Q: I have 2 questions.
I am looking to buy a few / up to 3 high dividend yielding US stocks for an income portfolio. What could you recommend ?
Looking to hold these US dividend stocks for at least 5 years, does the exchange rate and the premium to buy a US stock matter ? Or is that a long enough time horizon to migitate most of the exchange risk . Thank you

Q: I would like to add a good, US dividend-paying stock in either the tech or healthcare sector. Currently, I own JNJ in healthcare and IBM in tech; please provide recommendations in both sectors that would complement my current holdings. I am looking for stability; a secure, good dividend (either ~3%, or ~2% with good dividend growth); and anticipate a holding period of forever. Please also indicate your top recommendation for each sector, given my notes. Thank you.

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: I own the above noted stocks relating to healthcare at roughly 1% weighting each. I am fine with hanging onto GUD and waiting but I was wondering if the other two are worth hanging onto or if I should move onto something else in the sector.
When adding more (approximately 5 to 10% of overall portfolio) to this sector would you recommend an etf or specific stocks?
Any recommendations (Canada, US or Int'l) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Brian

Q: I have small position in CELG (about 2%). With the recent weakness in the last week, would you suggest holding onto it, or even buying more? If I were to sell is there another healthcare stock you would suggest?

Q: Good Morning Team,

Would you switch NXPI for GIlD?

NXPI isn't really going anywhere after the cash offer by Qualcomm (is it still on?) and has no dividend.
After the initial hesitation, the recent deal by GILD seems to be welcomed by the market.

So, I guess my question is: which one has the most upside potential at this point?

As always,thanks for your wise input.
