ABT I walked by the old St. Jude complex, that ABT bought a couple of years ago, that is near me last Thursday and their parking lots were 90% full, except for the visitors lot. I made a quick count of over 500 cars parked there. I wondered if they were making ABT’s rapid point-of-care test for COVID-19 or whatever. They are not slowing down at that complex at any rate.

When one is quarantined, walking and counting cars is about one can do, lol.

I pared ABT position by 20% due to its surprising strength (trading only 4% below all-time high) that derives, in part, from continuing mention of ABT’s COVID-19 tests during Trump’s daily press briefings.

ABT announces 1Q19 results—and updated 2020 guidance—Thursday, 4/16/20 before the open.
