Health Care Stocks Remain Weak, Says Dr. Joe Duarte

duarte_lg_225px-w_bwApril 28, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Dr. Joe Duarte (http://www.joe-duarte.com), recently noted: The Ultrashort Health Care ETF (NYSE: RXD) may prove profitable in the next few weeks.

Duarte added: The markets are pricing in a potential decline in health-related stocks as the U.S. government starts to focus on health care reform. The president has turned his focus on health care reform. And that means that the health care stocks are at risk of losing value as speculation about the future heats up.

The fact is that no one really knows what’s coming. And that’s why the stocks in the sector are wobbly as traders hate uncertainty.

To be sure, what ends up happening won’t necessarily be good, as much of what’s likely will result in decreased payments to drug companies, especially for expensive treatments to potentially fatal diseases. Still, the market is starting to factor in the inevitable, even though the degree of consequences is unknown.

Duarte’s conclusion: RXD is an excellent way to profit from the upcoming uncertainty, barring a sudden outbreak of certainty.
