Just the big names in US healthcare. We have seen the bottom in here. It is one of the strongest sectors out there right now. We saw some rotation last week. It is in a secular bull market and we are at the beginning of it. It has a really good valuation. The political football that it has been is going to die down.
Good time for a US healthcare ETF? This should be a good area to get into because of an aging population. Demographics are certainly in favour. If he was going to do anything, this would be the one he would go with.
Which stocks for RESP and University in 8 years? He would use healthcares such as SPDR Health Care (XLV-N) or SPDR Pharma (XPH-N). These are in a secular bull market. You could also use Van Eck Vectors Biotech (BBH-Q). This gives you a little bit of mix of all 3 sectors. He would suggest 40% and 40% on the first 2 and maybe 20% in the Biotechs.

Healthcare does better in August and into October. But it ran up since February. We have that political football. Be careful because it is an election year.
There are very few sectors that are in a bull market on a secular basis. This is one of them. It started in 2014. Was a little bit of a football recently. He started by taking a small position of 2.5%. This is coming into a strong seasonal period.
(A Top Pick June 29/15. Down 3.4%.) Likes healthcare and wouldn’t sell this. Healthcare is one of those areas that is a good position to have in a portfolio.
(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.
