ISRG: Topping Formation Risk for Selling Short PotentialIntuitive Surgical Inc., under the Medical Instruments and Supplies industry, has had strong growth over the past 3 years but it is now facing the risk of a topping formation. The topping pattern is near the phase where a completed top could occur and then downside action would include sell short professionals and sell short HFTs. Support doesn’t kick in strongly until the stock reaches the 240-250 area, which is below the 50% loss of most companies thus far in the bear market.

ISRG can shift sideways and stay there to pattern out the excessive speculation, but the technical pattern is setting up more like a risk of a top formation at this moment in time.

A Low Beta Way to Play Biopharma IndustryAttached is a piece about SWKH in which I discuss the value within the company, and I suggest it as a way of exposure to the healthcare technology sector without the risk. How is that possible? SWKH uses debt investments when making acquisitions in companies. Debt investments are usually the first investments to be paid back in full when a company undergoes liquidation / bankruptcy. Give it a read and let me know what y'all think.
