Raygent Focus on Large Caps and Trading Small Caps

We summarized some of our key picks-Raygent Focus Stocks- over the past 12 months. From the recent J.P.Morgan Healthcare Conference we found Glaukos (GKOS) and it is up over 15% in one month. Another pick from the JPMorgan meeting in 2019 was Teledoc (TDOC) and it is up 67% over one year. We do not cover in this Raygent Focus Stocks summary, all of the stocks we have written about over the past 12 months just the ones in our core portfolio. Large caps dominate the portfolio because of providing attractive valuations with some top line growth.

  • Our pivotal market call was in mid-October  to overweight the healthcare and biopharmaceutical sector which was heavily hit by macro news earlier in 2019.
  • We have emphasized the XBI as a major trading vehicle and indicator of frisk-on risk off for biotech especially small caps.But the best ETF recently is the Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) up 36& over 12 months.
  • XLV remains a core position because of a broad portfolio of large cap drug and device companies..
  • We saw the Celgene/Bristol- Myers merger as a unique opportunity with a brand pipeline of products.
  • Teledoc represents a secular trend toward access to medical care with Telehealth solutions.
  • We introduced you to Glaukos a opththalmology drug and device Company with novel therapies for treatment of glaucoma and cataracts and a long-term growth opportunity.
