Q: Hi Team,
UNH is one that rarely seems to selloff. With my experience it’s often a good time to buy quality names when they are on sale. Does it look like UNH is at a good buy level today? Today it’s bouncing a little after many days of selling off.
Next part of the question. I would be looking at trimming a little of either Gsy or Nvda to purchase UNH if I choose to go ahead with the trade . Which would you prefer to trim today? Both Gsy and Nvda are equally overweight for me and in a non registered account with capital gains incurred if I sell. However I have enough built up tax losses at the moment to offset the sale. I hate to sell either one of Gsy or Nvda but with the weightings it makes most sense in my portfolio . Does this trade make sense to you?
Thanks,
Shane

5i Research Answer:
We think UNH looks fine at 18X earnings today. It is of course hard to compare NVDA and GSY. GSY is infinitesimally smaller but also cheaper. We think if one is buying a mega cap stock with the proceeds it makes sense to trim another mega cap (NVDA). We like GSY. Overall we would be OK with the proposal from a diversification move.
