Healthcare the best performer on the day. Managed care especially with the HMO +2.41% on the day. As noted in yesterday's comment the index dropped early and held support at the 1420 level. Managed care names also aided by some positive Bernstein positive comments regarding Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) regulations. Device makers/equipment names all had a nice bounce off yesterday's sell off led by the MDT earnings miss and guidance cut. In the pharma space SOMX caught a bid and finished up 28% after they announced a collaboration w/ PG.
Multiple manged care stocks had bullish engulfing patterns, look for future support at these levels - AET 26.40, CI 31.40, CVH 19.05, HUM 47.40, UNH 30.80
