They are still at it, and even during the passing of one of the US’s most famous and legendary Senator’s, the Healthcare debate has taken appeared to have taken new angles. I write as an investor and not as a policy maker or political analyst. It is not my goal to debate the political implications of anything, but the implications as an investor and/or trader. I can’t help but notice how the healthcare debate tide is turning once again.
It is turning in favor of more government intervention which leads to smaller profits for Healthcare companies like Aetna (
AET), United Health Group (
UNH), and Well Point (
WLP).

(Must be a blog subscriber) The economy has definitely improved in the last couple of months and although we are not technically out of the current recession, many people feel that we will have a double dip recession. Do you feel that there will be a double dip recession? a) No, because we are not coming out of the current recession b) no, there will be no double dip recession c) yes, there will be a double dip recession
Here is a chart for Aetna which is pretty good proxy for the Healthcare trade and the stock appears to have peaked and could test its lows of mid-June.
Ted Kennedy has been a champion for the side of Universal Healthcare for years, and you can’t under-estimate how a man’s passing can inspire others to carry out their lifelong goals. In fact when Lyndon Johnson took the Presidency after the assassination of John F Kennedy, many people could hardly recognize him anymore. He became completely dedicated to John F. Kennedy’s lifetime goals.
Regardless of anyone’s legacy, the Healthcare debate for the Democrats goes on and as long as they have super majority the cause will endure and their dream will never die. The debate definitely seems to have evolved to a place where the Republicans have become more defensive and I have noticed more and more of them saying that they are for healthcare reform.
If the Democrats can get united behind something like co-ops or any other major reform, and pick off a couple of Republicans along the way, you will probably see some of these healthcare stocks go below their mid-June lows.
Be certain to do your own homework and get educated like always before investing, and
our courses will help you do just that. I look forward to seeing you in a course.
