Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Is Walmart getting a bit ahead of itself, baheving like a 2017 tech stock? I am considering selling at these levels. What growth plans and strategies justify the price right now? It seems to me being able to stay competitive with Amazon is not enough to justify its current value. Can it grow into it over the next year or 2?

Q: Hi 5i,

Knowing that the US is not your focus, I would still value your opinion.

I have 30% of my portfolio in cash sitting in a USD margin account and I would like to invest in etfs for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100; could you please suggest etfs that do not pay any yield? I am also looking at IPAY and IWO for some diversification, would you be okay with this? Would there be any significant overlap in all these etfs? What percentage weighting would you have for more growth, medium to high risk tolerance and long term hold ?

Thanks as always. Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

I would like to get your opinion on the following healthcare and industrial stocks I am planning to buy in equal amounts. Would you recommend any other stocks for long term investments under my registered accounts.

Healthcare:- ABBV, MDT,PFE,GILD
Industrials:- HON,ITW, UTX

CELG is at a better value currently. Would you buy that instead of ABBV ?

Appreciate your service.

Thanks

Q: I own OHI (2% weighting) in my RRSP and over the past year have seen a decent run up in the stock. The dividend is now 8%. Can I get your thoughts on the company, short position and if you feel a move out of OHI to either BIIB or PFE would be advisable. Or just add a 2% position in these other two companies? 15+ year investment horizon.
