Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSIISHARES DOW JONES US MEDICAL DEV.(ETF)IHIBUYJun 15, 2018

Buyer or wait for pullback? Healthcare in general is in sweet spot of seasonality, which starts in June. Medical devices is one of the sectors in a secular bull market starting in 2012. Every chance you get, get a good component of healthcare in your portfolio. Secular trend owes a lot to demographics. For medical devices, pharma, biotech it’s a good time to get in from a seasonal and a secular point of view.

Healthcare is not a value trap. It's the worst performing sector this year--and could get worse--but the knife has fallen. If you're looking for something to buy in a market with high valuations and possible headlines from inflation prints, look at healthcare. Healthcare is insulated from interest rate volatility. If you're worried about Trump's attitude to phama, then look at healthcare equipment and services and buy IHI.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks IHI's MER is actually higher (at 0.39%) than the yield it pays (0.3%). Like the other names here, IHI trades at a low beta, 0.86 to be precise. So, if you're not buying this for income, what's the growth? Let's look at IHI's largest holdings. TMO offers diversity among lab testing, lab equipment and diagnostics and typically trades at a premium multiple. TMO was a hit in the Covid-testing days, but that stereotype has stuck with them. The company reported a strong quarter a month ago, but that didn't move the needle. TMO shares have been choppy but rangebound all year, but if Wall Street gets gospel on TMO, share should pop. The price target is 20% higher at $674. Read 3 Best U.S. Healthcare ETFs for our full analysis.

Happy to own this, outperforming XLV, for instance. It's diversified. ZUH is another option, because it covers pharmas, hospital management and other areas. IHI, as a hospital provider, is pretty good.

Not overly bullish on healthcare as a whole, as its growth may be less attractive. Likes medical devices, with a built-in backlog due to Covid. He owns SYK. There should be a significant pickup in procedures over the next 2 years. SYK has strong earnings growth, near a 1-year high. Also look at IHI, the medical devices ETF, packed with companies leading the healthcare sector.

This ETF has smashed it over the past 5 years. Medical devices are a hybrid of tech and healthcare, which he really likes. Problem is that market enthusiasm and growth are priced in here already (like the FAANGs). Take profits.

It's very nichy, though it offers good exposure to healthcare. It's a high-beta play on healthcare, biotech and medical devices. His main worry is uncertainty around the US election, namely Bernie Sanders. If he nationalizes medical care, then this ETF will suffer.
