CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 23, 2018 / The stock market turned bearish during the early morning hours. International concern drove futures lower before the opening bell on Tuesday. Many investors have begun flocking to safe haven stocks for more protection to their portfolios. However, there are still other investors looking to capitalize on this volatility. Healthcare stocks have helped during times like these. Stocks in this sector have been on fire recently, and ahead of mid-term elections, the industry has also been a topic of discussion for voters. Three healthcare stocks to watch this week include Premier Health Group, Inc. (PHGRF)(PHGI.CN), Neovasc Inc. (NASDAQ: NVCN), and Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLS).
Premier Health Group, Inc. (PHGRF)(PHGI.CN), continued to trade higher this week. The stock has been on the rise over the last few trading days, mainly in the Canadian market.
