The Healthcare Debate: We’ll Stick to Earning Profits

Pop quiz: Name the industry that has racked up the second-best stock performance over the past 100 years. (Tobacco stocks are No.1.)

I’ll give you a hint. It’s about as recession-proof as you can get. It’s critical to every American. And it’s future is the mostly hotly debated topic this side of Wall Street.

The answer, of course, is healthcare.

Pundits can debate the issues all they want. In the meantime, we’ll continue to breakdown the sector for its investment appeal.

Recall, last week Louis Basenese said that healthcare M&A action is at an all-time high, as companies jostle to position themselves for whatever reform comes out of Washington.

For example, GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) just shelled out $680 million for a worldwide partnership with Dutch biopharma firm ProSensa for its therapeutics drugs. And Onyx Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ONXX) paid $851 million ($276 million upfront) for Proteolix.

More deals are no doubt forthcoming. Fortunately, our healthcare and biotechnology expert Marc Lichtenfeld is here to guide us through his powerful, five-step system, which meticulously pinpoints the best stocks to buy.

(And pssst! Marc told me that a slew of healthcare stocks are trading at bargain-basement levels. So this could be one of the best times to buy.)

Ahead of the tape,

The Single Best Investment for 2009

Forget another stimulus package. Or retreating into "safe-havens" like cash and gold. All you need in 2009 is a small exposure to the "secret" White Cap Index.

It's up as much as 171% straight through Wall Street's meltdown. And one of the latest stocks to be added - an Internet-related venture capital company - is up over 100% since its inclusion into the Index.

Just weeks from now, we'll add another White Cap stock to this market-trouncing index. To get a sneak peek, click here for full details.
