The iShares S&P Global Healthcare ETF (XHC-T) is noted for being the top choice for healthcare investing, particularly for those seeking dividends. Experts emphasize the necessity of considering U.S. healthcare stocks due to the limited options available in Canada, predominantly revolving around marijuana and senior living services. XHC is recognized for its broad exposure to major large-cap healthcare companies, including pharmaceuticals, healthcare products, and services, making it appealing for both defensive and growth investors. However, its performance can be influenced by governmental actions in the U.S., which may introduce volatility related to pricing pressures. The demographic trends in healthcare appear favorable, with good long-term growth potential, suggesting a balanced investment approach could benefit investors looking for both income and growth.
Thinly traded but the market maker has a lot up there in Bid & Ask so liquidity is really not an issue when it comes to ETF’s. Have been some pretty good movement in the global health care stocks. This one has been attractive and people have been pumping money into them on market downturns based on commodity prices being pounded. He is not big on healthcare right now and you’ve had a pretty good move on this one and feels there are other areas with more value.

Health Care Sector. Likes it in general, long term. It will have volatility. If we get a correction, wait for it to come to $25. A nice stable place to get a yield from.
