This Healthcare Stock Will Make a Killing off the Health Revolution

On Wednesday, the current bull market became the longest in U.S. history.

Since March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 alone has risen more than 300%.

But if you look deeper into the numbers behind the S&P's growth, you find that one industry has outpaced all others.

The S&P 500's healthcare stock sector, which is comprised of the largest health insurers, is up more than 1,100% since 2009.

In addition to strong economic growth, legislation like the Affordable Healthcare Act and the expansion of Medicaid have provided a wave of profit opportunities for the healthcare sector.

Profit on These 11 Stocks in Q1 (Thanks to This Romantic Tale from My Past)

The strong push up in the markets has everything to do with the market narrative. That's the overarching theme that is the most prevalent driver of the long-term stock price trend.

I know – broken record. I hear you saying, "D.R. – you've talked to us about the market narrative so many times…"

I do it for one reason: money.

If we have a clear understanding of the market narrative, we can make money, and plenty of it.

Since early November 2016, the Trump Growth Narrative has been the prevailing market driver. The three legs of this growth narrative are still – and have been since our original discussions – reduced taxes, regulatory reform, and infrastructure spending.

And right now, the most important driver out of this three-legged stool is the recently passed tax reform. I believe that the effects of tax reform have not yet been fully priced in by the markets.

Here's why...

This Stock Offers High-Growth, Low-Stress Protection from Trump's Tweets

By now we've all seen the "Trump Tweet Effect" in full effect these past weeks, as the president-elect's unfiltered social media messages hit some of Wall Street's favorite stocks, like Boeing, for better… or worse.

Lockheed Martin, for instance, one of our best defense plays, lost $4 billion in value in the aftermath of Trump's tweeted remarks about the F-35 Lightning program.

Frankly, the losses on Lockheed and Boeing, and for that matter the gains on SoftBank, say more about Wall Street traders than about Donald Trump – or the stocks he's talking about.

But the truth is, it's likely we can look forward to this kind of "volatility" from here on out.

Unless… you go with the recommendation I'm going to show you now.

It's offering explosive growth in a blue-chip package - 37% gains year to date, and I can't imagine any mere 140 characters are going to ding it...
