One Blue-Chip Stock That Is a Buy Right Now

Investors looking to build life-changing wealth ought to pay attention to stocks that have been able to outperform the broader markets over the medium term. That's because only the highest-quality stocks tend to do so.

The stock has increased 100% against the S&P 500's 90% gains during that time. Stryker looks well-positioned to outdo the S&P 500 over at least the next five years as well. Let's dig into three reasons why I believe this is the case.
