Check the Dow Jones Health Care Providers Index. Over the last 5 years it has grown close to 110 percent while the S&P 500 has grown something close to 20 percent. The index currently stands at 531 while the range for the past year has been 458 to 547. Today's drop is but a small of glitch.

Not well?

Their sector just set a new 52 wk high. $HCX has 57 stocks in it and several are doing gangbusters.

Is that not a good thing? :-)

Perhaps you might do a quick checkup to see which stocks in the sector you own.
