David Driscoll Sigma Aldrich Corp. SIAL-Q PAST TOP PICK Nov 29, 2010

Specialty chemical maker. When scientists squirt a solution into a test tube or petri dish, this company makes money. Grow cash flow very well. Dividend just went up about 11%.

Specialty chemical maker. Has been fairly recession proof. Revenues, Profits and Dividend continue to rise. 55% of revenues are outside of US. Very little debt. Wonderfully stable business because very time a scientist squirts something into a petri dish, stock makes money. Has been building a base for 3-6 months so he thinks there may be some breakout here. It may take a couple of years.
