PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 28/20, Up 63%) It continues to do well. It's an insurer, but passed on the actual costs to their health suppliers, as they collect the premiums and maintain fixed costs. This business model has been working well. Is it ethical? One could argue it is, but it's worked for UHN.

DON'T BUY

In the space, he owns ANTM instead, which is half the size. Both have HMOs and PBMs. ANTM is cheaper, and it has as good, if not better, future prospects. 5-year chart shows them running neck-and-neck. Medicare for all is a long way out, given the huge US debt.

BUY

Don't fear a shutdown, but a slowdown due to the new Omicron variant. Best among the health insurers. He also likes Centene. If you can, buy a fractional share, if the price is too high.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks UNH it trades at 28.1x PE, which is slightly higher than its peers's average of 26.5x. Return on assets is higher, though, at 7.43% vs. 6.47% as is ROE at 21.88% vs. 18.86%. UNH stock's 1.36% may seem small, but it is in line with its peers and safe at a 34% payout ratio. The street loves this name at 14 buys and two holds, but sees only 7.5% upside from here. This isn't a trade a stock, but a long-term hold that you build on dips over time. It's enjoyed a 35% move in the past 12 months and has sharply climbed since Feb. 15. It's time for this to take a breather, which is the investor's cue to enter with a stock buying opportunity.
