Q: I own these four healthcare companies but would like to reduce my holdings to three. How would you rate them from best to worse. I've done the best on UNH as I've held it the longest but in looking at a long-term chart it has the poorest returns of the four. They are all so different but what three would give me the best diversification? Look forward to your opinion. Thanks.

Q: Hi, I hold ABBV as a healthcare holding, since Canadian choices are limited. Any idea why ABBV is weak lately? Do you think it is company related, or macro related? What do you see going forward, either for operational performance or macro head/tail winds? Not planning to touch it unless something fundamentally changing, but it is close to technical resistance and a further fall here could have it testing $130's.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

A while back you recommended this as an ETF with a very low mer . I believe the MER was .1 of 1%?. I have two questions

1. Is this an actively managed ETF or just an index replica based on market cap of the stocks owned?
2. For RESP's just starting out, is this a good way to gain the health care allocation as opposed to picking "the winning horse" due to trading fees ?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hello 5i team,
GUD seems to be a self induced zombie stock. It has not moved for the past 2 years from it's ~$5.40 level. It had an earnings beat in the last quarter but as you mentioned in a past question, the EPS is very low.

Do you know when they will have their next quarterly earnings?

I tend to hold onto stocks when they have access cash for a long time (that is why I held even when you gave the order to sell), but like QTRH, they seemed to have not done much of anything for the shareholder. After holding for ~5 years, I am giving them another quarter to see if there is any movement but will probably drop them if nothing happens.

Q: JNJ shares have been sliding down for weeks. Today the company lost its appeal to segregate its talc div for bankruptcy and JNJ Shares gapped down. The talc litigation was already priced in before the decision. The ruling itself was not a real surprise. What gives? Is it much of a risk to add to existing holdings? “Waiting for things to settle” does not always work out when negative factors depressing share values were already known before resolution of said negatives.
