About this basket

Large pharma, health insurers, medical devices and the established biotech names. A defensive basket with an innovation edge. It often decouples from the technology tape, which makes its rank a useful read on whether money is leaving growth.

Reading this basket

Ten large pharma, insurer, device and established biotech names. Big companies, so the moves are smaller than the momentum biotech basket next door. It ranks high on defensive days, and a day when the large biotech names move while pharma sits still is worth a look at the smaller biotech basket.

  1. Rank first. The rank says where the money is going right now. A basket near the top of the board is where the tape is rotating in this session; one sliding down the list is where it is leaving.
  2. Breadth next. Names green of names total says whether the group is moving or one name is carrying it. Most names green is a group move. Two of ten is one stock and a different trade.
  3. Then the driver. Inside the basket the biggest mover sits first. On the free page the three biggest moves are shown with the names masked; members see which name leads and which has not moved.

How the rank works

Every basket is scored on its average move and its breadth against the other 29, every few minutes during the session and again at the 4pm close. The rank is the basket’s place in that list. It comes from the tape itself, not from headlines, so rotation shows up here before it is written about.
