Q: In our “balanced portfolio” we have decided to go to US stocks for our healthcare allocation. Currently holding MDT, VEEV and GH. Are these reasonable holdings? We like a concentrated portfolio so only have these 3 as our healthcare stocks. Would you suggest any changes or potentially a new 4th position? We are buy and hold growth investors looking at greater than 10 years until we would require these funds.

Q: My impression is that you would not recommend buying Chinese internet stocks. However, would you recommend a Chinese internet index fund to take advantage of the political interference. Alibaba and others are so inexpensive relative to their peers.
Of course this would be an investment limited to 1-2% of my portfolio.

Q: Brian Belski of BMO has been on CNBC 2-3 times recently.

Looking at global investment opportunities he is consistent in rating USA as still his favourite.

BUT he beats the drum more vigorously for CANADA.

Do you agree with him?

More importantly what etf (s) would you recommend to capitalize on Canada’s upside potential and relative cheapness compared to the USA.

Thank you.

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. Reading lots about supply chain shortages (semi-conductors, copper, steel, etc). How are we best to play this?

Should we consider selecting companies within specific industries (Copper Mountain or Teck comes to mind) or should we go the ETF route (via ZMT or another suggestion via 5iR)?

A dividend would be a bonus. BTW, in the materials sector I already own NTR.

Please list some companies that I can research.

Please list some ETFs that I can research.

Thanks...Steve

Q: Greetings:
A comment was made today on BNN that value stocks are trading at a 40% discount to where they have been trading historically, and that if an investor buys into this, and is value oriented,. then a good vehicle is the Direxion Russell 1000 value over growth ETF. RWVG. Do you agree with the 40% statement and if so, with the recommendation of this ETF. Would you further offer as much rebuttal as possible about both statements.
Thanks,
BEN.
