If I Could Buy Only 1 Stock, This Would Be It

What are the top three things you like in a stock? For me, the answer is pretty easy: I like growth most of all. Everyone wants their stocks to appreciate in value.

Second, I like dividends. The total return of a given stock includes both share-price appreciation and dividend reinvestment. When you have both, it's a wonderful thing. Finally, like most investors, I like getting a bargain.

The problem is that all three of these attributes can be hard to find in one stock. But it's not an impossible task. There's at least one alternative on the market that is a growth stock, a dividend stock, and a value stock all rolled into one. If I could buy only one stock right now, AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) would be it.
