Healthcare Sector

Categories: Index Funds, Investing

JNJ (Johnson 'n' Johnson, yeah with the little 'n' thingy there); PFE (Pfizer, and the P is normally silent unless you're on too much of one of their drugs); Astrazenica (which sounds like something from space).

Those are 3 biggies in the healthcare sector, which is easily investible in the form of sector index funds and ETFs (exchange-traded funds). That is, the whole sector might be your bag: you're not sure which individual company to invest in, but you like the whole idea that we're getting older, the environment is getting worse, and we're more miserable as a population. So there's a tailwind behind the healthcare sector, and you want to ride that wind. Be careful though...too much wind, and you'll wind up in an urgent care.
