Q: Hello 5i,
I'm having trouble making sense of the merger of these two companies.
Specifically, I owned 300 shares of LVGO pre-merger. How many TDOC shares at what price and how much cash should receive. For some reason my math doesn't match what RBC Direct shows.
Thank you so much!

Q: ABC recently reported its annual and 4th qtr results. Operations looked good but they booked a massive reserve for their opioid problem which completely wiped out the company's equity. Yet some analysts have upgraded their forecasts. Presumably this didn't breach any loan covenants but I worry that it might impede future borrowings or restrict future dividend payments etc. I understand that actual payments are to be spread over many years but I still worry that it is a big negative.
Your thoughts will be appreciated.

Q: I have to add US tech exposure (missed the boat) and only 4 percent which translates to $350,000. I already have 60 holding (total portfolio) which is already high but I’m ok with it given the size of my portfolio. Which would you pick? Should I just buy all 4 at 1 percent holding increasing to 64 holdings or pick just 1 or 2?

Q: I try to buy best in breed companies or leaders in each sector/industry with the goal of holding for the long term. With the current sell off in high growth tech stocks my buy price alerts in the above companies are starting to get triggered. During times when we get a market sell off or sector rotation, as we may be getting over the next few days or weeks, I like to only buy one or 2 positions per day in order to keep some powder dry if the sell offs continue. If I don't hold positions in any can you rank in order of what you would buy first to last and please feel free to add other companies to this list you feel are good buys. Thanks for all your help.

Q: As an income investor with some growth, I have some US money unused in our TFSA accounts. Could you give me some suggestions on US stocks you feel still have good valuations. I am lower in Tech, Consumer and industrial sectors.
Thanks so much!

Q: Rank the following stocks in which you would own/purchase for growth over next 5 plus years, sector and risk are not a priority.

Also what are you thoughts on recent earnings for RKT and also regarding the billion dollar buyback they announced if yahoo is correct and their float is 112 million (assuming because of IPO lots of stock are in lockup?) with share price of $21.6. That accounts for roughly 41.3 percent of the outstanding shares. Is this a big move for a event ipo... is it bullish?

Q: My portfolio is a little out of balance when it comes to healthcare stocks.

I am considering: WELL.CA, VEEV.US, GH:US, SYK.US, BIIB.US, ABBV:US, AMGN:US. (I already own IHI and BAX)
Are there others that you would add to the list?
Is there an ETF that you would recommend?
Could you please rank the above stocks with regards to 3-5 year hold?
I sold my position in GUD about a year ago.

Thanks!!
