Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I've owned Illumina about 18 months, I bought for the long term, safe holding, but since last earnings, it's been a terrible performer. It makes 3% of my total holdings and I'm now back to even on my investment.

I really like ILMN for its price history and growth of revenue, EPS, stock price, equity as well as great management. Honestly, I wanted to increase my position to 5% but with this terrible momentum I'm wondering if I should exit (in whole or in part) and wait for the price to settle.

Your thoughts on ILMN long term outlook please and if I should sit and stay, get i further in or out?

Q: Can you provide a current assessment of each of these. Both have taken a little step down in the past few months. Can you summarize why each pulled back and whether the events that caused it were a blip or a change in fundamentals that one should be concerned about. For a 5 year hold which is better or would you advise equal parts of each?

Q: What is your favorite health care pick for a growth / aggressive growth investor with at least a $1 billion market cap? Perhaps you can list 2 and rank them in order of preference. I'm indifferent as to whether the company is Canadian or U.S., just looking for your favorite growth picks.

Q: Hello 5i,
Us health and cad health stocks give me a headache ! My list of dogs is long and they bite. I’ve even held ibb for three years and sold it at a loss in December! (Gain on the currency- only).
1) should I keep ILMN after this most recent report or technically is it too about to bite?
2) not including big pharma, is there a US asset 5i can suggest that is not too expensive yet shows promise?
Thank you!

Q: Hi
What would the BE portfolio performance be without CSU Constellation Software be as holding over time? What if it was a company listed outside of Canada. With this thought, are there any companies outside of Canada that you would consider the same caliber as CSU (same sector is not important to me)? Sorry for the outside of Canada question but I am hoping to add some diversification over the next few years.
Thank you
J
