Health Plan Stocks Rise 15% in 2011, Trouncing Broader Market

This is why I’m not a Wall Street analyst or fund manager.  Who’s have guessed that health plan stocks would soar in 2011, up nearly 15% for the year through Feb. 11, according to a CRG tally of 14 leading issues.  In comparison, the Dow Jones Industrials, Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 are each up about 6% year-to-date.  The biggest gainers included Amerigroup, up 25%; Aetna and Molina, up 23% and HealthSpring, up 21%.
