- phgruver: @Henry $UNH I'm in $ABBV, which is also flying high! As it looks right now, healthcare isn't going to be the political football of choice, this election cycle, so it may be "safe" to invest in $XLV components.
- billyzeke: $UNH continues to rise. no position $LLY continues to fall, glad I bailed yesterday.
- traderbren: $UNH - reclaiming the 50d
- MongosPawn: $UNH Strong. Now firmly above the 200dma. Long. Will look to add on pullback bounces.
- joelsg1: $UNH This is another short as it failed at the 200d last Friday. And having paid a ransomware a few weeks ago, news that a second ransom has been demanded by co-conspirators ostensibly because their partners in crime absconded with the Btc ransom without cutting them in, proving the old adage 'no honor among thieves'. $PANW looking interesting again back at the 50d with E 5/23. Small long from below and short calls way above.
- MongosPawn: $UNH Gap and go again today. Crossed over the 200 dma. Let's see if it can hold.
- debeers: @MongosPawn $UNH -Congrats!
- MongosPawn: $UNH Strong bounce with volume the past 3 days. 200 dma now just above. Added a bit near the open. Will add again if it can get above and stay above the 200 dma.
- PhilHarmonic: $UNH $NKE $MMM are the only DJIA stocks that are above their 20dma.
- Henry: Good Morning team $UNH is trading into the gap following earnings, in premarket. I wasn't really paying attention to their cyber attack, but it cost them huge.
- MongosPawn: @Henry $UNH Took a starter.
- traderbren: $UNH - rubber-band taking effect...for a potential bounce trade.
- CaptQueeg: $UNH closing strong. heavy daily volume.
- Patrylak: @CaptQueeg $UNH you might want to look at the weekly chart depending on your time line
- CaptQueeg: @Patrylak $UNH Weekly chart is a mess. I am in $UNH for a Bounce Trade @ 487.40. Bad news for $HUM is not necessarily bad news for $UNH. Tight stop set. Thanks.
- champ: Looks like the Markets are waiting for the earnings reports from the Banks on Friday... because they will be kicking off earnings.... ......and on Friday these Banks will be reporting theirs earnings....$BAC $BK $C $JPM $WFC....plus both of these large companies $BLK and $UNH....... and for sure, many Investors are waiting to hear what the Banks are going to be saying about the economy.

$UNH -- The best in a bad neighborhood. Bullish crossover, but this is chaotic.
ATI List:
$ANET -- Good continuation move after yesterday’s reversal. Up $7. Hold this one.

Other stocks (without any idea for post-earnings reactions): are $JPM $WFC $C $DAL $PGR $WBA $UNH.
I think that the energy stocks should be moving higher this week due to the impact of the war on the energy market. Frankly, I am surprised that the ... - traderbren: $UNH - continues to chug higher ....although I wouldn't be looking to start a position here, but rather wait for a pull back after this move. NP
- Momentariness: $UNH Looking strong. I'm in for a day trade.
- Momentariness: $UNH HOD
- Onthemark: @Momentariness $UNH $480 was good support and $510 looks like strong resistance. A nice 6 percent move on the trade.
- Momentariness: @Onthemark $UNH Congrats if you got in at $480. I just took it for a day trade. I'll sell half of my position if it hits $510.
- Momentariness: $UNH Market is weakening, closing out my day trade.
- traderbren: $UNH - coming alive ...although hasn't cleared the 50d/200d overhead.
- traderbren: $UNH - providing an opportunity for a pilot entry after closing the downside gap and now working on clearing the 50 day overhead at 489.27.. Set a stop below today's low for risk management.
- traderbren: #Shorts - closed out my $UNH short this morning, but still holding my $ABBV short -- both via Puts.
- traderbren: $UNH - we could see a gap fill trade down to 484.60
- traderbren: $UNH - may be heading for a gap close in the coming days to 484.60 if it breaks the 50d
- traderbren: $UNH - may have topped out on this recent move. Gaps below to fill...in time.
- DougL: $UNH ug pt $603
- traderbren: @DougL $UNH - to close the upside gap at 488.66 this morning.
- DougL: $UNH posted pre-market - ug pt 603 - hod
- Auto: $UNH short on 5 min DT only giddy up
- traderbren: $UNH - monster move given many folks were leaning off the other side of the boat going into earnings. Likely to close the upside gap at 488.66 before the downside gap. Long.
- DougL: @traderbren $UNH - nice trade!
- Henry: @Henry $ISRG The cause of ISRG's move was a statement by $UNH of increase in elective surgery. That necessarily must include procedures using their robotics.

debeers: ...
SHORT FORM- Home based care is a service that $UNH doesn't have and needs because the sooner y6ou get folks out of a hospital or rehab facility, the less it cost the carrier. - debeers: @debeers $AMED $UNH -sorry for the flying fingers, folks. See ya
- debeers: $AMED-$AMED will hold out for 3.6B so far $UNH has gone from 3.1 to 3.2B. We know what you are, $AMED, we are just waiting to see if you hold out for your price. IMO they get it because the hospital and assisted living facilities and rehab centers are not going to retrench.
- traderbren: $UNH - working on trying to clear the 50d overhead...but not there yet.
- champ: $UNH...HOD-L...#News...upgrade to $580 by Piper Sandler.....
- traderbren: $UNH - about the close the downside gap at 476....and then bounce....or let's see where it finishes on the day. ;-) NP
- RiccardoB: $UNH me like it a lot over $500 . alert set . must close above 2 days in a row
- traderbren: $UNH - a quick round trip. If it breaks the 50d, it will probably close the gap at 476. NP
- debeers: $UNH-beat and raised on their Medicare Advantage plans. Call should be starting. These guys don't miss on earnings and extremely well managed and continually raising their rates because they can.
- champ: @champ $SPY $BA $SCHW $MTB $STT ....I should have said...that the major drag on the markets today,... are $BA and $UNH.

- debeers: $UNH-report6s Fridah morning. When in the last 8 Q's has $UNH mikssed??? Oh, wait--it hasn't! Given the exhorbitant cost of medical care---we'll give up a lot of things before our healthcare.LONG into.

- debeers: $CAT- govt isn't going to give contracts to Komatsu y'know what i mean? $CROX-bot Woody and i think they're fugly but the $$$$ they make for you is a thing of beauty $FDX- of the 2 in the space, $FDX had the most toi improve and will-will it be pinched when oil goes up-yup but IMO you need 1 tranny and do you need trains that collide or indy truckers that get squeezed? $LRCX-IMO we go into April as a lion but we come out like a LAM $PXD-it could fall 10% and the divvie will cover it $SCHW- has inflows of money---not outflows $UNH-on a down day it covers you and continually raises premium and people dont leave it
- debeers: $SCHW-KBW to 89 but of course the proof in the charts. What i want to see is them going down less each day and finishing green not red. $FDX-nice nembers contnuing cost savings $UNH- have you ever been in a football stadium??DE-FENSE Stay in doing your clothes and candy eating.IMO ($PG/$HSY)
- RiccardoB: $UNH $URI if you understand the UNH move up after 6 months of selling …then you will understand the URI move up 6 months from now. accumulating for IRA.
- debeers: @RiccardoB $UNH $URI -Carter Worthless called $UNH godlike. IMO only God qualifies for this honor but medical costs keep going up and $UNH keeps on increasing premiums and everyone puts up with it. Like the co and the stock.
- MongosPawn: $NAT $BOOT $UNH Small starters today.
- champ: @woodman $XLV ...$UNH $JNJ are helping....$CURE is also working.
- RiccardoB: $UNH Anyone wants to opinionate on this 1 year chart? I have a 3 year horizon . Buy or not? why?
- RiccardoB: @RiccardoB $UNH can’t add picture . why?
- RiccardoB: @RiccardoB $UNH
- traderbren: @RiccardoB $UNH - it's had a run off the bottom. I would wait and set alerts at the 50d to bring me back. What's the likelihood that the gaps will fill to the downside? I would be more inclined to start at position at the gap fill or 50d. If you want to have an initial pilot position to get it on your screen, then gab a small placeholder once it clears the 200d overhead at 512.26
- RiccardoB: @traderbren $UNH Great analysis. My thinking is along those lines and a psychological thesis. 1 The stochastic rsi etc are all turning up from bottom of the channel. 2 . after 6 months of selling who is left to sell? considering is a darling of analyst I doubt there are sellers left. That would explain the panic buying off the bottom. like you said i will wait the 50 d confirmation before deploying capital. thx much
- debeers: $BOOT- i am revsiting an old fave. Today on the front page of the WSJ they discussed how both Nashville and Austin have property values going up and with oil finally getting out of a funk, and the CMT show last night having ratings thru the roof, IMO this is a perfect recipe for $BOOT which has the potential in my opinion to be kickass again.LONG $UNH-haven't looked at this one for awhile but has the ability to consistently raise its rates.
- cmaxwel1: @debeers $BOOT $UNH (I still have a slug of $BOOT that I have been selling a monthly call on). Want to see some uptrend before restocking. to a normal position size.
- debeers: HEALTHCARE -of the top 10 decliners, 4 are large healthcare stocks---$HUM, $UNH, $ELV, $CI
- MongosPawn: $CALM Continues its bounce. Stopped out of $MOH for a small gain. Likely to get stopped out of $UNH for a small loss.
- MongosPawn: $CALM $MOH $UNH Bounce trades taken this morning.
- issues: @debeers $HUM Still holding $HUM, $CI and $UNH. This is the time of year (which has ended - I think) folks like me choose what secondary we want with Medicare. I think these 3 are all winners.
- phgruver: I like the way $XLV is setting up on the daily chart. It's above the 200dma, holding support at the 50dma and trading just above the lower Bolenger Band. To me, it looks poised to move higher over the next couple of weeks. $XLV has nearly 20% of it's assets in $UNH and $JNJ, and another 5% in each of $LLY, $ABBV, $PFE and $ABT. Not surprisingly, all those underlying stocks have charts that look pretty similar. I own several stock in this space, (which I don't trade) and use options on $XLV to add to my returns. Many of these stock are good dividend payers, which pay well in the long term, if you get good entries.

Rockstar: ...
The $XLV bounced off the 50 day EMA yesterday and while it is pushing against the 21 EMA today this is another sector that could be bullish going into the end of the year. $LLY,$MRK, $CI, and $UNH are stocks to review for opportunities in the $XLV ... - MongosPawn: $UNH Holding the 200 dma. Starter taken this morning for a channel trade.

E 1/18 and watching for entry. NP yet.
- Niche: @joelsg1 $UNH BEEN researching UNH and cannot find any reason for it's pullback Do you know of any reason? Thank you
- joelsg1: @Niche $UNH All health insurers taking it on chin since election. Seems irrational as even suspected red wave wasn't going to impact ACA much if at all, though they could've pushed brinksmanship to reduce Social Security, Medicare and subsidized health ins. Not any more. All I got.
- DavidM: Any thoughts on $UNH? 6% drop today and i can find no news.
- vcondry: @DavidM $UNH all healthcare stocks are getting pounded. I dont know if its the risk rotation or what. see $JNJ $LLY $VRTX etc edit: I'm right there with you brother...taking a whipping on $LLY
- jwstich: Many of large insurers are down today: $HUM, $CI, $MOH, $UNH, $ELV. All appear relatively similar to me on the IBD platform (MarketSmith). Does anyone have a preference?
