i traded the ABT 112 call last week, i follow your signals :)
Now imagine if that was mmol/L 🤑 ABT calls it is!
No. Looking in the technically oversold, maybe some interesting trades but not really seeing opportunities for things to add as long-term holdings. Some mildly interesting stuff that's technically oversold: ABT, SPGI, KKR, CEG (although the IPP theme hasn't been working well for a bit), TTWO, FICO, IOT, MORN, CHDN. Maybe a couple of others.
any thoughts on ABT today? i heard an add for their product on the radio. calls/shares?

No worries- with how often it happens on the various penny stock communities I don't blame you, I try not to P&D anything. I am interested in squeeze plays if I like the setup/potential but this wasn't that. I swing trade BTC adjacent stocks and jump in on catalysts momentum trades. Normally if I'm in a biotech it's because I like the trend line for it. CABA, RVPH, and FEMY are my favorites rn pennywise and I have PSTV and DRTS but with exception of FEMY I keep those positions to 1-2%. Have some other higher biotechs like CRMD and ABT (I like ABT for its relatively steady growth and think the exact acquisition is a good move as exact also had acquired genomic health in 2019. oncotype dx and cologuard are regularly used at Cleveland clinic and I could see ABTs global presence speeding growth/usage of these once they get regulatory approvals through)
I'd say ABT as defensive given a bit more need-based and history of outperforming in downturns. Staples have had a lousy last 5 years. MDLZ is one of the better ones, but feels like these names continue to work through taking too much price. Perhaps benefits if consolidation starts to occur in the industry after such a meh last half decade.
Cath lab tech here: penumbra is great, and all these medical device companies are filthy rich (see Stryker, ABT, MDT) and I am starting to stash my money in this sector, but this specific device, if not rendered useless, won’t be adopted until we have AI CV surgeons. Clots are bombed with meds and easily verified with fleuro in real time. No special caths needed. Penumbra is mostly known in the sector for their coils which plug aneurysms and such. X-ray tech is the only thing I see getting any AI integration in the lab, which is currently being tested in field. I think the one we have is made by abbot specifically, and is used in place of an ICE catheter which is basically an IV ultrasound. The quality is better, but that’s ab it. That being said, PEN along with all the other stocks I mentioned will be about as safe a position as Walmart, NVDA, etc. That is, if this vicious insurance premium spike doesn’t completely fuck hospital systems worldwide.
ABT - strong beat - devices solid, GLP1 under control, good organic
As an ABT owner last earnings was rough but it recovered. Wouldn’t be surprised if it had a bad time again, especially with market instability.
trumpRX ok who GAF TALK ABT CHINA.
ABT got me shitting my pants
MSFT is one of the three I've kept, WMT and ABT being the others. All the other US equities I sold off. I figure if AI is a bubble then MSFT will be ok if bruised. WMT because it's akin to a Giffen good. ABT because everyone and even pets are getting glucose monitors. I'm tempted to sell everything but gold but haven't done so yet.
ABT , Google and Microsoft Abt is really not something anyone would think twice about on Reddit, but in any 5 year period, it has consistently outperformed sp500 for decades. It has been on my watch list since I learned how to invest from day 1. Fortunate for me (and unfortunately for the stock ), I always have better targets than it and most of them did give me better returns.
60% ABT and 40% ABBV. Growth and sweet dividend hard to beat. Neither company is going anywhere.
Good Move I have long calls on both in what I call the ABT trade Anything but Tesla History Repeats itself Look at Intel vs AMD in the 90s til now
ABT is about to fill a gap to the upside if you're looking for a quickie.
ABT at open was the way.
$ABT looking nice at support 👀
We need an upside down rocket emoji for ABT 💩
They cut funding? Hospitals with lower funding can't order equipment they need for the future or anything they have in backlog. ABT sales men calls hospital: "hey wanna buy new equipment" Hospital Admin: "no Trump's bill fucked us" ABT sales me: *goes home and ropes*
Thoughts on ABT? I bought some shares over the last few days. Let's see how this works out for me.
You're talking about defensive and for health you're listing four biotechs - while I do like a couple of those they are absolutely not "defensive." Some of healthcare is defensive (ABBV/ABT, for example) but definitely not all of it.
Could have had 500% on ABT but took 25% instead
well when TF ARE THEY GONNA TALK ABT IT
Trumps made China look like the stable adult in the world room. Weird rooting for ABT anyone but Trump. Wonder how Bessent n that woman Karoline Leavitt in Washington will spin this. Why China just up n walked. No doubt she will as always, be straight with the American people. (It’s Joe Biden’s fault , duh)
I'm worried about my $ABT calls now. This company seemed solid through liberation day, but I'm not sure that guidance is going to be good especially with upcoming pharmaceutical tariffs. I'm also pretty sure they had to frontload a bunch of stuff from China, and they're not a distributor so it might have cut into their earnings.
Should I buy puts on ABT to cover my shares? They were really panicked over the Mexico/Canada tarriffs and I feel the uncertainty here is gonna make for a rough earnings call despite any other good news
Gold, CORT, PVH, ABT I don’t care for the hype stocks (Tesla,Apple)
He's gonna tariff Abbott Laboratories (ABT) because he thinks it's a Canadian company LMAO
My first investment was 100 shares of ABT in 1986/87 at a split adjust cost basis of \~$3.25. Second investment was 100 shares of MSFT at a split adjusted cost basis of \~$0.10 around the same time. I panic sold the day after Black Monday because I needed the money.
Pharma like ABT and ABBV up recently too…putting money in safe spots.
The pharma ones I have right now are ABT, AZN and LLY.
ABBV and ABT just like last time
No prob. Trash (RSG/WM/WCN) is another recession resistant (you're going to lose but probably lose less than a lot of stuff) sector. Everyone needs to have their trash picked up, but if you have a bad recession and commercial properties are empty/closing/etc that's less trash pickup, or if you have a 2020 and so much is closed. C-stores do okay in recessions; if you look at CASY that lost in 2008 but not that badly. Couche Tard in Canada is a quality, well-run company down a lot lately (although if you buy the US symbol that ends with an F - and F means foreign ordinary - you have to be careful as some brokers charge a lot to trade foreign ords.) MUSA wasn't public in 2008 but did okay (at least compared to a lot of other things) in 2020. Maybe DG/DLTR finally bounce back if there was a recession. ABT would be another example of quality medical co that has done very well in recessions (although is up a fair amount lately.)
ABT and ABBV sailing above all the waves. Sick people aren’t affected by tariffs.
ABT and ABBV rockin’ it! Tariffs do nothing to sick people!
Mango going to issue a fine to Abbott Laboratories (ABT) thinking it's a Canadian company LMAO
ABT and ABBV sitting just fine! Always gonna be sick people no matter what inflation and tariffs do.
Planning for 10 more years. 1/3 ABBV for div, 1/3 ABT and 1/3 in S&P 500 fund. No cash yet. Minimal amount in a Roth for eventual rollovers.

The answers are (based on past performance at least): WMT, ABT, SNPS, ACN, TMUS, NFLX, NEE. All outperformed S&P in both 2008 and 2020.
