NASDAQ: CTRX.DL

Catamaran Corporation

Catamaran shareholders have enjoyed a 2,742% gain in the past five years. Even after the run-up, here are three reasons the stock is still a buy today.

Health care is a hot topic right now.

In short, the whole system will be undergoing some significant changes very soon.
