I worked in the healthcare sector for most of my career. I write about healthcare stocks nearly every day. A significant chunk of my personal portfolio is invested in healthcare stocks as well. My view is that the sector remains one of the best areas to invest in.
Every now and then, someone will ask me what my favorite healthcare stocks are. It's easy for me to answer that question right now, but only if we're talking about investing with a long-term perspective. Here's why my top three healthcare stocks for long-term investors are Guardant Health (NASDAQ: GH), Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN), and Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG).
