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.

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.

Humana Inc. (HUM) reported third-quarter earnings of $1.78 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were helped by strong earnings from the Government segment, partially offset by weakness in the Commercial segment.

Total revenues were $7.70 billion, up 8.5% from the year-ago quarter, with total premium and administrative service fees rising 7% from the prior-year quarter due to increases in both average membership and per-member premiums for the company’s Medicare Advantage products.
