Q: Hi Peter

What is your opinion on the following stocks as part of my income portfolio HHL,MKP ,PRV,CIX, WCP and GSY .
do you have any additional suggestions for high tech for an income portfolio


Thank you
Howard

Q: Greetings. In 2021, I took a small tax hit, to shift my "UN" stocks to my TFSA from my non registered... ostensibly to simplify my taxes. Just wondering if, going forward, you folks have heard whether HHL will lose their straight dividend status - or has it already? Thanks.

Q: If you work for a company and you have restrictions on when you can buy and sell a stock. There are only certain times a year you are allowed to buy and sell. For example lets assume any one of those in the top ten holdings of HHL.

My question is can you buy and sell HHL during those restricted periods?

Thanks Jimmy

Q: are the dividends fairly safe on these two, and which one would be the better investment? thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on this ETF?

Thanks

Q: Hi, I hiope that you had a nice holiday. I would like to add an ETF that provides a diversified health care focus. I am also desiring income / over growth. One such
ETF is HHL - Harvest Healthcare Leaders Income ETF. Questions:

1. Are there others that could be considered and if so how would you rank each, including HHL?

2. If I were to purchase HHL, which version should I consider HHL, HHL.B or HHL.U and why.

Thanks Len

Q: Do you know of a similar ETF to IBB that trades in Canadian Dollars? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

If one doesn't need the income that HHL provides, and can buy and sell XHC commission-free, but not HHL, how would you rank these two ETFs? XHC appears to have a better long-term chart.

Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: Peter please give me your opinion on HHL. My wife and I are seniors and depend on our investments for income. Looking for as safe as possible div. with a high yield. We already own Canadian banks, pipelines, power generators. and some reits. Will this give us some diversification in the medical field Any other suggestions? Thanks Ken

Q: Good morning 5i,
I'd like to put some funds into healthcare for a what expect to be 3 to 5 years. Currently, HHL will provide around 8.6% per annum income, but capital gain potential seems limited. DHT.UN meanwhile is currently yielding 2.4% but the analysts I have access to appear optimistic for future share price growth.
I definitely like the HHL income (which I would reinvest in the name quarterly) but wonder if, in your opinion based on current available info, whether or not it would be overly risky to lock down some DHT.UN at current levels instead. I guess an earnings report or two from DHT.UN illustrating how 2021 has gone so far might be helpful in looking ahead, but I'm not aware of any ...?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Peter

Q: You have recommended HHL in several recent answers. I currently hold LIFE and would appreciate your comparison of the two. I would have to declare a small capital gain to make a switch; would you endorse such a move?

Q: How would you compare HHL and NWH.UN for income and outlook ?

Q: I own ZUH and XHC and am thinking of selling them to buy HHL for the big dividend that HHL pays (8.61%) . Is this a good idea? Or am I trading growth potential for dividends and could I actually be making a mistake?

Q: Are there Healthcare ETF's in Canada and in the U.S. that you might recommend? Thank you.

Q: I would like to invest in US healthcare via a Canadian traded ETF - which ones are available - which would you choose and why - do you like the space over the next 3 years - thank you 5i - Peter really excellent National Post column this Saturday - great context on all the noise out there - Ken

Q: I just upgraded to portfolio analytics and one of the suggested is upping my US market exposure plus adding to Healthcare and Industrials. I was looking at the XGI, ZUH, HHL to do this but am open to other suggestions.

Q: My 50 year young daughter is adding $100,000 to a balanced $1m conservative portfolio. Which 2 or 3 etfs (your suggestion or ours) would you suggest that fit a post pandemic world.

Q: What Canadian ETF would you recommend for exposure to Biotech?

Q: Hi 5i,
Further to my previous question about return of capital, you mention that some investors, over time, can see their adjusted cost base go to zero as result of return of capital. What does this signify, that you now own it for $0 cost. Would the investor expect share prices to be severely impaired?
I am trying to decide if one of these health funds might be a lower risk way to generate some stable income while providing lower risk to principal.

Thx
Jim
