Has Health-Care Sector Caught A Cold It Can't Shake?: (XLX) - (VHT) - (PTH)
FYI: The health-care sector is often considered a tried-and-true investment with solid long-term upside potential as an aging population requires increasing amounts of medical care.
But this consistent earner is looking a bit sickly compared to the broader market as the S&P health-care select sector index is up 2 percent year to date versus the S&P 500, which is up 11 percent. Given the healt-care sector’s usual haleness, does the current underperformance represent a chance to buy the dip, or is it a sign the lethargy is masking other infirmities?
