BUY	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) March 21, 2019 A hundred year ago they started making syringes and needles. All the consumables in hospitals they make. They are very big in the category so they have pricing power. Dividend is rising at 10% clip. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	A hundred year ago they started making syringes and needles. All the consumables in hospitals they make.

DON'T BUY	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) January 31, 2019 They made a huge acquisition a few years ago and took on debt. They are OK financially but they overpaid for the company. He prefers other areas in the Health Care space. It is a big question mark how they integrate this company. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	They made a huge acquisition a few years ago and took on debt.

HOLD	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) January 17, 2019 Has been around for 100 years. Valuation is 15x earnings for 2021. Stock jumped today. Big free cash flow company. Made an acquisition of Bard, another free cash flow giant, so they're paying down debt quickly. So they'll have cash to make acquisitions or grow dividend. In comparing retail to medical devices, he'd always pick the medical device company. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Has been around for 100 years.

TOP PICK	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) January 17, 2019 The oldest manufacturer of syringes and other medical devices. There is good growth in emerging countries. They will pay down debt and have attractive dividend growth.

HOLD	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) January 7, 2019 Has owned for a while. One of the more defensive companies you can own. Medical things you can only use once. Sells a suite of products and software to hospitals. Lots of EM opportunities. Still has to pay down debt from an acquisition, but but in 12-18 months should be ready for another. Good place to be with aging demographics, especially in US. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Has owned for a while. One of the more defensive companies you can own.

WATCH	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) December 3, 2018 Merely an okay last quarter with cost increases and more debt after an acquisition. Resin cost inputs are worth watching. Trades at 18x earnings.

PAST TOP PICK	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) November 12, 2018 (A Top Pick Nov 07/17, Up 10%) Their big thing is drug delivery equipment. They have a lot of things going for them. They had a messy quarter. It is why he prefers to use ETFs for this. It was not a small pull back for them. The acquisition gives them some synergy on costs. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	(A Top Pick Nov 07/17, Up 10%) Their big thing is drug delivery equipment.

TOP PICK	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) November 2, 2018 They make medical devides (syringes, blood test equipment). After last year's acqusition, there are two cash-flow companies here which excites him. He's owned this for a decade. 1.3% dividend. 10% dividend and price growth.

PAST TOP PICK	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) October 31, 2018 (A Top Pick Aug 29/18, Up 18%) They do healthcare--hospitals, clinics--as an end-to-end service provider. They give hospital admin the software and provide all the products you'd need, like catheters or surgical equipment. Really they have no competition. Their customers stay loyal. They made a recent acquisition that gives them more international exposure. It doesn't have as much regulatory risk as other healthcare or pharma companies. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	(A Top Pick Aug 29/18, Up 18%) They do healthcare--hospitals, clinics--as an end-to-end service provider.

BUY	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) April 23, 2018 U.S. healthcare in the short-term? He prefers individual stocks over ETFs, starting with Becton Dickinson (and Zimmer Biomet, ZBH-N). In this sector, he prefers medical devices, not drugs which are easy to copy. Becton is a long-term opportunity and a play on demographics. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	U.S. healthcare in the short-term?

PARTIAL BUY	Becton Dickinson(BDX-N) February 21, 2018 He sees this as a good company, but not in his top 25. Healthcare technology has been very profitable and medical consumables is a niche area. There is good opportunity to grow through value add like prefilled syringes. He sees them as a high quality, low cost provider. biotechnology/pharmaceutical 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	He sees this as a good company, but not in his top 25.
