Likes med-tech space. Space has historically traded at 20 PE’s and up. Growth is very good. Demographics are very positive. Currently out of favour because of fears of what the government will do to the industry. Trading at one of the lowest multiples in its 20-year history.

Likes medical devices sector. Of all the sectors, medical equipment is one of the tops. Regardless of what is going on in the economies , medical devices will continue to sell. He owns Zoll Medical (ZOLL-Q) instead, which has more growth potential. Thinks there is more upside potential in the small/mid-cap size names.
