Q: Hello 5i:
can you advise on the ETF HQH? I'd like more US exposure, in US dollars and would see this as a very small part of the portfolio. I'm attracted by the yield, and by the fact that Biotech in general has been pretty beaten up; meaning little downside with good upside. I'm thinking of holding in a TFSA, if an investment is made.
thanks

Q: Hi,
We need some help with revamping our health care stock strategy. Money not needed for 10 -15 years. Our health care stocks are SIS, GUD, Gilead, and PLI. We are underwater on all except SIS (thx it's been a great performer). I'd like to sell Gilead (owned for about 3-4 years and down 20%) and come up with a better US$ pick since there are so many more options in the states. What would be your best suggestion?
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: Hi Team,
Following a question about Canadian and US health care sector opportunities, I am trying compare and contrast IBB (iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF) with XBI (SPDR S&P Biotech ETF). I realize the former focuses on large companies and has more concentrated positions in top holdings while the latter focuses on small companies with a more even distribution of holdings. What are your thoughts about a risk/return trade off between the two ETFs and what timeframe would you be considering to hold either one for an investment thesis to pan out? If you had to pick one, which would it be and why?
Many thanks, Michael

Q: Would you put money into biotech seasonally ? In the past I have done well on Celgene ... However , I have taken quite a hit on Gillead, so I am cautious.
Or should I look at the ETFs for a broader/safer play ?

Q: Hi Folks
Is there a Canadian dollar way to play the Biotech industry. Would it be correct to say that IBB would be a US dollar purchase?
Thanks for all you do

Q: What is your outlook for US biotech sector for the next 2 years? There are concerns about drug price negotiation by the Trump
administration. Do you think this is already priced in? I plan to take a position using IBB.

Q: I'm tweaking holdings within my US portfolio. I currently own IBB and NVO. I would consider selling one or both, to free up cash to purchase CSCO or JCI. Would you consider this a prudent move? Is there any other US equity that you would prefer over the ones I have listed?
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi,
I am holding RBC Life Science and Tech mutual fund (RBF1030)which is a nice mix of U.S. technology and health care stocks.
What would be a good ETF to replace it or, alternatively, which stocks combination would replace it advantageously ?
Thanks again for your exceptional service,
Jacques

Q: Hi, My current exposure to the health care sector is less than 2%. I am considering increasing my position to approximately 5% by means of etf (I currently own GUD and GILD approx 1% each). I am considering XLV or IBB for etfs. Which of these (or) any other etf you would recommend? I noted that IBB seems more volatile than XLV when I compared them..I was wondering why?
