In-depth trading ideas
Healthcare volatility could be good for swing tradersA recent survey of analysts by FactSet revealed that we're in an "earnings recession" right now and that it's expected to get worse in the next quarter. Certain sectors have been particularly hard hit, namely mining and semiconductors. The sectors that are expected to report the best earnings this quarter are healthcare, utilities, real estate, and gold. These are defensive sectors that usually do pretty well when the rest of the market is down. Utilities and gold are priced a bit high right now

Entry (Stop Limit Buy): Stop $44.77 @ Limit $44.87 (10 cents above previous high)

Trend continuation in healthcare is a high probabilty100 shares should be the maximum allocation in your portfolio on a $100,000 of capital. Once price exceeds $150, trailing stop should rise to $135 minimum. I do not actually use stops when trading equities (only in FX). If price closes below my acceptable point of risk I exit my position before market closes.
