Q: RE: Peter Lynchs' general positivity about spin offs.
Opinion about the new spin off Viemed from PHM. Do you know if any of the old management from PHM will be involved with the new company or will it be fresh people from outside rather then some reshuffling of the old mismanaging guard?
Do know how the arrangement will work wrt shares. I don't own any PHM at the moment. Would there be any benefit of purchasing any before the split?
Thanks

Q: Kudos to your new website, it’s very user friendly and a good tool for the small DIY investor!
My inquiry is on a Canadian Healthcare ETF (HHL) which I find interesting in that it includes US companies such as Novartis, Stryker, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson and Anthem in the top 10 holdings, indicated dividend is north of 8.00%!
Also, if one is to hold it in a TFSA would the dividends be subject to the 15% foreign withholding tax?
Thnx for your great service!!

Q: Was doing some research on COV and noticed back in 2007 timeframe the stock was in the mid thirty dollar range. Is that accurate and was it just mis management which caused the decline? They have very strong products and I like the addition to the growth portfolio but was curious about the past.

Q: I'm aware that you don't follow companies outside of Canada but I also appreciate the fact that you make a special effort to answer questions about them to the best of your ability.
With the caveat that I should do my own due diligence, what could you tell me about Australia-based blue chip CSL Pharmaceutical (CSSLY)?
