Recommendations for Roth IRA investments with Charles Schwab
CURE or IHI or other health care related etfs, which one would you recommend? Would it be buy now or wait a little more? How long to hold?

Good time for medical devices, IHI is absolutely beaten to shit on the idea that GLP-1's will cure all disease.
The tensions are growing fast, mostly uncovered by news. If it gets more intense or kinetic: Everthing defence in this region finally goes vertical e.g. Mitsubishi, IHI, Hyundai, HanwhaAero, HyundaiRot, KoreaAero, Lignex1, KawaHeavy, Mitsubishi, StEngineer, HanwhaSys etc. or ETF IE000C7EUDG1 All Taiwanese companies e.g TSMC would see cash outflow. Shipping companies, Tourism etc. Would face major problems. Western money would have problems or loose their chinese assets. Oil price and commodities goes way higher. Beforehand China/ Brics would restrict and store Essential materials and prop the money reserves e.g gold. Some effects you can already see...
do you guys think IHI ETF is worthwhile to invest? If yes, how many percent you would invest in?
IHI is mainly Abbot, hardly a medical device only company. Try ISRG or other high tech names to get higher quality med dev exposure.
What about medical devices? I’m guessing he’s coming for those next. IHI has been poop.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, IHI. These three stocks but they are already soared like 400-800% from 2022.

Just bought a bunch of IHI today. Let's goo
Hi all, I'm not investing at the moment. Have a few debt to clear before getting back into the market. Maybe a year from now when I can. Currently, I got my 401k and a traditional IRA a few years old but I paused everything. Anyways, I had a fun discussion with my wife about what we would invest in when the time comes. Something along the lines like "what do you believe in, if you had the money, to buy into (invest) that would benefit everyone?" (Not talking about charity and donations, wife got confused so don't want to confuse anyone else here) I gave her an example about myself. I would do medical devices such as ishares IHI. Because not only have I worked in that specific area of the market (worked in a couple of companies of this sector) but I do believe medical devices will not only be around for a long time but can help everyone. My wife thought about her answer for a good minute. Came up with "more affordable housing" or homes in general. I thought that was a great answer and thought of Ishares ITB and SPDR XHB. So, out of curiosity. What do you all invest in that you have a strong belief in? (Doesn't have to be like a good will thing, if you do it because it will make bank, more power to you)

$IHI for an etf for broad med device capture
Getting started with brokerage account at age 40. Looking at ETF's, what do you think? I already max my 403b at work. Exceed the income requirement for Roth Ira VOO 60% AVUV 10% are small caps necessary? SCHG 10% IHI 10% Picking this just because I work in healthcare and see many of these companies all the time FTXR 10% Random transportation pick What would you change around if anything?
If you want to up the risk reward look at Tech ETFs like VGT and MGK. I also like medical device ETF IHI or software ETF IGV.
You probably should. But do so wisely. Understand the dynamics. ARKK for example is a very poor performing actively-managed fund. I’d recommend: BUG/IHAK for cybersecurity XSD/SMH/SOXX for semiconductors IHI for medical devices/medtech FTEC for broad tech obviously the QQQ is a good catch-all ICLN if you’re feelin lucky but I think it’s pretty risky, less so down here Just understand that there will be huge drawdowns in all of these. Also maybe don’t buy peak enthusiasm like now.
> "we have a monopoly granted by a patent on this drug for the next 10 years" Sounds like you want more big pharma instead of general healthcare? Best general healthcare ETF is VHT. If you want to overweight the big pharmas, then IBB, which follows the NBI index, which outperformed the S&P500 going back to 1993. If you want the smaller no revenue biotechs then XBI, which has outperformed IBB since 2007 because of the higher risk premium. If you want the risk premium without no revenue biotech then PSCH. If you want healthcare services that aren't big pharma, then IHI overweighting medical devices. I personally own IHI, XBI, and PSCH, because higher risk premium should provide higher return over the long run, and overweight biotech services like TMO, IQV, DHR, these companies are blue chip because it doesn't matter which companies get the patents, they have to use these services to get anything done.

Load up on IHI Healthcare devices ETF.
Yeah exactly. The best data set comes from IHI, and they define temporary disability as something that prevents you from working for at least 90 days. The leading cause is pregnancy, but accidents, serious illness, etc. account for ~80% of temporary disability. This is one of the reasons that an emergency fund needs to have at least 3 months expenses; it's not uncommon to actually need 3 months expenses at some point during your lifetime.
Stocks like FTEC, VTI, SOXX are all near or at all time highs.. some of the health ETFs like IHI are still underperforming. That is why you diversify
For resources, I use Yahoo finance. You can look up the funds average P/E, dividend payout, expense ratio, and list of ETFs that other investors are looking at. I wouldn’t buy China ETF, just because their leadership is punishing guys with a lead. I love a host of american ETFs, SPLG, RSP, CALF, IHI. For international exposure, VGK is a general one, and I’m starting to look at India ETFs, who no one talks about, i.e. INDA.
IHI is still trading lower on GLP1 fears. I like it. Emerging markets are still very cheap historically and if we run, they should lead. Reits have a lot upside left after the best month in a decade. Brookfield (bip, bipc, bn) are good economic recovery plays
IHI - medical device ETF had a major pull back due to fears that the new weight loss drugs will reduce the total addressable market (Less fat people = less medical device procedures) in the long-term future. There were more details a couple weeks ago at a major medical conference that showed that only heart attacks saw a major reduction due to weight loss and IHI has been recovering since. I think the sector is set up favorably long term (Fundamentals and procedure volumes are fine, aside from the relatively minor bariatric market).
I bought IHI for med devices last week
> Possibly, just not sure if all the new clothing in your theory would be go towards NKE in particular. Wasn't saying all would, but that potentially they'd be a beneficiary. There's plenty of threads about needing a new wardrobe/clothes on r/ozempic and if that narrative actually started to be talked up, could see apparel taken up broadly in a similar manner that IHI was broadly taken lower.
The problem is valuation. Average PE of the IHI medical devices ETF is 39. Only major holding in the ballpark of reasonable is Medtronic, but that's only because Medtronic is getting absolutely shit on. And even then, it's on a forward-PE basis, which I can't stand, because forward-PE is literally made up.
The IHI etf down 4.7% is getting a little ridiculous but continues to feel like a market where people aggressively sell anything with actual or perceived headwinds and then sell some more and focus entirely on what is working. Feels like investing time horizon has shrunk materially and people have no patience or interest in anything aside from what is doing well. GEHC is a name where I don't see the impact from obesity drugs and yet it has continued to sell off with the other IHI names. There are definitely names where I do see impact from obesity drugs, but it becomes how much and how much impact have recent declines pulled forward.
I put the ETF bit of the portfolio into DAYOSS I get (10% becomes 13% if we remove the crypto): Risk=19.6, Reward=12.1 I have a high risk tolerance and am ok with extra for better historical perf in the system so it suggested the following substitutions: 47% IXN, replaces VUG and SKYY 27% PRNH replaces VBK 13% IHI replaces VHT 13% PKSAX for FIW, You get a bit more risk for more reward: Risk = 20.2% and Reward = 14.8%. It also suggests ways to reduce risk, but I you can play around with it here https://www.dayoss.tech/ if you are interested

Generally a low cost index fund from fidelity, vanguard, ishares, or spdr. Standard expense ratio is .03 nowadays. Fidelity has a large cap if you prefer a tilt away from the vanilla s&p. FNILX is the mutual fund. Spdr also has an equal weight one if you prefer to avoid market cap bias. Pick one. Don't overcomplicate your portfolio by duplicating the same index. From there, you can use sector based funds to tilt your portfolio in ways through more generic research and avoid a systemic problem with one company. I use VGT for tech, IHI for medical devices, and soxx for pure semiconductor (note it overlaps with VGT but it's only semi). I don't do international funds. I do pick some solid companies that sell common stock with broad international exposure. But that's the extent. Just some thoughts.
IHAK and IHI split evenly
I like IHI for the medical devices realm. I have worked with some of these companies in the OR and continue to learn more and more that many of these top companies are dominating in the area of medical devices especially in the orthopedic and neurosurgical fields that I’m more familiar with. PTH is an interesting one, low cost per share as it just had a split. Healthcare/robotics type stuff there’s ROBO, ARKK which might interest you.
I’ve been long IHI for some time. Decent exposure to both, especially ABT. In case the more conservative folks want an ETF that bundles them both.
20% IHI, 20%XSD, 10%BUG, %10 TAN, 20%FTEC - rest in cash to buy on dips or maybe 10% in emerging markets
I started with IHI, which focuses on devices. Ignoring the last couple years, it’s had solid growth and it’s fairly inexpensive
Apologies if this is completely different - but I’m pretty big in “medtech” (Medtronic, Abbott Labs etc) check the etf IHI - a diversified way to get into medical equipment. IBB May be an etf more along the lines of what you are asking about though - I am just not as familiar with the companies that etf holds besides gildean and Moderna
Back in Dltr calls. Grabbed some IHI calls hedged w netflix puts
IHI (medical devices etf) been mooning
Ayo pls stop beating up in my IHI
Fuck you spy beating up in my overleveraged IHI position
This is what I think: Number 1: Why average down in PFE and wait for a pop and get out? What's the point of that? If its just because you don't like seeing red, that's a bad reason - if you really, really believe it will come back up than go for it but pharma can be a pretty meh business. I'd either hold that sucker or sell it and write it off as a loss, as there are better companies in healthcare. The COVID bump is over for them. Number 2: Healthcare is seemingly a great, defensive sector - I personally own a lot of it, but don't forget that medical debt in the US is ridiculous. Everyone - except maybe only the affluent and probably just the very affluent - hates how our current system is set up. I'm not saying any additional regulatory pressure is coming soon, but you can't rule it out. If I were to invest in healthcare writ large, I'd keep my finger on the pulse of potential regulation. Number 3: All that being said, I kind of really like the tools/medical devices area. It under-performed last year and I think is setting up nicely to outperform - once again (after a decade of significant over-performance) - in the coming years. I also like how this sector is under somewhat less reform scrutiny - when someone gets an outrageous medical bill it's often the drug prices/ambulatory/managed care/hospital stay costs that stand out. Out-of-sight, out-of-mind, I'd say is a good thing in our society. Demographics and health trends, too, are on the side of medical devices (as with all healthcare). I'm by NO MEANS an industry expert so please take my view with a huge grain of salt but from what research I've done, it does seem like this area is particularly well-positioned both for the intermediate and long term. I hope you do more digging upon reading this. I buy the IHI on dips - if I were you, I'd take a deep look into TMO and ABT.
did another round of buying on ORGN and HLLY, commons and warrants. Also bought some DMS commons and warrants because I'm a masochist...sprinkled in some LUMN for good measure lol. Other 2/3rds of my buys went to VTI/IHI/SCHD
buying things that looked liked they've bottomed - CRM, AMZN, DIS, MKS, SKWKS - just testing the waters for a few trades, but mostly waiting for the semis to re-test lows or maybe even go below. I'll unload into the semiconductor ETFs at that time, probably just the XSD. I'll be buying the IHI on weakness, as well. As far as individuals, I'm hoping for ASML and SNPS to re-test. I'd appreciate it if some of the 'value' industrials would come down like CAT and DE.
Best healthcare ETF is probably IHI over the long run
T isn't what you want at 19. I'd hit up aggressive growth ETFs like SCHG, sectors like IHI, XBI and SMH (or SOXX), and then lots of index QQQ then VOO. If you want to buy stocks, find something more speculative like SOFI, TLRY, ME. Just not junk spec or memes. I'd make a solid growth plan, not change it until 30, just keep adding. If something seems less good, just add less for a while, add more to others. Never put more than 10% into spec.
A main reason I don't invest in European stocks is that I don't live in Europe, not readily aware of what some of those brands do. I don't follow the news on them, never see them. So I'd suggest not investing in a USA stock just because you can, stick to things you know, use, see regularly. Unless you use CRM or PLTR in some way, you probably don't understand it. That always makes for riskier investing. Future cash flows for META and SPOT are not a given, and those companies may fail long term. Chips are down, though not as down as this past summer. So those are fine. Now is not the time to buy high-flying spec stocks like PLTR, but grab quality stocks at a discount. Save the cheap spec for later. It'll still be cheap compared to, for example, MSFT or GOOGL. Too much tech. At very least, add some healthcare, some medical devices, some biotech. ETFs preferred. XLV, XBI, IHI. Don't fret selling at a loss, when moving into better holdings.
I'm long XBI, SMH, PSCH, IHI, and a few others
$IHI 50.00 calls Nov. 18th. And 51 calls Dec. 16th.
Tks for your input, amigo! Is SCHH not a good choice among the others? What about removing it and going 33% in the others 3? I'm not taxable here (Brazil) for dividends, just the tax from US (30%). I still have some good options - imo, like XSD, XLE and IHI. But just in the future, when they get loooooooowwww (or not)
It’s refreshing to hear someone interested in stuff outside of VOO/VTI/Qs (not bad ETFs at all). Take a look at IHI vs all other healthcare - clear outperformer. XSD vs the other semi ETFs, another outperformer.
IHI, but personally I think just using VTI is good.
I'm long IHI and PSCH, a bit of XBI as well
If she’s looking to preserve with piece of mind and grow that money, I’d take a look at the David Swenson model - a mix of bonds/stocks/real estate/foreign holdings. If you’re looking for aggressive growth go XSD, FTEC, and IHI! =D
IHI is one of the biggest 'no-brainer' ETFs available, IMO. The recent pull-back presents, in my view, nothing but opportunity. Medical devices have demographic and emerging market tailwinds forming behind them that are undeniable and powerful.
I just reread your comment and that is honestly a smart prognosis of the situation at hand. I could see that happening, I know IEHS is more healthcare and IHI is more making equipment.
Specifically looking at IHI and IEHS they both look solid rn
Specifically looking at IHI and IEHS they both look solid rn, just looking for some extra opinions.
sold everything conservative in my roth for high-growth funds like FTEC, SOXX, IHI (30-year horizon). Recently opened up a position in IHI in my trading account.
5k I'd put into the SOXX or IHI for long term growth. 5k to short? I hate shorting for a lot of reasons but if I had to I'd short something that's way above pre-pandemic highs that don't make sense. DE is a potential example, though I'd like to invest in the company if/when the stock comes down.
No, not at all. I'm interested because bio devices seem to be hit really bad this year. IHI is down 21% YTD. Seems like there might be a lot of undervalued names out there and looking to diversify into an industry I don't own much stock. Both of the names happened to appear on my screeners.
Simple demography makes sense to go long here. The largest demographic of people are hitting age of 60 plus years and living longer. I think Edwards Lifesciences who is the pioneer of the heart valve will grow no matter what environment we are in. Stryker, Medtronic, Boston Scientific and a few more hit this secular trend. They get lumped in with pharma and it is apples to oranges. They don’t even really belong together with the conglomerate’s like Danaher and Thermofisher. The IHI for me doesn’t give me what I want. So I actually literally own about 10 medical device companies in my IRA.
U mentioned medical devices and I agree on tht. I was looking into IHI but it’s ER is p damn high at .41%.
My portfolio has the following weights Apple: 13% Adobe:3.4% Alibaba: 2.2% Costco: 1.8% google: 8.4% Home depot : 1.8% IHI: 7.2% Lowe's :1.1% Mcdonalds: 27.3% Microsoft: 6.5% SOXX:19.3% VCR: 6.00% Walmart: 2.0% As you can see, there is quite a few tech stocks and so my idea was to balance out the focus in the tech area with a heavier investment into Mcdonalds which is much more solid and stable company alongside IHI and VCR. i would appreciate any feedback and comments. Thanks in advance
Industrial manufacturer IHI in Japan has been working on something similar. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2022/05/31/business/economy-business/japan-ocean-turbine/
Better off doing a mix of SCHD, IHI, VTI, and dabbling in some covered calls.
IHI and XBI on the struggle bus
Not necessarily. For example, medical devices ETF has produced fantastic returns over the long term, check out IHI. But yeah, most are mediocre and you'd be better off buying a market index.
I found out this IVIRSE thing also have its own tokens, IHI and IVI for economic purposes. Can anyone explain for me more about these tokens and their mechanics?
I think IHI will be even better bet going forward. It's an REIT focused on nursing and long-term care facilities.
Surgical devices are going to be in medical device ETFs like IHI and IEHS. Intuitive Surgical is also in some robotics ETFs like BOTZ and IQM, but there are a bunch of other non-medical holdings in those.
Gotcha. I’d recommend finding some etfs in things that Interest you, perhaps medical devices? Not a bad buy rn. Look into IHI or XLV. Work with something you understand and branch out as you go. Learn how to dollar cost average too.
These are some non-tech ETFs I hold, which you may want to check out: IHI (surgical devices), XBI (biotech), TAN (solar), PSCH (small-cap healthcare), MSOS (U.S. cannabis)
I'm in my 20s as well. My aggressive portfolio is VGT, SMH, IHI, and KKR. If you want a steady climber that isn't just SPY, try QQQ or VUG.
Would you recommend selling some beaten down tech ETFs right now (IHI, QQQ, ARKK) to buy into URNM now or would that be a mistake? I don't have much extra cash on hand but I am intrigued by your thesis.
Way too tech heavy. UNH has done very well this whole time and is a good example of everything wrong with the US healthcare system (so probably OK to keep holding it). Probably better off buying some IHI for medical device exposure (use limit orders for 6-7 pct below current levels).
IBB has a negative return of 24% over the past year alone and only +26% over the past 5 years. XBI has a negative return of 44% over the past year alone and only +26% over the past 5 years. These are very low returns compared to the S&P 500, or IHI, VHT, etc. I hope this helps!
I'm novice myself, and don't like both of them due to their historical performance. To play the healthcare sector, I have IHI for medical devices and VHT for health care.
My portfolio consists of: VGT, IHI, SMH, AMZN, KKR Another great ETF that I don't see many people mention is VUG but I don't hold any right now.
If you decide to branch out into niche ETFs here are a few I like (long-term): IHI, SMH, BUG, MSOS. These would be a small part of your overall portfolio if you're investing savings and want a relatively conservative approach
Being only 18, KO is dead money, minimal growth. At this stage, you want growth. Look at QQQ and IHI. Tech and medical devices.
I'd add healthcare to this mix, at least 10% position. Something like VHT, XLV, IHI, CI. Not slow growth or dividend focused, so no JNJ, Abbvie, etc.
Going big on biotech this year $IHI $XBI $XLV
I agree. Currently looking at IHI and VHT.
Ha! I actually don’t own any meme stocks - I focus on clean energy and tech etfs. My top 5 are FTEC, AAPL AMZN IVV AND IHI. Previously I thought that it would be unwise to put all my eggs in one basket - Why would that be wrong now?
I’m already tryna make some bank on LABU cuz biotech oversold. Thinking about buying more CRSP and starting a position w IBB. I also own BMY, IDNA, IHI, WBA, ABBV, NBIX, ABCL. Would love to hear your top picks OP
In my taxable brokerage account, I have 70k in VUG, 20k in VOT, 8k in FTEC(since 2016), and put 21k in Facebook(buying the dip in December 2021). Roth IRA: 32k FNCMX(fidelity NASDAQ index) and 16k in IHI(Ishare medical device equipments). You don’t to follow everyone in putting your in the SP500 index, because there thousands ETFS out there that will fit your risk appetite. I love growths ETFs, and I am willing to step out to buy large cap growth individual stocks like Facebook if I am confident there’s an opportunity.
IHI - medical devices sector etf. Sector is led by ABT, which hopefully crushes q1 from the increased demand for rapid tests
