Scott Reveals Bold Trade Idea In Plunging Healthcare Stock

Healthcare stocks plummeted yesterday after the Trump Administration proposed keeping rates flat for Medicare Advantage. One particular name that stood out among healthcare stocks was Humana Inc. (HUM).

The stock fell over 21%, hitting a 52-week low.

Despite the catastrophic selloff, there was something about HUM that caught Scott Bauer’s eye…enough for him to propose what the Schwab Network’s Marley Kayden described as a “bold choice.”

Scott appeared on the Schwab Network yesterday, where he outlined a surprisingly bullish trade example for the spiraling healthcare stock. Scott discussed the opportunity he believes exists in HUM, why he loves it, and how he would consider trading the stock.

  • Why Scott believes his example trade could minimize anticipated risk exposure
  • The specific move he would look for HUM to make before entering this trade
