Medical shares, what would you buy?
« on: May 08, 2014, 04:05:15 pm »
Long timeframe, 10 years+. I'm anticipating South Africa's wealthy to live a long time and have the means and need to start spending on medical. Drugs and Hospitals are always going to be needed, but who would you back with your green?

Aspen is a great company, but would you buy at a p/e of 33?

LHC has also had a good couple of years.

Ya I've been watching aspen. I might go that route, it's expensive today, but because I have a long timeframe it might make a good bet.

Another vote for aspen. I think they're expensive for good reason...

I just noticed Russell is on top of the leaderboard just holding discovery. Maybe that's an option?
