Q: Hello 5i,
I don't have much healthcare exposure right now but I'm thinking about getting back in. I noticed the resent many reasonably priced options in Canada - CRH and GUD seem like the go to names but each have massive P/E ratios.
As a result, I was thinking about buying a US retail pharma stock like CVS or just buying the XLV instead. I like CVS as it is kinda like "owning the race track instead of the the race car". Am I hitting the mark with this analogy or am I missing something? Some Bio tech names appear quite cheap due to pricing/political risk etc. But I also would never know which one to buy. Do you see any issues with the CVS in general? Would you recommend just buying the XLV instead? Thanks
