The Healthcare Equities Group
About
Healthcare is the largest, fastest growing and most complex industry in the world. According to the journal Health Affairs, total U.S. health spending will jump to $4.6 trillion by 2019. That means one out of every five dollars in the U.S. will be spent on healthcare.
This enormous industry presents a great opportunity for those looking to enter a lucrative sector while also making a positive social impact in the world through health. In the Healthcare Equities Group, through weekly meetings, collaboritve market research, and speaker events, members will increase their knowledge and understanding of the healthcare and biotech industries and the business opportunities it presents.
In the Healthcare Equities Group, we will trade Healthcare and Biotech stocks on a virtual stock market program that uses the actual stock market as a base but allows us to use virtual money to invest in companies. As a group and individually we will do research on healthcare and biotech companies and invest our virtual money in those companies. We will also have speakers from the healthcare and biotech sectors come and speak to us on strategies for investing in companies and what types of things we should be looking for when doing research on companies we are looking to invest in.
