Q: I have quite a few companies that trading well above
There normal p/e
Like Medtronics ,I’m starting to think
Selling the lofty ones and sit in a little more cash
And wait for all this to normalize
The example I’m using, over 10 years is around
25 p/e and now trading at 58 p/e
That info comes from Rbc investing
What are your thoughts
Thanks

Q: Good afternoon folks
BNTX has been doing very well as of late. I am up 35% ish. Also my entire health sector weighting is 6.85%...all US$...BNTX is 2% of this total. I also own MDT, DXCM, ZTS, GH, & VEEV. I have too many stocks in general throughout all sectors and am trying to sell off several slowly but surely. ( I have 66 stocks). The problem being I fall in love with each of them...(yes....very bad I know)...as they have mostly been carefully chosen and watched over almost every day.
My question is should I sell all of my BNTX or shave but sell any of the others mentioned above,
Thanks as always for your sound advice.

Q: Good afternoon 5i
I hold AMGN in my RRSP, and it only represents 2.5% of my portfolio. Its a slow grower with an ok dividend. I'm thinking of selling AMGN and buying ABBV as a replacement, as it may have better performance and a higher dividend too. What are your thoughts on replacing AMGN with ABBV? Does ABBV have better potential? If you can suggest a different stock that is a better choice than ABBV as an alternative, please do so.
My only other current healthcare stock is SYK.
Thanks!

Q: I am looking to increase my health exposure. I am looking at TDOC, DOC or VEEV and already have a full position in WELL. Do you prefer one over the other, all 3 or do you have another recommendation in this space?
Thanks for your service!

Q: I would like to know your opinion of the CloudMD announcement today of the $100M acquisition of Oncidium one of Canada's largest healthcare management companies. It sounds very impressive with it stating many of the companies connected with Oncidium are Fortune 500 companies. CloudMD calls this acquisition its largest to date and says it is transformational. Also, is the time coming for CloudMD to consider doing a share consolidation of ex: 1 for 5 to open the door for more institutional investors? Thanks

Q: I have held CVS for approx. 6 months and virtually it is flat. There have been many recommendations from the street however I have 22,000.00 which seems to be dead money. Should I sell and buy some tech stock like Oracle or Taiwan semiconductor. Do you have a suggestion other than these 2?
Cheers, Doug

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

Well continues to drift lower daily. Today it actually ended even (maybe due to the Scotia interview). I see their business mix as both benefiting from the secular tech tailwind and cyclical reopening tailwind.

Today the stock dipped below $7. This is almost 29% lower than the upsized equity offering. Couple questions:

1). How does this effect those large investors that are “holding the bag”? Could the upsizing be at risk?

2) How low can this company continue to drift? At what point if any are you saying this is insane and buy more?

Thank you.
