Q: Thank you for your article on Canadian stocks that pay US dividends. A substantial portion of my investments are in US dollar stocks and a US money market fund. Would ZUS.u provide a good alternative to a portion of the money market fund. It pays over 3% but it does seem very large and is relatively new. Can you suggest any other US$ fixed income alternatives?

Q: I recently took profit in my TSFA US holdings. Which 2-3 US companies would be your recommendation?
Q: Google is a frustrating stock, although I think it is under-rated and continue to have faith in it. But just when it reaches a new high, it pulls back again. Slow and steady seems to be the name of the game with this one. This sell-off seems overdone to me. The miss mostly due to the fine so why would anyone sell? Your thoughts on earnings?
Q: I'm looking for a 'reasonable' way to approach the 5G world as it rolls out over the next few years. With so much being said about this technology, is there a way to approach this with Canadian companies? While the companies I note are not really comparable I mention them only as potential candidates to look at. Would you see an investor better off to be in a large cap such as BCE or lean towards a small cap such as BYL? Would the cable companies be worth a look? What other companies are likely to benefit from the 5G rollout that you would suggest looking at? I am comfortable with risk so small cap and volatility is ok.
I'm more interested in what companies I should be researching and potentially adding to my portfolio.
Thanks

Q: hello 5i:
I'm underweight a few US sectors and waiting for a small market correction. Could you give me your top 2 blue chip names, and top 2 growth names in each of the following sectors: industrials, technology, health care and consumer staples. Thanks, and I realize that the US is not your focus.

Q: IRBT dropped after earnings the other day, and continues to sink lower. I bought a couple of years ago as a play on AI with the intention of a 10 year plus hold. Have fundamentals changed? Is there a reason to continue to hold?
Q: I’m concerned that growth at Amazon is slowing and that maybe a switch to Google is a better choice for a long term hold. Your thoughts? Or other companies you prefer?
Thank you

Q: Portfolio analytics says I am low in healthcare so that means pretty much US companies. I already have 3.5% in Abbot but see you referring to Medtronic as attractive quite often. Since they are both in the medical device category, does this make buying MDT to similar of a purchase to ABT? Would I be better switching to MDT or look at something else in the sector. Some capital gains if I do switch.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi all,
I had limited Healthcare exposure (only from small positions in VXUS and VGRO). Recently added Abbvie and Pfizer on price weakness. Combined these 2 equal about 5% of my Holdings.
3 questions:
1-Comments on ABBV latest quarter? (Seems good)
2-Good Entry point for these companies for a long term hold?
3-Do these 2 companies compliment each other well or should I consider adding another stock or ETF for more Healthcare exposure?
Thanks as always for the great service!

Q: When a company like 3 M has a day like this one dropping by over 25 %, how should one react.
I am trying to think calmly in terms of fundamentals.
So is this still a good company with safe dividends ?
Are earnings moving in the right direction, if not why, isn't it ?
Is there a fundamental change in the business that is longer lasting?
