ABT long term breakout setup

ABT is very close to making all time highs. The stock has been holding in a range for more than a few years. ABT is still working off the excessive valuations that were reached in the late 1990's. Sales and earnings have steadily advanced over the past 10 years to bring valuations back down to more earthly levels. If a breakout above $55.20 occurs, then look for a longer term move up towards the 60-70 area over the next year.
