Healthcare Momentum Hunter
Holds: UNH, JNJ, LLY + 6 more
This strategy focuses exclusively on the healthcare sector — one of the most resilient corners of the stock market — and looks for moments when individual stocks and ETFs shift into positive momentum before taking a position. It trades names like UnitedHealth, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, AbbVie, Merck, Pfizer, and Thermo Fisher, alongside the broad healthcare ETF. The approach is straightforward: it only buys when a stock's momentum is pointing upward, and it steps aside when that momentum starts to fade. There's no chasing — the strategy waits patiently for confirmation before entering, and it doesn't hesitate to exit when conditions turn unfavorable. It trades long-only, meaning it profits when stocks rise and simply holds cash when they don't. A built-in cash sleeve using a short-term Treasury Bill ETF keeps a portion of the portfolio in a stable, low-risk holding at all times — so even in rough markets, not everything is exposed to swings. Individual positions also carry guardrails that can lock in gains or limit losses on a stock-by-stock basis. This strategy shines during sustained healthcare sector rallies and trending markets. It tends to sit out during choppy, directionless conditions where momentum signals flip frequently. It's best suited for investors who want focused sector exposure with a disciplined, rules-based approach to getting in and out.
