Cramer: Sell the HMOs

If the recent performance of HMO stocks is any indication, Cramer said during Wednesday’s Stop Trading!, then some form of a public-option insurance plan will be available to consumers.

Unitedhealth Group [UNH  Loading...      ()   ], WellPoint [WLP  Loading...      ()   ] and Humana [HUM  Loading...      ()   ] have seen significant declines over the past couple of weeks, which Cramer attributed to a compromise being struck on this contentious piece of President Obama’s intended health-care reforms.

The public option was voted down in the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, but he said he expected a lesser version to pass. That could be bad news for the HMOs.

“This group must be sold,” Cramer said, reiterating his Tuesday call.

Elsewhere in the market, Exelon [EXC  Loading...      ()   ] is “the real winner” when it comes to the Senate’s cap-and-trade bill, Cramer said. The company’s nuclear-power exposure offers the biggest advantage under the proposed legislation.

“The stock’s way off,” Cramer said, giving investors a great entry point.
