Two healthcare leaders, which one is best to own? NASDAQ:PODD & NASDAQ:DXCM are leading the sectors recovery.
Both are in the Medical Products Industry for diabetes.
Insulent (PODD) normally outperforms DexCom (DXCM) during and after a correction. Then, when they are in sustained uptrends, DXCM outperforms.
For the recent correction, PODD has a -45% deep base while DXCM has a -58%.
PODD bottmed 4 weeks before DXCM, but DXCM has rallied +74% and PODD +65% since.
So, it really depends on your strategy. If you are looking for aplha then NASDAQ:DXCM is the stock for you but, if you prefer low beta then NASDAQ:PODD is better.
Remember that aplha plays in both ways!
Which are you trading?
I'll trade the first that makes a new high.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON Can reach $190 by FebruaryJohnson & Johnson (JNJ) has been trading within a long-term Bullish Megaphone pattern since the January 26 2021 High. The pattern has been having very structured Higher Highs and Higher Lows.
At the moment the stock is on a bullish leg, after rebounding exactly on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) on November 11 and is also above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). The 1W MACD is on a Bullish Cross and the 1W RSI rebounded off a Lower Lows (Double) Bottom formation. The exact same sequence was last seem early this year on January. After one last pull-back, the stock then rallied to the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the Bullish Megaphone.
The Higher Highs seem to be following the 1.236 - 1.5 - 1.786 Fibonacci sequence and so do the Lows (0.236 - 0.5 - 0.786). The 1.786 Fib extension is a little over $190.00 and that is our current long target on JNJ.

Specialized education that secures jobs equals +100% from lowsAdtalem Global Education is a leading healthcare educator that partners with organizations to address workforce needs and empower career development across the medical and healthcare industries.
I've been watching this stock for a while and finally is signaling an actionable pivot buy.
Price is close to its 50-day MA which can act as a good support level. I'd place mi stop just below it.
Yesterday's volume was above average so I'll wait until near the close to assess today's volume.
This stock is up +100% from its February low, that's right it bottomed in February.
If this is not leadership, don't know what it is.

Are you looking for stocks to buy? I am $PCTY $CCRNThe thing is, I'm buying very small positions.
I use the averages like the SP:SPX and NASDAQ:IXIC more like a sentiment measure. The averages are that, averages. They don't account for the whole market.
There will always be stocks rising or falling regardless of what the indexes are doing. But, if the averages are in downtrends I won't buy aggressively.
I like these two stocks, NASDAQ:PCTY and NASDAQ:CCRN . They are both leaders in the outsorcing industry. Coincidence?

$HUM, $XLV, Healthcare sector worth watching nowIf you have been invested in healthcare stocks or ETF's you may want to take profits between now and the end of October. I am keeping an eye on this chart for some good trades. It is a low volume stock with very low options volume, so be very selective with your entry time/place and your option price. Daily trading ranges can be large or small, so give extra consideration to time frame and holding time in your trade plan.
Please note on the chart:
* Linear regression channel shown from 2019
* Yellow dashed lines showing 370-470 trading range
* Light yellow rectangle shows two-year range which was recently broken higher
* White line (channel center) regularly acts as support or resistance, price is wavering along this line
* RSI only had one instance of going over 67 (white oval) or under 33 since 2019, and that resulted in sharp reversal, for now it is moving lower
* Stochastic %D has completed three peaks since dipping below 30 and is now turning down
Price was weak on Monday and closed lower, but still in its recent range (sideway. I am looking at a few possibilities for trades:
* If the market rallies this week HUM may stay under the white line and selloff down to 457, 435
* If the anticipated October leg down occurs, then price may move up to analysts' 550 price target (also top of channel)
* Price has been sideways for two weeks, so it should move higher/lower soon
8 Reasons Why Medtronic is a Great Investment OptionMedtronic is a medical device company that focuses on research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of various medical devices. The company has grown rapidly in the last few years thanks to its strong performance and focus on innovation. In this article, we will discuss why Medtronic remains a strong investment option with a promising future ahead.
Reasons to invest in Medtronic
The strong financial position of Medtronic is one of the main reasons to invest in it. The company’s debt-to-equity ratio is below 1.0, which means that its debt is well below its equity base. This is an important ratio to watch as an investor, especially if the company is heavy on debt – as that indicates that the company may run into trouble in the future especially in times like these where interest rates are going up. The company’s return on equity (ROE) is consistently above its cost of equity, which means that it is earning much more than its shareholders could expect in a risk-free investment. Similarly, Medtronic’s debt-to-asset ratio is below 40%, which shows that its debt is lower than its assets. This is important to look at when evaluating a company’s financial position, as it indicates the company is mostly likely to be able to pay back its debt even in a worst-case scenario.
Strong Financial Position
Another factor to consider when evaluating a company’s financial position is its liquidity. Liquidity is the ability of a company to quickly turn its assets into cash if needed. When it comes to Medtronic, the company has enough liquidity thanks to its cash on hand, cash from operations, and other short-term investments that can easily be turned into cash. Similarly, Medtronic’s current ratio (the number of current assets compared to current liabilities) is above 1.0, which indicates that the company has enough current assets to meet its current liabilities. This ratio is important to look at because it indicates whether or not a company can meet its short-term obligations while also pursuing long-term goals.
Strong Track Record of Growth Through Acquisitions
Medtronic has a strong track record of growth through acquisitions, having acquired dozens of companies in its history. This is important to watch out for when investing in a company – especially if it has a history of poor acquisitions. This can lead to lost capital for investors as well as a company that is unfocused. However, the acquisitions Medtronic has made have all been successful and focused around the company’s core business. This has allowed Medtronic to offer a wide range of products around the world while also keeping its R&D focused on the most important innovations.
Integration of CareLink with Guardian 2 platform
Another example of a successful acquisition is when Medtronic purchased CareLink in 2015 for $250 million. CareLink is a company focused on creating remote patient monitoring solutions that are designed to help patients manage chronic diseases at home. Following the acquisition, CareLink was integrated into Medtronic’s Guardian 2 remote care platform, which connects patients and doctors while also allowing patients to monitor their own health. This represents a huge opportunity for Medtronic as it expands its remote monitoring capabilities. This is especially relevant as more and more people are living with chronic conditions that require consistent monitoring. This is expected to lead to a huge opportunity for remote monitoring solutions in the future.
Solid Return on Investment for Medtronic Investors
When looking at the company’s return on investment (ROI), it is important to note that this is a long-term number. This means that you want to see a high ROI, but this number is not as important as a company’s short-term numbers. However, when it comes to investment, the long-term numbers are actually more important than the short-term numbers. The short-term numbers are important because they indicate how strong of a short-term investment a company is. The long-term numbers are important because they show the potential for long-term growth.
Solid Base of Popular Brands/Products for Medtronic
Another important factor to look at when evaluating Medtronic is its core products and brands. These are the products and brands that define Medtronic as a company, and they are what has helped the company grow over the last few decades. These products/brands can give us insight into Medtronic’s future plans, because the company has to consistently update and improve these products to meet consumer demand.
Medtronic is venturing into the artificial intelligence space
One of the biggest trends in the medical device industry is the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). AI can be used to help medical devices better understand their environment and collect data/information on patients while also allowing them to communicate with other devices. This can be extremely helpful in the medical device industry, especially when it comes to remote monitoring solutions – which is an area in which Medtronic is already growing. One of Medtronic’s key acquisitions in recent years was HealthMine, which is a company focused on the AI space within medical devices. This acquisition could allow Medtronic to significantly expand its AI capabilities and help the company keep up with the latest trends in its industry.

Summing up
There are many reasons why Medtronic is a great investment option. The company has a strong financial position, a strong track record of growth through acquisitions, an integration of its CareLink acquisition with its Guardian 2 platform, a solid base of popular brands/products for Medtronic, and Medtronic is venturing into the artificial intelligence space. These are all reasons to invest in Medtronic because they show a strong future ahead.

HCAT Technical trade THIS IS NOT ADVICEThis ticker looks to be expanding its name with recent acquisitions, but the real reason for the trade is technical in nature, with clear momentum to the upside, horizontal resistance levels being turned to support, bullish divergence on the longer time frame, technicals are setup to look for a return to previous levels off the backs of a strong Bulldiv rally from oversold levels, setting a stop below the recent swing low allows for a technical trade plan that removes emotion. The slightly impressive R/R lines up with the bottom of the recent march low making it conservative, too. if the position is large enough, it could be managed through selling calls and use the premiums to hedge against a drop, just close out any short calls before dumping shares and make sure any short calls are initially sold with a strike above entry. AS ALWAYS!! make sure that any calls sold are done so with a full understanding of any possible dividend liabilities or obligations.
NOT ADVICE, SIMPLY FOR FUN AND THEORY
