With a growing demand for Healthcare WebMD has positioned itself to dominate the online market. I believe this to be a real winner in the future.

WebMD's high P/E ratio just isn't justified by the numbers. Other than a slight spike last quarter (possibly attributable to the H1N1 scare), their earnings seem to be in general decline.

A lot of other sites, such as the Mayo Clinic's, provide the same service, and, as another Fool mentioned here, it's probably only a matter of time before a heavy hitter like Google gets into the game. Whatever "moat" this company had is quickly crumbling, and all that's left of it is its brand.

The brand simply isn't worth WebMD's $2.2 billionmarket cap. There may be some short-term plays left in their stock, but in the long run, WebMD's days are numbered.
