WEEK OF 23 OCTOBER TO 30 OCTOBER 2016

For next week - THC short -  most of  the health care providers are down - probably on the basis of the need to control costs no matter who wins the election --UNH,  Humana, Athm, Cigna all down and THC is the worst of the lot.

WOW- If the market had concerns due to the Election before Friday, it should become a free-for-all this next week!
Comey's bombshell move to inform congress that there are thousands of additional e-mails - that are under review- Weiner and Uma- has substantially undercut the Democratic candidate's recent lead. Even if nothing of detriment is actually found implicating Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation.....with but a a week to go through and analyze thousands of e-mails- perhaps some linked to the 3,000+ that were deleted by Clinton staffers-there can only be suspicion about the aura of corruption and obstruction of justice that the Republican pundits have been
claiming is in play. That makes this election a toss up I would think. My pick this week will be AMX-
"Mexico-based telecommunications services company America Movil (NYSE:AMX) stock jumped as much as 12.5% on Friday following the company reporting that its third quarter swung to a profit. Shares are up 10.4% at the time of this writing."

GOOD LUCK ALL!

Re"LABD"  I have not been able to find an unleveraged biotech fund - RXD is a drug bear fund - Spiderman can short BBH or IBB but the correlations are not perfect.


Can't agree with you SD about volatility due to recent HRC emails. Nobody who is already voting for her really gives a d**n. A few undecideds may be swayed but not a significant number.


I Think AMX is a good pick.  I have owned VIV for a while looking for a cellular explosion in Brazil

It's Sad, but you could be right that nobody that previously supported that agenda will care- and this will likely be a ho-humm event- but that remains to be seen. Watergate brought down Nixon-for a small burglary of a democratic office- small stuff these days. but i think America was certainly more idealistic and had a greater "belief" in Ethical behavior for it's governmental leaders in that ERA. Perhaps we were simply more naive at that time.
I think the markets will wait to see what unfolds as pressure on Comey to come Forward with specifics will be the push this week- and to announce that there is nothing worthy of further investigation- or to leave the door open as -either way- he is forced to resign for overstepping his authority-both in the previous conclusion that there was not enough evidence to hand it over for a further judicial review, and this week's "announcement" that there is evidence that will be reviewed that May- or May Not include anything about Secretary Clinton, and her missing -emails on her private server. Is that Smoke i smell?
Let's give Spiderman the Option to enter his pick before the market open, or we can use either of the substitutes you mentioned if he does not log back in as a possibly fair substitute.
AMX makes sense- for a short term trade consideration- it had good earnings, eliminates the US indecision, i will try to pick up some on a possible retest- market rotation occurs outside of our limited US centric view- Wish I had more experience and time to explore this further.
