The accompanying table includes 38 companies in the ETF Innovators Health Benefit Providers Index, which was down sharply in the past week and has lost 14% of its market value to a level of 192,305 since I last wrote about the group five weeks ago. <> <> The uncertain future for health insurers and benefit providers that I wrote about previously came to a head this week with plans by President Obama for healthcare reform aimed at cutting health costs by favoring generic drug makers and smaller Medicare Advantage payments to private insurers, along with smaller increases...

WCG -> Ah yes, a lil fraud here, some fraud there, restating a few years of earnings... okay, no biggie. This company is trading like half our population isn't retiring over the next few years. Trading with high levels of cash-to-debt (assuming their accounting only affected earnings, and they didn't pretend they had extra stacks of Benjamins lying around patient care units). If you're looking for an angle to play on a socialist administration with Medicare and Medicaid, this is it. <> The company trades at a discount since we are still waiting for 2007 reports.

Since the precipitous drop last year, I have bought 4 X more shars to ride up the recovery. There is an excellent chance of a full recovery and more or even a possible buyout to shore up a buyers exposure to this market.

This stock took a bad hit because of a high profile federal investigation. The damage appears to be contained. From its low it has already doubled up .. so I am suggesting buying more on dips to average out of any losses from the big drop that occurred with the bad news investigation. NOTE -- it seems to have a pattern in recovery of a large runup and then drift back about ten pct followed by another runup. Somebody has a pattern working for them here.

Bruce Berkowitz apuesta clara por empresas sector salud
|
|
|
Dicen que Bruce Berkowitz, gestor del fondo Fairholme Fund, es lo más parecidito que hay hoy en día a Warren Buffet (si alguien puede parecerse al abuelete). Con un filosofía 100% value, pero con un toque de “timing” estratégico, las rentabilidades del Fairholme en los últimos años han sido algo más que decentes. <>Cuando me refiero a apuestas estratégicas me refiero a apuestas globales sobre el comportamiento de determinados sectores, por ejemplo Berkowitz enganchó perfectamente el ascenso de las compañías relacionadas con la energía en el boom del petróleo de los últimos 3 o 4 año<><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Is It Still Possible to Find Stocks Trading Near Cash? Yes!
|
|
|
During the last few months, investors have been looking for "can't go wrong" stocks, which are stocks trading close to or even less than the cash per share of the stocks. And if the stocks were debt free, it would be hard for the companies to go out of business unless they had an extremely high burn rate.
Those types of stocks were easy to find when the market was lower, but you can still find some of those bargains out there.
As an example, Wellcare Health (WCG), which sells for around $27 per share, has $24 per share in cash. This debt-free managed care services for government-sponsored h...

There are Still Stocks that are Trading Below Cash
|
|
|
After the stock market rise from March, you might think that any stocks that had been trading below their cash per share would have made their move and would now be trading above cash. Not so. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has just updated their list of over 35 stocks that are trading below their cash per share and have market caps above $100 million.
The cash per share is calculated by taking all the cash in banks of the company and dividing that number by the total shares outstanding. So if the company has $10 million in cash, and has 1 million shares outstanding, the cash per share is $10. ...
