I want to focus primary on the business of Anthem, and point out a couple of things that I consider to be very important.  The company’s operating history has been exemplary. There was a period of time where their growth flattened.  Growth resumed in 2018 and 2019, and forecast growth is still expected to be very strong even in spite of the fact that we have Covid – which did somewhat slow this growth down.  The company has a stellar operating history.  This is a pure growth stock.  The company started paying a dividend in 2011 and have increased that dividend consistently for nine years in a row now.
