Q: RE: Health care exposure

Hello, I need to add into the healthcare sector to have proper portfolio diversification.

I sold my CRX shares a while back, and today I am looking buying some CVS and MCK shares.

I might buy GUD in the future but right now I want to buy bigger cap companies.

May I have your opinion on these two companies for LONG term BUY and HOLD strategy?

Thank you very much and have a GREAT day!

Stephane

Q: Hi, I have the above stock in non registered account. As of today I lost $4000 US , bought it at 102 and now $67 $ US. What do you recommend? Sell it and claim loss or wait till it recover or add more to it. I added to it when it became $70 US. But it seems it is not doing well. I appreciate your ultimate decision on it or if there is any US solid stocks that you recommend. Thanks

Q: Whats your take on Defined Maturity Bond ETF's such as BSJK? As I understand it, bonds in the ETF are held to maturity to remove market value risk from rising interest rates. I've aways used ETFs' for bond holdings. However with all the noise on what rising interest rates can do to portfolio values, I'm currently mainly in cash for my fixed income allocation. Instead of buying an ETF, do you think its "practical" for a retail investor to purchase sufficient holdings to be diversified ( and held to maturity ) in order to to accomplish the same "de-risking" without the MER? And lastly how many high quality corporate bond holdings make it diversified?

Q: Your valued experienced and knowledgeable opinion on the second quarter please. Also any comment on Quote: "In terms of our Recapitalization go-private transaction, we are awaiting the decision of the CRTC," added Mr. Redmond.

I still hold shares in this and was even thinking of accepting SIRI shares if this thing happens? Or should I just give it up and move on?

Thanks.....Stephen S

Q: WHEN A COMPANY SAYS IT IS EXPLORING ALTERNATIVES AND HIRES AN INVESTMENT
BANKER TO EXPLORE THOSE ALTERNATIVES; HOW OFTEN WILL A SALE HAPPEN IN YOUR OPINION? I REALIZE THE BOARD WILL ONLY SELL IF THEY GET A GOOD PRICE BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTS AND DO YOU THINK CDI-N IS WORTH HOLDING FOR A POSSIBLE SALE? I DO NOT OWN THIS COMPANY YET BUT WOULD CONSIDER PURCHASING IT. THANKS

Q: Does the drop this week imply a falling knife situation.
How serious would you interpret the arbitration payout to be moving forward.
Does QCOM have the cash flow to cover this?
Will they need to go into debt to manage this?

Do you still feel this is a company fundamentally worth buying or too much negative momentum?

thanks
