As a part of the redesign of Invest in the Markets, I created a new page called "Top 10 US Stocks." I chose those that were fundamentally strong that I invest in… and presented them for free to my subscribers of the Weekend Newsletter.
Today, I was delighted to see one of those top 10 stocks (HealthSpring) being acquired at a 35% premium. If you're learning to invest or looking for reliable information, I'd encourage you to drop by. While I'm not in the business of advising, I do provide all sorts of resources. Furthermore, they're all free with only one exception!
So enjoy… and thanks for being apart of this wonderful network. I've enjoyed learning from you and having my horizons expanded.

Nice job Doctor Stock! I'd be interested in evaluating your investing strategy. Do you have any posts that describe it?

Thanks. Yes, I do… I have two main approaches right now. The first is the Weekend Investor Strategy (mid-term investing – 15 minutes per weekend). The other is the Evening Investor Strategy (shorter-term investing – 5 mins per night).
I have several articles on the site… simply search those terms or things like "strategy" etc. You'll get lots of ideas. I'd love to hear what you're interest are… cheers!

I'm not invested in HealthSpring, but I think I love the acquisition almost as much as you. I've a lot of money invested in a few small cap health care plays (MDF, primarily) that really fed off the acquisition energy yesterday.
Congrats on the call. Are you looking for further consolidation? I've been playing the health care industry a lot lately, in both short-term positions and long-term investments. CYH is another I've done *okay* with recently, as it's bouncing from the lows sparked by Europe/Medicare reform from Congressional Supercommittee. I think as a whole, the health care industry is ripe for more acquisitions. LBO should be having a field day with the combination of lowly valuations, predictable cash flow, and cheap credit.

I had 7 % in it at the time… I've sold 1/2 and may just remove myself to eliminate any risk going forward.

@ JT – It is an interesting sector… then you look at the scare put into SXCI due to HS being acquired by a company that already has some of its own in-house services that SXCI was providing HS… but it took a huge hit… expecting some bounce back today.

Very cool idea. I am sure many people will reference it once they know about it.

While I don't offer "advice" I'd highly encourage you to follow the 5 for 5 challenge… I'll be demonstrating how I trade 5 stocks for 5% guarantee in the next two months. If you follow there, you'll have 5 ideas I guess.
I suppose the best thing is to drop by my site regularly

Haha… thanks. I guess I'll have to update my "about" page and share how I came to that name…
