[By David Raths]

At its Spring 2021 Conference, the National Association of Accountable Care Organizations (NAACOS) recognized three ACOs for their outstanding work to improve patient care in their communities.

DEFINITION: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/ACO

NAACOS said the three inaugural winners exemplify how ACOs across the country are improving care by addressing food insecurity, making house calls to reduce preventable emergency department visits, and engaging patients in preventive services.

USA v. CHINA: What a [Physician] Investor Should Do?

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

A PODCAST PRESENTATION ON THE C.C.P.

Vitaliy N. Katsenelson, CFA - YouTube

By Vitaliy Katsenelson, CFA

EDITOR’S NOTE: Over the last six months, my value investing management colleague Vitaliy Katsenelson has skewed his IMA’s portfolios more towards defense companies.

–Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP®

WHY THE SHIFT?

The world appears less safe today than at any time since the Berlin Wall came down. Fast-forward two decades from then to now, and we find a drastically different world.

For example, China’s large Long March 5b rocket has fallen to Earth mostly as expected, much to the chagrin of critics. And some suggest the country is gearing up for “World War III” after Congress passed a multi-billion dollar defense Bill on Friday which President Donald Trump had previously vetoed.

And so, in this podcast, Vitaliy explains his thoughts on the US, China, and the role defense companies play in his client portfolios.
