Q: Your advices to hold on to the above stocks for January bounce is correct so far. When will the bounce normally ends? When it ends,is it time to sell OR should ask the question then? Well had a huge increase of 15 94% to $3.71 today.Please comment as I cannot find any news. Thanks for U usual great services & views

Q: Do you have any updated information on this stock and what are your views on it.

Q: The market seems to like the news but I would appreciate your views on their just released Q1 results. I realize that they still came in at a loss but that was solely attributable to an increase in operating costs (specifically R&D and a ramp up of its US sales force in advance of the release of SavvyWire). I remain surprised that we're still trading below their recent financing level. Thanks as always.

Thanks

Q: Why the big drop in price today?

Q: We often see conflicting analyst opinions, but ratings of MDT seem to be on one extreme or other. For what it’s worth, MDT appears on various lists of “best stocks for 2023”. And just this week, Barrons carried this story: “ Buy Medtronic Stock. Shares of the Dividend Aristocrat Look Attractive” (January 2). This morning RBC-DI downgraded MDT from outperform while CFRA maintains a Buy. Both RBC-DI and CFRA seem to reasonably good track records. I have held MDT shares from multi-year highs all the way down to today’s miserable level. (Tax loss not useable).

I have previously asked you about MDT and possibly others here may have done so too. Would you care to take a side in this frustrating debate with your reasons? Thanks.

Q: Could you provide any information/prospects on the above stock? Thanks.

Q: Asked by Doris on January 09, 2023
5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
We are not big fans of the staples sector overall right now in the US. It has fared decently over the last year but valuations are at the higher end now, as growth should moderate alongside inflation. Also, now that bonds offer more attractive yields, we think the relative attractiveness of staples is lower than it was a year ago (more safe alternatives for stability and yield now).

We think it is difficult to be too hard on COST though. Overall, we think staples names in Canada look a bit more attractive due to what looks like lower valuations on average. In Canada, we think PBH, ATD and NWC are worth looking at.

this is an answer you gave regarding staples . would you feel the same eay about hwalthcare stocks, such as gilead, etc

Q: what is your feeling on Medtronic now? If I buy it in a US RRSP is there still a whitholding tax?
