Sector Scan: Hospital Supply

Advertisement

My Power Options system identifies the best candidates for option trading or short-term stock trading, and this week it’s showing great strength in hospital supply stocks. As my colleagues at Slingshot Trader have noted, this is a hot sector as our population ages and as Obamacare slowly gets priced in to the markets.

The names my Power Options system has highlighted are both volatile and liquid, two important characteristics of profitable options trading.

Use the following information to help you with your own options or short-term stock trading program.
