"Obama" Stock Plays:  Health, Infrastructure

In less than eleven weeks, the Oval Office gets a new occupant.  How does Barack Obama's arrival on Pennsylvania Avenue transform the landscape on Wall Street?

Formula Capital's James Altucher tells CNBC he's identified a couple of planks in the winner's campaign platform that should work in favor of some selected stocks.

Recommendations:

"On health care, you have Health Management Associates [HMA  Loading...      ()   ], a chain of hospitals," he said.  "More health care for people means more people doing emergency room visits, more people doing surgeries; this company will benefit huge." (See his full comments in the video)

Altucher's infrastructure plays are KBR [KBR  Loading...      ()   ] and Manitowoc [MTW  Loading...      ()   ].

"Obama wants to set up a national infrastructure reinvestment bank to basically pour dollars down on transportation projects," he said.
