Q: I just sold off my Biogen holding and am looking for a replacement within the healthcare sector. I held Biogen for over 3 years and exited with a nice return, but I have to say that I did not enjoy the wild ride and price swings as it seemed to trade solely on its new Alzheimer’s drug advancements and setbacks. So now I am looking to replace it with something a little more stable but still with the expectation of slow and steady growth. What would be your top 1 or 2 picks be today for both the US and Canada that might fit. I already own Savaria and XLV so something besides these.

Q: Hi 5i
PFE ($49.36) has had a nice run. Any worries of a backlash against them as we all keep getting jabs and yet keep getting COVID? The virus mutates faster than they can come up with new vaccines. Will investors start to worry that this giant boost to revenue may disappear?
-And side question-how have your portfolios fared this year? Just curious since you don't own any Canadian stocks, have you managed to avoid major declines?

Q: Further to your response to an inquiry about Knight Therapeutic results, could you comment in any detail on management performance. They have been in charge for at least five years, the cash position is down from $800M to $145M {after buying GBT and company shares, etc.) and the stock price is down half from the $10 plus when Goodman brought them in and then disappeared.
I know he had an accident, but I saw him on BNN a couple of years ago and he looked fine, just made too much money on Paladin.
There just doesn't seem to be any drive to improve the company and increase shareholder value. Management seems unmotivated. Should Goodman replace them or sell the company to someone who can realize it's potential before I turn 100?
Thank youl.

Q: Hi Peter,

I will soon be receiving my pension funds from my ex-employer to put in my LIRA.
Can you suggest a few stocks with a decent upside....time frame 10-15 years.

Q: On October 31 the answer to a question I read compared LNTH to LLY as LNTH was a lot cheaper and would have more upside than LLY and big named actors were using the product as opposed to plastic surgery. Then I read very recently Peter's 5 2022 best percentage gains as having Lantheus Holdings (LNTH) first as he seemed very upbeat on it and mentioned it could pause a bit after having all these gains. Here I am 3 days into owning it and it is down over 12%. I read on my online account Nov 3 earnings were reasonably good but I also read on BNN Bloomberg that their earnings were not coming out until later so am I right about the earnings coming out today and were they worse than what I interpreted? I cannot interpret these earnings reports like 5i can. After being down that much in such a short period of time, I am wondering if I should sell or hold? Thank you,
