Top Managed Healthcare Stocks To Watch Right Now

Rajat Gupta may still be walking around, free on bail, and not in jail. But at least he has less walking-around money these days.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York�has levied an additional $13.9 million penalty against former Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS  ) board member Rajat K. Gupta, in punishment for his crime of "illegally tipping corporate secrets to former hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam."

This week's penalty is separate from the $92.8 million penalty that Rajaratnam was hit with in November 2011. It is on top of the October 2012 sentence of two years' jail time, and the $5 million fine imposed on Gupta, and a December 2012 order of disgorgement of profits.

Gupta has also been permanently barred from serving as an officer or director of any public company and from associating with any broker, dealer, or investment advisor in the future.�

Gupta's crime was that he allegedly tipped Rajaratnam to the fact that Berkshire Hathaway�was about to invest $5 billion in Goldman Sachs, before the deal was publicly announced, and gave other inside information, as well.

  Overlooked mid cap medical�technology and systems�stock CareFusion Corporation (NYSE: CFN) could offer nice growth in the healthcare space, meaning its worth taking a closer look at the stock along with the performance of potential benchmarks like the iShares Dow Jones US Medical Device ETF (NYSEARCA: IHI) and SPDR S&P Health Care Equipment ETF (NYSEARCA: XHE). I should mention that we have recently added CareFusion Corporation to our SmallCap Network Elite Opportunity (SCN EO) portfolio because the�stock continues to be in a long-term thrusting patter and we believe its also�undervalued based on current valuation.

  However, the prices for NAND are expected to remain in the mid single-digits in the quarter, but the company has lowered its costs in the previous quarter that should help the company to keep the margin intact. The NAND business is witnessing good demand due to the booming market for solid-state drives (SSD) and mobile. Thus, a slight drop in pricing should be compensated for by higher volumes and lower costs.
