Look to health care stocks to find stable earners and diamonds in the rough while the market bottoms, said Connor Browne of Thornburg Value Fund.

"Quite simply, we think Life Time has built a better mousetrap. Their clubs are very high quality, their focus on service shows, because of their size and scale, they are able to offer very high level services at a pretty reasonable family membership, of around something like $100 a month, and without any commitment," Browne explains.
