Best China Stocks To Watch Right Now

The markets just can't make up their minds today in a topsy-turvy close to Wall Street's week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) has swung wildly from significant losses to surging gains, although the blue-chip index has settled down somewhat in afternoon trading for a modest 31-point loss. Stocks are fairly evenly split between risers and fallers on the Dow, and few of the index's members are making serious moves in either direction today. Let's catch up on the top movers and what you need to know as the Dow wraps up the week.

New hope for manufacturing
Chicago's purchasing managers' index roared ahead to 58.7 today, marking its best score in more than a year and easily topping economists' predictions. Chicago's manufacturing gains are a dose of optimism before the U.S. PMI is released. The national index showed only slight manufacturing growth in April, scoring 50.7. If the U.S. PMI follows Chicago's strong score, it'll show an American manufacturing sector that's handily beating some of its top peers. Economists polled by Reuters expect China's PMI to fall barely above the breakeven point of 50 as the second-leading economy continues to slow.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Paul]

  The managed care provider resolved its problems with Medicare and is all set for a world where its role as a mediator between corporations and government-sponsored health care will be in great demand. The company, with a $1.4 billion market cap, has over $1.2 billion cash in the bank and no debt. This could easily be a double in 2012. I own the stock.
