The S&P 500 Health Care Sector Index is down over 2.50% year-to-date versus a 17% gain in the benchmark S&P 500 index. The decline has been broad-based as investors focus their capital allocations on high-flying technology stocks at the expense of pharmaceutical

Earlier this summer, President Biden announced that his administration would spend $42 billion through the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program to ensure that “every person in America” had internet access by 2030. And, of course, there are some obvious stocks that will benefit from the broadband plan.  “It’s the biggest investment in high-speed

Recently there were two signs that my prediction is coming true. Specifically, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) reported that the sales of PCs were starting to
