Q: A recent Globe & Mail article listed a few examples of medical technology stocks. One could add others - ISRG. Could you comment on this sub-sector and recommend your top 2 or 3 Cdn and US stocks for long-term, and what is it about these that stands out in terms of unique contribution to healthcare and reduced healthcare costs.

Q: Good morning
In keeping with the theme of fewer positions and more concentrated portfolios (higher weights and fewer names you have mentioned in the past).
Which 5 US stocks would you recommend for a US TFSA and for a US RRSP?
Would these be different since tax treatment for these portfolios are different?
Thanks
Victoria

Q: Hi team,
I have not asked about ROKU since May. I have a sizeable position in it as I like its prospects as a major platform provider in the TV streaming space. It has done well this year and every time I am thinking about trimming back, I read another article touting its takeout potential due to its attractive position in the space. There was an article in Barron’s this week speculating that ROKU is now big enough to interest any one of the big tech/media giants. Even AMZN is viewed as a potential buyer even though it is a competitor with its Fire TV services. I know you guys don’t like picking stocks for their buyout potential, but I am wondering about your current outlook on ROKU. It never shows up on your list of favourite U.S. growth stocks and subscribers ask that question almost every week. Is it on your B list?
Thanks again,
dave

Q: I got LEN as part of the Calatlantic takeover which I did quite well on. But these homebuilder stocks are having trouble getting a bid - even when they beat their estimates. I understand what interest rate hikes do to the affordability of their products but those hikes have been gradual and very well communicated. I know US stocks aren't your bread and butter, but am I missing something? is it more about LEN you think?
