Q: i've owned a half position in Edwards Lifesciences for several years in a basket of several important US medical companies. Certainly I see an opportunity to create a full position at these low levels. However I'm primarily a dividend investor close to retirement, and Edwards does not pay me a dividend. Is the company ever likely to pay a dividend ? What is the likely future for this company ten or twenty years out.

Q: Is the decline over the last three months related to the general decline of higher growth stocks? And what do you think of the recent results that led to a big drop last week? I'm wondering if it's still a good long-term hold or if not, is there another health care stock in the higher risk, higher growth category that you like more?

Q: I own these three stocks and for consolidation reasons was thinking of selling one, but only if it makes sense. In terms of your confidence level in these companies, is there a clear ranking of them or are all three of them pretty solid with equivalent long-term growth opportunities?

Q: Hello Team 5i,

I recently sold GUD, my only CDN. or US. Health Care holding. Could you recommend one or more replacements for me? Not sure what your current suggested health Care portfolio weighting should be but that might figure into your response.

I read something recently that indicated that the S&P/TSX Health Care index is down 58% between March 2021 and 2022, might that be correct? If so, would you say this would be a good time to be buying?

Thanks for your wisdom
