You're looking at drugs/pharmaceuticals. Check out the HMOs abnd anything related to health insurance. Find TGH and MME in the NYSE losers list. ie the "we can make money and haven't been declared crooks (yet) class. Also interesting is UPUP, although it wasn't targetted friday for a wallop, only a punch.

I suppose there may be a correspondence in there, that the drugs went up so much not as a flight to "safety" - which is outmoded behavior, but as the counter-reaction to the court activity regarding health plans. It was affirmed you can sue the insurer for denying or witholding more advanced treatments. Provided such would really help, blah blah blah, but the extreme gut reaction to it is to suppose that all of the most extravagant treatments will be offered to the HMO patient, including the latest very expensive drugs, etc. Maybe that thought was floated to reflate the drug stocks.
