Top 10 Heal Care Stocks For 2019

tags:ASIX,EQT,CTRP,AUO,SHAK,STI,SUP,SNN,TRIL,AME,

Markets are reeling today in response to the mere suggestion by one Fed governor that a rate hike might be in the offing when the Fed meets next week. Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said that there is a "reasonable case" for a rate hike. Stocks, bonds and commodities are all getting bludgeoned in response.

There is nowhere for investors to hide. The hunt for yield has abruptly turned into a panic for cash. Now this is just one day, and it may reverse course in short order, but it is a reminder of how vicious the market decline was in January following the Fed's initial rate increase. Can you imagine how much turmoil two interest rate hikes might cause?

The reasons for the market decline are obvious. Investors begin to take profits in longer-term debt securities (NYSEARCA:TLT) where the greatest capital gains can be realized. Higher interest rates will erode these gains.

What begins as a ripple grows into a wave. Investors sell closed-end funds, fixed-income ETFs and other individual fixed-income securities in concert over fear of loss of principal. Understand that in many cases fixed-income securities are losing as much value just today in percentage terms as they provide in income for an entire year.

Top 10 Heal Care Stocks For 2019: Shake Shack, Inc.(SHAK)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Garrett Baldwin]
  Yesterday, the Fed Open Market Committee announced it would not raise interest rates this session. The central bank committee, which is in charge of monetary policy, said that inflation is rising and that the U.S. economy is getting better. Markets are now looking forward to the next meeting on June 12 for the U.S. Federal Reserve to bump rates higher for the second time in 2018. Shares of Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) slumped more than 4.5% after Tesla CEO Elon Musk held an highly unusual earnings call. After announcing that his firm burned through $700 million in cash during the quarter of 2018, Musk refused to take any more questions on the company's fiscal health, dismissing analysts' questions as "boring." Musk instead spent the rest of the quarterly call taking questions from a YouTuber named Gali Russell who had lobbied Musk on Twitter to let him partake in the earnings call. This morning, the U.S. Labor Department reported initial jobless claims rose by 2,000, to 211,000. Analysts had projected 225,000 for the week.

Three Stocks to Watch Today: PM, MO, WFC Shares of Philip Morris International Inc.�(NYSE: PM) fell this morning after the firm experienced its worst trading day since its spin-off from Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO). Shares of PM fell as much as 16% after the firm fell short of revenue expectations after the bell. MO stock fell roughly 6% on the day. Shares of Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) are under pressure after The New York Times reported that the firm may be facing a $1 billion fine. The fines would cover a variety of "alleged" misdeeds that include the firm's push on customers to purchase auto insurance they didn't need and charging mortgage customers fees for services that they were not using.
