Q: Hi,
I'm finally just back above water on SIS with its recent highs. Typically, once I've ridden a stock to the low lows without selling and it comes back up, I sell once I break even - and consider myself lucky. But I know that's really the right move - it's the emotional move.

My ACB is $17 bucks. Do I keep my finger away from the sell button and hold on for more upside?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: I have WELL thanks to 5I bringing it to my attention but
there is one thing I really do not understand.
WELL has payed a premium of over 80% for CRH.

For many years, CRH has been struggling not been doing well (no pun intended).
5I Research has said in every commentary that it would SELL CRH and "not need to own"!
For WELL to buy a struggling company at an 80% premium, how can this
be a good deal?

Thanks and I am very interested to your response.

Q: I'm looking to add a new holding in the healthcare sector, and am currently looking at either WELL or PTQ, for a smaller cap stock. Currently, I only have Stryker (SYK) and Amgen (AMGN) in the healthcare sector. Which of either WELL or PTQ would you prefer for more significant growth potential over 3-5 years, with moderate risk. Please provide a rationale for your preference. Thanks!

Q: I have MDT whose shares have been in a muted trading range for more than a year. Understandable reasons— e.g. postponement of elective surgeries &c.). However I then checked the 10-year performance of the medical equipment ETF , IHI.us, with that of MDT. To my surprise, MDT has not outperformed IHI in ANY part of an entire decade (I used charts at Scotia’s FlightDesk for this).

Several analyst shops seems to favor MDT, as do you. Has something changed in recent months to boost the prospects of MDT?

If this is a good time to add to one’s holding in MDT, please comment on whether the following metrics from GuruFocus are correct:
TTM P/E : 42.98 and ROE less than 7%. Further, I see y-y EBITDA Growth Rate % of [gasp] minus -30.10 and PEG of 11.45.
Can this be correct for a well-regarded company ? Kindly give your data for forward P/E , PEG , and please confirm whether cash flow from operations is adequate for operations and to meet debt obligations.
