Q: I've held this now for close to two years...my cost is about $ 77 per share... I should have sold it in 2014 when it was approaching $ 120.00 ...such is life. Should I stick with it or just walk away and put my money to use elsewhere ? If so, a couple of US stocks you'd recommend (besides JPM which I own)?

Q: I have made a double on this ETF which follows the S&P 500. It is a full position in my portfolio.

Would now be a good time to sell and switch into the Russell 2000?

If so would XSU be better than IWO due to the CAD being lower than average for the last few years.

Or would it be good to a half position into XSU, and buy Alphabet?

Cheers.

Q: Hello, my previous advisor had this stock in my rrsp, I have a 3.4% weighting in my portfolio, but is 15% of my rrsp account. I am down 11% currently. It has a decent dividend, but it seemed to have peaked during the spring of 2013 and has been trending down ever since. Do you think it's worth holding or should I look for better opportunities. Thanks.

Q: I currently have no exposure to the health care sector in my portfolio. I'm looking for companies that pay a bit of a dividend which is sustainable and have the ability to provide some steady capital appreciation. I realize that American stocks are not your expertise, but keeping my criteria in mind and watching what's going on with Canadian health care, I would appreciate your opinion on three American companies. Gilead, JNJ, and Walgreens.
Looking to the future, which of these companies has the best prospects? (keeping capital gain and dividend growth in mind)
Which 2 Canadian companies who you add to diversify my health care holdings?
Thanks for your guidance.
