TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the Senate is filled with more-savvy politicians, and the upside for beaten-down names is huge.

(closed on 08/04/08)

As I posted for Cigna, Health sector revenues are of the most stable. Cigna and Humana are well priced, middle capitalized and still gearing for innovation.

These sister trades will provide a touch of diversification. One may fail and one may succeed but on overall these two picks represent a nice area of growth within a typically recession proof sector.

Stocks to avoid: Motley Fool says stay away from WaMu, Ambac, Pulte Graphic_rating_buy HUM

Filed under: Forecasts, CIGNA Corp (CI), Washington Mutual (WM), Economic data, Stocks to Buy, Recession

It has been a tough year for investors. We have been dealing with recession fears, housing market worries, high gasoline prices and a very weak U.S dollar. As much as we would love to say that the worst is behind us, we still could be in for some more rocky times ahead. So its best to try to figure out which stocks would be best to avoid for the time being.

Richard Gibbons wrote up a nice piece over on The Motley Fool that looks at some of the stocks that we would be wise to stay away from...

This is a short term trade Healthcare is not doing very well for the most part and I don't expect it turn around any time soon. I am recommending shorting HUM here at the top of this range, I expect it to continue going down for a few more weeks. You may consider buying some MAy option puts. Good luck and remeber to use your stop losses.

Medicare Drug Plan Wrong Prescription for Humana Earnings HUM
+1.53%
in 608 days
3/13 - "Humana’s downward revision of guidance reflects a costly Medicare Part D slip-up in a product that consistently challenges actuarial assumptions and produces unanticipated results. Through a combination of poor product design and inadequate pricing, the company has experienced adverse selection within both the Enhanced and Standard Medicare drug plans. While the plans must retain their prices and structure throughout 2008, Humana can make changes for 2009. However, we have lowered both 2008 and 2009 earnings estimates to reflect potential continued adverse selection as the company s...
