Hot Medical Stocks To Buy Right Now

A broad market sell-off today gave up nearly all of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) gains from Tuesday, as blue chips took a hit on disappointing earnings. Just four of the Dow's 30 stocks advanced, and the index lost 138 points, or 0.9%, to close at 14,618 Wednesday.

One of those lucky few trading higher today was health0care behemoth Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ  ) , which added 0.6% after its impressive quarterly report yesterday. The fact that the company could boost sales 8.5% shows the company is executing well and can still find areas of growth a full 127 years after going into business. Medical sales, prescription drugs, and over-the-counter medications all grew at double-digit rates, and when you combine that with a 2.9% annual dividend, the stock looks pretty appealing right now.
