Is this the investment trend of the decade?

To find the next big investment trend, you should 'follow the silicon'. And right now it's heading for medical diagnostics. Michael Orme explains why the 'end of medicine' could be the beginning of a great investment opportunity.

Set your sights on medical diagnostics as the next big thing. The bloated $3-$4 trillion global healthcare industry shows itself overripe for radical disruption and the alchemists of Silicon Valley have set their sights firmly on it.

When they home in on an industry, the game changes and wealth creation amounting to hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollar can result. And sometimes be destroyed, it should be added, when a bubble bursts, like the Internet 1.0 bubble in 2000, only to bubble up again as Web 2.0.
