Q: Hi,
I already own some MA but I want to add more exposure to this sector. Which of these companies would you suggest for a long term hold with minimal volatility? (I'm not sure why why my TD webroker trading platform lumps CRM into the same category as the others but it does?)
Is there a credit card ETF you like?
Also, are there any equivalent Canadian stocks?

Q: PLC is of interest to me but it seems to trade at a premium multiple - wondering whether there is a US listed company that would be an alternative...preferably with a dividend? Thanks as always.

Q: In response to a question about a subscriber's portfolio you said “KO and JNJ we would consider less attractive for various reasons. We might add VZ and PFE instead.”. I am holding JNJ in a non-registered account with a cost base of $58.36/share. JNJ is 2.5% of a diversified portfolio. Is it still worth making the switch for PFE? Over the years, JNJ seemed to be a much better managed company than PFE. What has changed?

Q: I have owned JPM, TD and BNS for a few years. The thinking was it would enable me to spread my investments outside of Canada. Given the lacklustre performance of JPM and the fact that TD has significant US assets and BNS is international, I am thinking of swapping JPM for VISA (or MC if you think that is better) to get financial assets that may act just a bit differently than the banks. Does this thesis make sense?

Appreciate your insight.
