The stock market has gotten off to a rather volatile start in 2015, leading many to believe that this aging bull market might finally be coming to an end. As a long-term-oriented investor, though, I personally don't worry about the market's moody behavior. Instead, I look for certain qualities in stocks that should produce market-beating returns over lengthy periods of time (10 years or more).
At the top of this list, I tend to find that decent dividend yields, stable cash flows, and top-notch management can see a company and its stock through even the worst markets. AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV), Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN), and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) are three stocks that possess these qualities in spades, making them some of my favorite large cap picks for 2015. With this in mind, let's take a deeper look at these three top healthcare names.
