Dear Subscriber,
The rally showed signs of cracking yesterday. This is not surprising given that there are stocks which have gotten ahead of themselves.
If this is the start of a pullback in the markets, then I think you should have a shopping list ready.
What should be on your shopping list? Growth stocks that are trading at good valuations. Kevin Matras shows you how to find them in the Screen of the Week.
As you know, the big focus for health care has been on efforts to reform the system.
The headlines, however, have overshadowed really good reports from several health care providers. I explain this in the Industry Rank Analysis.
Wishing you prosperity,
