Hot China Companies To Invest In 2014

When the U.S. has a slow news day, it often turns to international markets for inspiration. Today, stocks got conflicting news from two important Asian economies. On one hand, Japan's stock market spiked up about 5% on an even greater expansion in the nation's gross domestic product than initially projected. But China weighed in with less optimistic news, with a sluggish 1% growth rate in exports and two important measures of credit activity in the emerging-market nation falling precipitously during May compared with the previous month. In the U.S., stock investors essentially split the difference, with the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) finishing down just 10 points and with broader markets posting mixed results.

But the Dow had several pockets of strength today. UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH ) picked up 1.8% after the company got an upgrade from a Wall Street analyst. But UnitedHealth presents a couple of interesting opportunities for investors. First, although some aren't certain whether Obamacare will help or hurt insurance companies, it doesn't seem to have hurt UnitedHealth substantially at this point. Perhaps more importantly, the company's drive to look abroad for growth opportunities in Brazil could make UnitedHealth less vulnerable to Obamacare and other political action concerning health insurance.
