# $Unitedhealth(UNH.US) Unitedhealth is supposedly the classic defensive stock play when other growth 

$Unitedhealth(UNH.US) Unitedhealth is supposedly the classic defensive stock play when other growth stocks are being sold off, but due to rising margins and lower profits, traders have been pushing the stock price down from it's ATH. As a long term investor, I'm carefully watching the volume and short sells to determine the next steps. @Bridge Buzz SG
