Well.....


Here's what I'd have to go on.


PFE (Pfizer) is up almost 28% for 1 year -- and over 10% for YTD... and they pay a 3.46% dividend (based on todays price)


ZTS (really ZITS??!?!?!) Zoetis is up 4.48% for YTD and they have no history longer than that. They pay way less dividend so IMHO you're not getting paid to wait - and you're (so far) not getting the offsetting growth which would make up for the lack of the dividend.

So if it was my account -- I'd stick with PFE.
