(A Top Pick June 29/15. Down 6.39%.) Healthcare and biotech have been hit pretty hard lately. He really likes this on a longer-term basis. This is an area that continues to be very, very important, and this will continue to do well. If you own, continue to Hold. Still a Buy.

The healthcare sector should probably be one of your core sectors holdings and you can hold this for the long-term. It is a play on major US healthcare providers. There is going to be continued consolidation in the sector, because margins will be squeezed.

All 3 picks are in healthcare. There is a huge wave of baby boomers that will be coming through this market and making demands on the healthcare system. This will exhaust itself in probably 15 years. This one has a lot of the big guys in that, such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, etc.

Healthcare. Chart shows a V bottom this month. As a longer-term investor, he would like to hold this for a while. If it came back to the breakout level in the low $60, he would like to buy some more. Healthcare is a generational thing that we are just embarking on.

Healthcare. This is strictly US with about 48% pharma. Likes the sector but thinks the ETF has too much pharma.

Which ETF would you recommend to play the healthcare sector in the US? SPDR Health Care (XLV-N) generally does a pretty good job. If you don’t want to through the US, there is also BMO EqWt US HthCare Hedged CAD (ZUH-T) on the Canadian market.
