Q: Can you please comment on HHL. This ETF pays a dividend of about 9% and seems to be very stable. My only other healthcare holding is a small position in WELL. Should HHL be held in my RSP, TFSA or CASH account.
Thanks!
Q: Why do you think the markets have been negative on GUD lately? Their last few quarters have shown significant growth in income. I show GUD down about 28% on the year. Thanks.
Q: Do you consider that today's news of a joint agreement with Astra Seneca is significant enough to open a full position in Fusion? My read is that the agreement confirms that AZ believes FUSION has the goods so to speak, and is relieving them of a huge part of the costs of development in exchange for a piece of the action. I like the deal but would like your opinion before I jump.

Q: HI 5i Team,
In my USD account I hold REGN and ABBV @ 3.5%. I am considering adding ALXN growth. What is your opinion of this stock? If not this then any alternative? Dividends are not a priority.
Over the last 3 year of my membership, have immensely benefitted from your advice. Keep up the good work.

Q: I would like to own WELL. My hesitation is what you identify under Key Risks in your report - "inability to compete with larger players such as Telus and Loblaw in the digital health care solutions space ".
I own both Telus and Loblaw and recognize that their exposure to digital health space is a small part of their over-all business at this point while WELL is the pure play growth option.
Having difficulty assessing this and would appreciate your thoughts.
Not asking for specific portfolio advice , but just in broad , general terms -
if one owns these two larger companies , would it be appropriate to put Well in the "like to own " rather than "need to own " category and allocate capital elsewhere .
Thank-you
Q: Hi,
is the current debt level for ABBV to risky in the current economic environment or is the projected cash flow enough to reduce this risk? Might this cause dividend increases in the future not to happen?
In some of your answers to questions from members regarding health care stocks in the US, you often mention the election as a possible concern. Could you expand on this please? I assume you mean that one party is better than the other for this sector.
Thanks,
Dan
Q: RE; Healthcare,
I currently have a limited amount of healthcare exposure in my portfolio and looking to build the allocation. I hold some MDT in my US account, I have been adding to that holding on dips. I would appreciate hearing your favourite US and Canadian healthcare stocks.. Please provide your top choices for US and Canada plus any particular ETF's you like in the healthcare sector. Thank you, Patrick
Q: Can you pleas comment on the significance of CMS’s decision to cancel competitive bidding for PTQ’s product offerings? I assume this was a big business risk that has effectively been taken off the table? Thanks
Q: Hello Peter,
I would like your assessment of DXCM after the earnings call. The growth rate has not tapered, the valuation on P/E and P/B looks to be in line with growth companies such as CRWD, VEEV etc. The product has now access to the european market, which probably was not part of the equation earlier quarter. Apart from the impending retirement of a senior executive, what would cause the sharp drop relative to the market?
Would this be a candidate for capital loss sale and buy in Dec or Jan?
Look forward to your thoughts.
Regards
Rajiv
Q: Your answer to Jo-Anne's question this morning about Reliq's contract announcement seems fair (another 'good' contract but previous one's haven't translated into much revenue).
However, there was a 2nd simultaneous press release regarding a 'Non-Brokered Private Placement' in which they announce their on-boarding partners (one of them being the new contract announcement this morning) have invested in the company. At first a raise at the low share price seems negative but when your clients invest in your company, you would think they'd be motivated to onboard patients to increase revenue. Does this drastically change the risk/reward for an investor in RHT?
Q: good morning, I would like to know if there are a couple of heath care ETFs that pay a dividend as well, that you think will be good buys. thank you.
