In the video feature, Best Trades Now: Healthcare, Energy & More, what does Edward Perks call “a tremendous performer”?

Canadian Oil Sands (COSWF) has been a tremendous performer, really driven by the oil-price performance the last several years.  Others, like Pfizer (PFE - Annual Report), have been a little bit tougher, a little bit more of a long-term value play, with the creation of new drugs there over time.”

I have written about another Windex member, Thomas & Betts (TNB) here.
