Percentage of income from Medicare:

Molina $US60855R1005 (+1,6 %) - 80 %

Centene $CNC (+3,68 %) - 52 %

Elevance $ELV (+0,9 %) - 25 %

UnitedHealth $UNH (+1,97 %) - 11 %

CVS Health (Aetna) $CVS (+1,04 %) - 6 %

Companies that in my opinion have upside potential on positive news.

Healthcare sector in general with a lot of catch-up potential, can in my opinion be well overplayed. $XDWH (+1,61 %) play.

Do you have any sectors that you play via ETFs and if so, which ones?

I would be interested, I will probably now also set up a savings plan on $DAPP (-1,51 %) and make a first purchase.

Expansion of the money supply
Possible fall in interest rates
Debt of the USA (repayment 1/3 this year)
and much more

In my opinion, this should $BTC (-2,64 %) and a large part of the associated companies.

(Even if we are already somewhat further advanced)

Looking forward to your opinions and sector ETF's, even if they are only short term positions.

Normally I only go for individual stocks, but as I hardly want to hold cash, I feel very comfortable in the healthcare sector at the moment. ✌️

@Multibagger Do you buy the $OSCR dip when it arrives in the afternoon?

@BamBamInvest Let's see how big it gets. I have to say that I'm still not quite sure how big the impact of what you wrote this morning on $OSCR will be.

@Multibagger This is really difficult to weigh up, at $UNH it is at least only 11% of sales and could now also lead to an influx of private contracts. Difficult to assess.

@Memo0606 but probably not unjustified, you have to see what effect this has.

@Memo0606 I can't estimate the impact because I can't calculate it. But a trade will probably be worthwhile at some point if we reach the oversold or oversold zone.
