Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter, I've taken some comfort despite my loss on BDX shares because some commentators have pointed out that their products (joint replacements) will soon benefit from the pent-up demand due to Covid-caused delays in such surgeries. However, Stryker, which is in a similar business, has significantly outperformed BDX both before and after Covid. In other words, do you know why BDX is so underperforming SYK, and would you hang onto (or perhaps add to) BDX at this point? Thank you.

Q: hello 5i:
we hold MRK in our portfolio, and have been notified of the allotment, as of 2 June, of shares of Organon. Can you discuss how you will see MRK shares being affected and whether or not you think the new Organon shares will have opportunities in the future that MRK did not have. Said another way, do you see this as beneficial to existing shareholder and does the new company hold some promise. CSU and TOI come to mind
thanks

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, would you consider NVDA a good stock for an RRSP and what happens when the RRSP is converted to a RIF, Thanks.

Q: What will be your view about these companies for long term investment

Q: Thanks, 5I Team, for all the good work. I owe GILEAD SCIENCES since 2017. It is still around the same price I am down about 1.5%. Would you recommend holding on or moving on. If moving on, what would you recommend in health care sector, I already owe Cardinal Health & ABBVIE Inc. I am looking at long term investment.
Secondly, I owe FASTLY INC and am down about 40%. I am a long-term Investor and can hold on. Would you advise to hold on or switch to Lightspeed or something else? If it really has potential, I can wait it out don’t need the cash.
This is general question not stock specific. Normally I prefer to buy US stocks in RRSP and Canadians in TFSA and non registered due to withholding Tax. I am unable to make up my mind as to where to put the riskier growth-oriented stocks. In TFSA I am unable to write off the loss if the investment goes sour, If I put in RRSP eventually, one pays tax on withdrawal in retirement, but can’t immediately write off the loss when I sale and book a loss. In a non registered account If the stock takes off I end up paying tax on half the gains. What would you normally recommend?

Please deduct credits as required.

Q: I have more tech equities than I want going forward. Please help me strike one or two off my list by ranking these in order of potential growth over the long term /min 5 years.
