Q: I know pharma stocks like LLY and NVO are hot (and expensive) now due to the success of their GLP-1 drugs but what about the other big pharma stocks like PFE and BMY that have been hammered post-covid and now yield up to 6%? PFE has bounced from $26 to about $28 today but is it too soon? Value traps? Dead money? What is your opinion of when to get in (if ever)? Thanks.

Q: I currently own XHC.

I see that VHT has a lot lower MER. Does it make sense to make a switch?
I assume VHT is more North America while XHC is global?

Also have about 4% in ABBV in an Registered Account with a 52% return. (thank your;)
Would it make sense to cut this down to 2% and add LLY?

LLY has had quite a run the last couple of years and that can be scary. Does LLY have a good runway?

Thanks.

Q: ESSA Pharma is just one example of an exciting pharma in a topically interesting (prostate cancer, aging population…) area but with impenetrable valuation characteristics. Can you say whether this stock’s prospects are worth its price? Are there other early-stage pharmas you like?

Q: Would you be able to please comment on LMAT (NASDAQ)? I believe the balance sheet is good, and about 10% insider ownership.

Is valuation okay vs it's growth rate? Do you see any concerning competition in their business? Any other comments?

Q: I am looking for new healthcare stocks after selling Lantheus and InMode in the last 6 months. I currently own WELL. Quite a few have had a good run up lately so not sure if they are good buys at current valuations. What are recommendations? US or CAD, doesn’t matter. Should I buy an ETF instead?
Thank you in advance

Currently a share holder of WBA....
Regarding previous 5i comments about WBA, its debt and large dividend.......
Now that WBA has cut dividend by nearly 50%, where do you see it going from here?
Is it a good time to consider or still require wait and see? Attractive entry point at what price?
