Best Healthcare Stock Picks For 2013

Last year at this time, I made a screen of some stocks from the healthcare sector with an interesting market valuation, a great past growth performance as well as good earnings situation. Over the recent year the Dow Jones Index is up 8.36 percent, the S&P 500 gained 13.82 percent and the Nasdaq is 14.58 percent higher.

My seven healthcare picks from last year performed on average 31.55 percent while the healthcare sector summarized a total gain of 25.7 percent. Below is a current screen of the seven picks with performance figures. Here are my favorite stocks: Abbott Laboratories (ABT), Herbalife (HLF), Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA),
