Christmas Dare to "Care" - UnitedHealth for U ? Check it out.

With one trading day to go and we are finally done with 2022, its time to do some homework and put up a List of what to invest in stocks for 2023 - right !

What I have in mind today is something not in my current holding / portfolio.

Planning to have a more "balanced" holding so that all my eggs (resources & stocks) are not in one basket. Makes sense ?

International Red Cross "symbol" of Healthcare

What is lacking in my holdings is stock from "Healthcare" sector.

With the baby boomer generations heading into the retirement phase and increasing healthcare cost across the world, think there is a "bright" future for stocks in this "undercurrent" sector. Agree ?

    Starting to look like UNH is topping out on growth. Slowing projected next year over historic performance. As such, the stock is starting to nose over a little. I will be reducing my position over time.

      It's the top or 2nd top component stk in DJIA index.. Is there a disjoint between reality as mentioned and officials deciding which stock to include or exclude from DJIA?
