He has owned IRTC-O in the past. It is in the medical device space and has equipment that looks for heart arrhythmia and loads the data to the cloud. The market has not yet said this stock has taken a positive turn yet. Earnings are growing and it is growing into its share price. He wants to see it break above $85-$87 before getting back in. He would prefer holding EW-N
When it came down to his model price it was the only buying opportunity there was in the last eight years. He loves the company. Model price is $99.94, a 30% premium that it is trading at. He can only wish for a pull back.
(A Top Pick Feb 08/18, Up 37%) A high-quality holding, who's business is less evasive surgery technology. They have massive market share in the space. Lots of spending by hospitals will go into this. You have to accept it will be volatile at times.
(A Top Pick Mar 19/18, Up 22%) He owns this through the IHI ETF. Their catheter device accounts for 60% of revenue and results in less-invasive surgeries which results in higher patient turnover in hospitals (which are expensive). This is better for patients and hospitals. They continue to take market share.
Structural heart disease drugs. Must distinguish between quality stocks. This is one. However, it is less attractive due to the valuation. Future success is already priced in.
Down 30% today, the worst single-day drop since 2000. Very punishing.
The interesting is that it's still at 25x post-drop. You're seeing earnings misses get punished because the aggregate multiple they trade at is still on the high end.
Was upgraded a few times today after earnings--doing well. A quality healthcare name though a general rule in healthcare is don't own just one name in a space, because what can go right one stock, could go wrong in another and vice versa or wrong for both. Diversify.
