Healthcare Stocks Assert Themselves Higher, Amidst a Renewed Renaissance of Obamacare Ruins

Everyone loves a good story, especially a tragic one. The “yes we can” attitude of both republicans and democrats to give Obamacare failure another chance has become a reality. The foreboding easterly winds are howling again and the market loves them.

“That’s fucking crazy”, ponders the gentleman clothed in a top hat and monocle reading this article right now.

“Precisely.”

We’re living in an era of bailouts, a livid time and place when only small people get to fail and be reduced to rubble, whereas the big and systematic businesses and organizations plod along — succored — by taxpayers money. Obamacare will get bailed out, because that’s what we do. Our integrity was traded away a long time ago, replaced with a subservience to faux free markets, Ronald Reagan, and anything or anyone who opposed Nazis.

Subsequently, as expected, healthcare stocks raged higher today — leading the overall market from the black abyss towards sea level. Some might call today’s 60 plus point turnaround in the Nasdaq ‘miraculous’, but readers here know it was nothing but a day’s light work for riggers who rig.

$HCA, $UHS and $SEM led hospital care higher, while about two dozen biotechs up more than 5% led the drugs towards elysian.

Healthcare information systems spiked too. More patients, more paperwork. $MDRX, $CPSI and $CERN impressed to the upside.

Both gold and silver led everything higher, leaving only commodities lower — which is a temporary condition that will be corrected during tomorrow’s ‘turn around Tuesday’ trade. As an example, $CLF reversed all of its losses and will be closing higher — like a nice, well mannered, stock.

I expect markets will move higher tomorrow, through the rest of the week. If I wasn’t already 100% invested in $WLK, I’d buy $X, $TECK and other commodity plays now.

    Not only are we living in an era of bailouts, a livid time and place when only small people get to fail and be reduced to rubble, we are also living in an era of stupidity – political correctness being one of them. How is that for “Grab HER”:

    Always carry some healthcare in the portfolio. Pure pharma for me which has its fits and starts constantly. The cyclicals will be back in vogue before a bear market appears.

    I love how Benny Shill tries to convince us of something that we see in real time and don’t need any article to understand.

    Obamacare has failed.

      A river to my people? A river of blood dog.

      New design is a little janky, and I think the site still loads slow.

      Benny Shill believes he is intellectually superior and attempts to correct everyone. A sign of a narcissist. Ummm it was originally The Cream before just Cream.

    Trump probably didn’t care if the health bill passed or not. He has played the game nicely… let Obamacare crash and burn and the blame can be laid where it belongs…or his fallback position is the blame for not getting the bill passed lies with Ryan/Freedom caucus.

    Sometimes the winning hand is no deal. Especially if the deal wasn’t going to be extremely beneficial for you in the longer run. In curling terms he blanked the end. Trump has the hammer and will use it when he can score more points….like tax reform.

      Isn’t repeal of Obamacare a tax reform? Since Obamacare is a tax and not benefit?

        Ok but would you rather have 2.3 Trillion dollars flowing back into the country( repatriation) not to mention tax cuts for domestic companies and residents or the smaller tax savings from repeal and rebate?

        Lets get greedy man.

        I rather see “mulatto scare” get crushed under its own weight.
