2 International Stocks for Retirees
Companies whose revenue comes from various countries all over the world, as opposed to just one country, can be excellent choices for retirees.

(NYSE: ABB) and American Express (NYSE: AXP).
Rich Smith (ABB Ltd.): I can't justify buying this one on valuation grounds, but I just can't shake the feeling that ABB stock is one to keep an eye on.
