Stan Wong Spdr S&P Biotech Etf XBI-N COMMENT Jun 29, 2017

He likes biotech. This ETF will be an equal weight of all the names, so you are going to get some of the smaller cap names, which will have benefited you. Thinks there is lots of growth left in this space.

BUY

The sector has had a great bounce since March lows. A good way to play the COVID vaccine race. IBB is the best-known biotech ETF, but he does the XBI, because it's equal-weighted. XBI has had a great bounce. It's a great sector with reasonable valuations. The race for a COVID vaccine is a tailwind, of course. Biotech is a slow-growth area, which benefit from interest rates staying very low for the long term.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Exposure to the covid vaccine is quite minimal in this ETF. Very short term over-bought and he expects a 10-15% correction. Trim some exposure into strength. Longer term, the biotech sector looks good.

BUY

options He normally won't buy an ETF, but someone bought 20,000 of the May 95 strike calls for a little over $1.00. It's a very diverse diverse biotech ETF.

WEAK BUY

Many biotech companies are trading below their cash levels. He doesn't own the stocks, but is good with ETFs like this. He expects more M&A in biotechs as big pharma buys these companies.

BUY

Owning a biotech ETF like XBI is fine for risk management. Healthcare is recession-resistant and he loves it.

BUY

She's very bullish healthcare. Buy it at $83. She's selling the $90 September calls, collecting $3.25.

BUY

XBI has been in the $80-90 range. Has strong free cash flow. A good way to diversify away from tech. You can sell calls against it.

SELL

Bought it last year, and just sold it. This stock has broken down.

BUY

Healthcare has been an ignored sector, but is enjoying some momentum and will do well in second-half 2024. McKesson, Merck and Amgen, all holdings in this ETF, are doing well and even making new highs. Also, biotech does well when rates come down.

DON'T BUY

Biotechs look speculative in profitability. She prefers big pharma, seeing continued value, despite big moves in stocks.
