Q: Hello 5i,
I have two questions pertaining to the spin-out:
1. Would I be correct in assuming that if held in an RRSP, there would be NO tax implications at all?
2. When typing in VTRS, I see a second option showing up: VTRSV. What, if any, is the difference? My broker recorded the transaction as VTRS and so that is what I use.
Many thanks, as always!!
Stay safe and well!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hi 5I team.
My question is about healthcare and diversification in the space. I have been attempting to keep my position around the 16% portfolio weighting and currently hold ABBV, AMD, AMGN(4.8%), LLY(3%), PFE, MRNA, and WELL positions. Although I do not want to abandon the PFE/MRNA freight trains, I am looking at adding/shifting to what may be a longer term/higher dividend return avenue with the use of GILD(attractive entry and solid div), CRISPR(awaiting a pull back to $90 if it comes), and even MDT(under $103 if it comes)

How do you feel about this strategy and the switch out of AMGN/LLY to GILD/MDT?

Thank you

Peter

Q: I have been holding BIIB for a couple of years on hopes (I know, that is not an investment strategy) that their alzheimer drug would be approved. It has come close a few times and the stock has reacted very favourably only to fall short of approval and fall back in price. Do you believe that the recent setback will make BIIB dead money for the foreseeable future and its best to move on or is it too cheap and compelling a story to sell now? If BIIB was part of your US Growth portfolio would you keep it or sell in favour of a better growth stock. If your decision would be to sell, what would be the top 2 names for replacement with no regard to sector.

Thanks
Scott

Q: Hi 5i,
In their latest quarter results, they did beat the estimates. Remdesivir is still a one of the most used drug treatment. My opinion is that it will still be continued to be used for treatment till a better one is found.
Not sure why market is not so excited about the results and future prospects. Can you clarify.
Thanks for your sound advise.

Q: I am interested why you would recommend Cloud MD (Doc). Is it because it's share price has increased by the graces of companies like Teladoc and Well, or do you think their promotional approach will result in a successful business model? I am old enough to remember Patient Home Monitoring (phm). Similarities here?
