Go to Finviz.com, look at the stock screener, look at EVERY chart for the Biotech stocks. There are tons that are money printers. http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=ind_biotechnology&o=-change

I don't venture much into stocks under the broader "Healthcare" sector, but dang, STXS was on fire today. And of course, I have to be broke. http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=sec_healthcare&o=-change

Seriously though, look at STXS's chart for today, tell me you couldn't scalp 10% off it even starting at/after 10am.

STXS is big, same for ADHD, SRPT (been liking this since early this year in the mid 20s), the list goes on.

Broad market? Screw that. You can always find a biotech trending up regardless of the cyclicality of the market, and if you're concerned about a market crash, just get some puts on SPDR.

 

I am personally a fan of Qualcomm. I bought it when it was 3% down YTD and have enjoyed a small 8% run since. It's under-performed the S&P this year and is a great play on the shift to to 3G and 4G with its LTE leadership. It's definitely not a stock that's gonna pop any time soon, (it's a 115 billion in market cap after all) but I think the moat is great, and can deliver both revenue growth and earnings over the next few years consistently. Great core large cap holding. Feel free to disagree

Near term catalysts - September iPhone 5S/low end iPhone release, increase in share buyback/capital allocation come analyst day in November.
