Q: Hi 5i team

I own some Perrigo and Mylan is trying to take over the company sending the share up.

Now we have Teva trying to take over Mylan...and Perrigo rejecting Mylan's bid.

In your view, what are the chances of Mylan increasing its offer as a strategy to escape from Teva and what would you do with shares of PRGO?

Thx

Q: i have held axp for a number of years and added some more this year. It appears weak these days, making it tempting to add more. As a cardholder, it is by far my favourite card to have. Service, points rewards, perks, web and app make it a winner in my books. Any thoughts on it as an investment? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi team, How do you feel about Cat? Do you think it might be dead money for the next couple of years? I have held it for some time but now I have found it to be lagging, I assume due to the oil situation.

Q: What is your opinion of this company?
There is so much merger and acquisition going on in the US, I am wondering if this company may be a candidate for someone like Coke to pick up?

Q: I own SIO and SEV. I have owned SIGM in the past. All of these companies in my view are trying to cash in on the "next big thing". Are any of these companies real winners in this space or are there other companies that are worth buying.

Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter, I think I need to add to my US holdings. Air travel doesn't look like it's going away any time soon. And while I'm not interested in an airline stock, can you please offer any comments you might have on Boeing (understanding that you don't focus on US companies). Thanks, James

Q: Can IWO be held inside a TFSA since it consists of american stocks. Is there a 15% claw back on the dividend. Would it really be considered a growth name since it consists of many companies. Thank You for the great service.

Q: Reported recently & missed by .01. Based on TTM: ROE 76%, EGrowth 59% -reports Q1 15 mid May, I believe? I was thinking of waiting for these results before buying for longer hold as oil prices start increasing later in the year as long as the dividend is sustainable-pay me to wait??
