Healthcare 5-11-2006

Attractive long ideas : FSH, EYE, CELG, BAX, RMD, BCR, HLTH, HCR, WOOF, BDX, DP, GPRO, IMCL, KOSP and BMET.

A challenging task to identify a theme in Healthcare as continues to appears to be a stock pickers sector.

Appears to be a wise strategy to stay out of the following groups: (until a timely turn takes place).

Instruments: BSX, MDT and STJ.
Hospitals: AHG, HMA, HLSH, THC, TRI
Majority of Biotech: AMLN, MEDI, PDLI
HMO: AET, HUM, WLP==> have been correcting but might be worthwhile selling into near-term strength.


Add to pharma: AZN, GSK, BMY, SGP -- Perhaps one theme that is might have a homogenous behavior.
Medical Products: BAX and BDX.

Names to consider for Growth Manager[ in the Russell 1000: DADE, BMY, FSH, RMD, WOOF, GPRO. (please note there are few drug names in the Russell 1000 HC Growth). So for those interested in being long the drugs over biotech there are few options.
