Johnson & Johnson and McKesson make a big splash in merger and acquisition activity, courts block Humana/Aetna merger and Allergan and Endo sued by FTC.

For a good example, all we need to do is look at Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) stock.

2 Healthcare Stocks To Avoid And 2 I Like

As America ages, healthcare is going to be an important issue. How companies approach this is going to make a big difference to their bottom line.

Today, I'll be looking at four stocks, two that are in strong bullish trends according to the Trade Triangle technology, and two that are in downtrends.

From the long side based on the Trade Triangle technology:
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT)
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)

From the short side based on the Trade Triangle technology:
Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:AMGN)
Pfizer, Inc. (NYSE:PFE)
