Q: Hi 5i, can you give me the names of 4 or 5 large cap pharmaceutical companies that are buyable now. Also I'm looking for 4 or 5 Biotech companies with one drug in the market making money and maybe something in the pipeline that looks like it has a good future? for example TGTX.

Q: I have 2 Stocks in my Portfolio both of which have taken large hits recently resulting in sizeable pullbacks.

Both of these companies seemed to previously be doing well.

Would u say these stocks developed valuation issues or there was a material change in their fortunes currently or perceived going forward?

Would u hold, Buy more or sell these stocks at this point?

Q: I've owned IQLT for a few years now. I've noticed that the VEA top holdings are quite similar to IQLT, but at a significantly reduced MER. Is it really worth paying that much more to continue to hold IQLT? Maybe you have better insight on the differences between the two than I do (?)

Q: Forward metrics for LLY and NVO show roughly the same revenue growth, but LLY shows much better earnings and ROE growth. What, then, is the case for recommending both (other than that the market is big enough for both to appreciate)? I realize that, for drug developers, depth of pipeline and patent expiry are also factors, but for simplicity have assumed that, in these respects, their situations and risks are comparable - in which case, shouldn't things like ROE growth turn out to be decisive?

Q: Hi 5i Team.

I have some names in my TFSA account such as ATD, ATX and ENGH (and maybe some others) that are laggers and would like to move out of them and into something with potentially higher returns.
I also own the other names mentioned above.
What are your thoughts and could you recommend 3 to 5 Canadian and/or US names with the reasons and entry points.
also own NVDA that has grown to a huge percentage of the account.
I know that I should sell some but it has been such a great performer.


Thank you
Joe

Q: Hi. My wife and I are in the process of rebalancing our portfolio. We're in our 70s and our portfolio has treated us well. Unfortunately our winners have grown to create a portfolio that is now 70% tech and 30% cash.

We'd like to bring our Nvidia and Apple holdings from just over 20% for each to around 10 or 12%.

Where would you reinvest the proceeds of the sale outside of the tech sector?
What 5 top US companies and 5 Canadian companies would be your favourites and why?

Thanks
Frank

Q: My daughter recently inherited a substantial sum of money and would like me to invest such in a mix of companies, both in the US and Canada, with a modicum of international companies. She lives in Europe.
Could I respectfully ask if you could offer your chosen six equities in each of the US, Canada and worldwide (in order of preference), including one or two ETF’s, with a mid term (5 - 8 years hold) term. Could you also provide an entry point for each stock?

I do appreciate your guidance…
