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.

There should be a significant pickup in procedures over the next 2 years. SYK has strong earnings growth, near a 1-year high.

(A Top Pick Aug 15/18, Up 20%) A good way to play pharma without the litigation problems. For a Canadian one, it would be ZUH. Medical devices have done very well, and wish he had more.
