Q: Good Morning Peter & Team

Was looking for a good US name with some growth potential and a strong dividend and read your Aug 27 answer for John. Looked at ABBV today and it is down almost 9% and volume is almost triple the Average. In looking for news I have become confused after finding an Aug 26 article saying "AbbVie stock toppled after reporting its earnings." But it appears it didn't topple end of last week but rather, experienced the sharp decline today.

Should I be buying this on the dip? Or is there reasons to hold off for now? And if so, are there 3 other US names you might recommend which have good growth potential moving forward accompanied by a better than average dividend.

Thanks for all you do.

Q: We have done very well with Apple in an RRSP account. So much so that it has grown to represent 15% of the portfolio. While I do believe Appl can still grow in value I think it would be prudent to sell some for diversification purposes. Can you suggest a good US company to buy? We also hold Disney in this account.

Q: I would like to double my Health sector % as recommended by Portfolio Analytics. I could also increase US portion of my portfolio but either Can or US is fine.
Current holdings and percentage of total portfolio are:
GUD (.75%), WELL (2.85%), ABBV (.81%)
Could increase existing holdings but have also been looking at US stocks CI and MED.
Your thoughts on approach and recommendations, including additions/deletions/other equities I have not mentioned would be appreciated. Dividend is not essential.
As always, many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,
With all the recent changes at AT&T is it still a good hold? I've had it for a number of years and am still about level. The dividend has been good which helps but less now.
Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi, My respected 5i team
During the March 2020 market correction, your team provided a special report which was a big help for me to take advantage of the market correction. I bought some solid names at a discount as the report recommended. Are you guys still doing this kind of special report in the future?
Could you please recommend 5 solid names to buy in Canadian and US markets respectively if there is a market correction again? Do you think it is a good time to buy them now during the current market  drawdown?
Pls list the names in the order from your most favorite to the least. Thanks in advance!
