One of the sectors we have been focused on in 2020 is healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for essential medical infrastructure.
There are numerous ways for investors to buy into the medical sector. Certainly many in the market have been investing in developers of potential vaccines. Certain to be a big winner for the companies that come out with a working vaccine first, but also risking losses if the company you are invested in fails to develop a vaccine at all. Investors who are speculating in the sector are trying to strike gold. If it works, it’s very profitable. If you don’t strike gold, it isn’t.
At High Dividend Opportunities, we do not want to be speculating on which company is going to create a vaccine, or whether this or that new cancer treatment will be approved, or whether a particular operator in the medical sector is going to be successful.
You might have heard the saying “In a gold rush, sell shovels.” Suggesting that the way to strike it rich is not by getting lucky finding gold, it’s to sell the tools that are in high-demand. We say take it one step further: In a gold rush, be the landlord.
Or perhaps we today, we should say “silver-rush.” There’s no secret that the US has an aging population. One of the unfortunate but inevitable side effects of aging is that you need more medical care. Beyond COVID-19, long after we have dealt with the pandemic for better or worse, Americans are going to need healthcare to take care of a large variety of health needs. Unfortunately for all of us who are aging, diabetes, heart disease, high or low blood pressure, injuries, dental issues, eye issues, and hundreds of other health issues will plague us as we age. And the population in the United States is aging at a fast pace.
