Health care, Stockmarket and CNC:Some thoughts:
I promised I would jot a few words about healthcare and how it will " affect " read: " TORPEDO " this stock market.
It has been said that " Nobody knows what will torpedo a bull market until after the event ".
I think this is true for this bull market. Nobody thought of Healthcare as torpedoing this bull but in fact it will.
Take my case. My son wants to be a doc in spite of my repeated advice he be something else .He could have been anything else he wanted he is so bright. But his mind is made up and wants to be a doc.
So I told him:
“ Son, this nation cannot afford you. However if you are going to be a doc you might as well be a doc of the 21st century, which is high tech.
So what you need is a double undergrad degree. A BS in Chem.Engineer. plus a Master of Science in BioMedical Engineer. A 5 year program offered in some Universities. Then you go to Medical School and be a Heart Surgeon. ( which is what he wants to be ).
What will happen after that? Here it is: ama-assn.org “Physicians build a hospital of their own “.
This article I think is of seminal importance: It shows the future of medicine and has important implications for the economy and the market. I will continue in another post, What this article shows
ama-assn.org “Physicians build a hospital of their own “.
is that HIGH SKILL physicians are: -getting tired of the bs of the last 20 years
-are striking out ON THEIR OWN.
-they have the knowledge, skill and money to build their own “ Specialty “ Hospitals ( cardiac, spine and orthopedics )
-they DON’T need “ AN ADMINISTRATOR “
-These specialty Hospitals are for “ CASH ONLY “patients. ie there are no Emergency rooms where morons like YHOO poster shortin_CNC_to_zero who lost money shortin cnc and has No Insurance coverage, can just walk in an ER and think he’ll get care which is what happens in the US today.The Specialty Hospitals will be closed to him.
-This will “ skim the cream at the top “ from the public hospitals who are now taking care of all the drug, substance abuse, alcoholics, gang members shot in the street, HIV homosexuals all people very often with no insurance but HIGH cost of care.
-It will stop moneys from going into religious hospitals who have gone silently from “ non-profit “ to “stealth for profit “ and are building palace shopping centers and perks for “the religiously inclined physicians in the inner group “.
Thus HMOs and folks with poor insurance because they would rather invest in Stock Market High PE dot.coms than buy good health insurance, will get no coverage, until they do buy good Insurance.That will be very expensive.
When the public finally figures out that “there is no free lunch in America “ and that they have to pay for what they get ( my son will be very expensive when he gets out to practice at age 32 ), thye Stock Market will go in Diet Regime to get rid of the fat.
Then all bloated stocks will hit the dust: The CRSCOs INTCs, MSFTs, JDSUs eBay and YHOOs with BLOATED Pes. And slimmed down stocks such as CNC under Wendt will take off,
I am now going out for my 9 mile run. Getting ready for my 3 mile race next week,

Meanwhile Naz and Dow are tanking as I thought last week and as per Abelson’s editorial, ” Paradigm Lost “:
Message 14584907
Naz down 38% this year compares favorably <VBG> with CNC’s decline last few weeks.Only difference is that in 2001 CNC is looking up and Naz is looking down. Healthcare will torpedo the Naz , ( with oil ). I will have more news on it in the future.Healthcare news is horrible. I will post it when I have time,
