2 Healthcare Stocks That Could Help Set You Up for Life
Some investors intend to hold shares of the companies they own for good, never having to sell them. This strategy makes sense. Warren Buffett, the man widely regarded as the greatest contemporary investor, is famous for saying that his favorite interesting period is "forever."
However, it isn't always easy to find corporations with the potential to deliver excellent returns for a lifetime. To do so, turning to the healthcare industry is a good idea -- since medical care is, and will always be, in demand. So let's look at two healthcare stocks that can help set investors up for good: Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) and HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA).
Vertex Pharmaceuticals has an excellent track record. In the past 10 years, it has emerged as a top biotech with a laser focus on treating one rare disease of the lungs: cystic fibrosis (CF). Although no other companies compete with the drugmaker in this narrow field, Vertex thought it wise to diversify its pipeline to launch therapies in other areas.
