Forgot to touch on the health care sector earlier…
Clearly, health care stocks are doing a number on the major averages of late.
The fact that they’re taking such a hit on a proposal (“Medicare for all”) that is at best a long shot simply speaks to the underlying broader angst that presently grips the market. Without that prevailing angst, I don’t suspect traders would be so quick to abandon even the health care sector, given the otherwise presently strong market internals.
