    Does MM like any US Health Care stocks?

    I've noticed US Health Care has taken off - God knows why - are there any companies there that are a screaming buy? (I just bought IXJ and MRK). What do you think of the sector?

    Answer

    Hi Arthur – their defensive earnings would be one reason I suspect. We like Merck (MRK US) however it’s been strong of late. We would also consider service provider HCA Healthcare (HCA US) into current weakness – this is one we have on the radar for our International Equities Portfolio.
