(Top Pick Oct 31/14, Up 2.23%) It was way higher two months ago. He got out a month ago. He still likes it long term. He thinks there will be good opportunities to grab this for the long term in the next couple of months.

(A Top Pick June 29/15. Down 6.39%.) Healthcare and biotech have been hit pretty hard lately. He really likes this on a longer-term basis. This is an area that continues to be very, very important, and this will continue to do well. If you own, continue to Hold. Still a Buy.

The healthcare sector should probably be one of your core sectors holdings and you can hold this for the long-term. It is a play on major US healthcare providers. There is going to be continued consolidation in the sector, because margins will be squeezed.

All 3 picks are in healthcare. There is a huge wave of baby boomers that will be coming through this market and making demands on the healthcare system. This will exhaust itself in probably 15 years. This one has a lot of the big guys in that, such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, etc.

Healthcare. Chart shows a V bottom this month. As a longer-term investor, he would like to hold this for a while. If it came back to the breakout level in the low $60, he would like to buy some more. Healthcare is a generational thing that we are just embarking on.

Healthcare. This is strictly US with about 48% pharma. Likes the sector but thinks the ETF has too much pharma.

Which ETF would you recommend to play the healthcare sector in the US? SPDR Health Care (XLV-N) generally does a pretty good job. If you don’t want to through the US, there is also BMO EqWt US HthCare Hedged CAD (ZUH-T) on the Canadian market.
