Q: Hi 5i,

Currently own both LLY & ISRG. They have become a smaller percentage of my portfolio over the past year and I am currently looking to consolidate by selling one to purchase the other.

From the perspective of a 5+ year hold, which stock do you believe to have the greatest growth potential from here?

Thank you.

Greg C.

Q: I currently only own AMGN is the biotech/medical sector. I am considering re-entring NOVO after the hit it is taking. Would you recommend 'catching the falling knife', purchasing LLY which appears to be suffering in sympathy with NOVO or an alternate to these two?
With appreciation,

Q: Team, I sold LLY from a 4% to a 1% position at $950ish. It’s come down a lot and has been negative to flat recently. Is this a stock you would start adding back? ISRG is a 5% and Well a 3% with LLY at 1%. 5+ year horizon. Is there a different Healthcare firm I should be looking at?

Could you please suggest 3 or 4 U.S. healthcare companies that might work out for a 5 yr+ return. Please put in order of ratings and advise why you like them.
THank you

Q: Hello, I've been holding UHN in my RRSP for a while, but the stock has taken a significant hit with a 33% loss. Given its current stagnation, I'm thinking of selling it and reallocating the funds. I have a few options in mind: I could buy a call option with a strike price of $79 expiring on Dec 27, which might give me a chance to recover some losses if the stock rebounds. Alternatively, I could sell UHN and use the proceeds to increase my stake in other healthcare stocks, such as LLY or ISRG, which I believe have more potential. Or, I could cut my losses entirely and exit the healthcare insurance sector. Which direction makes the most sense? Thanks

Q: There was an article in the Globe and Mail today by David Rosenberg about the aging population and he suggested health care related investments such as health care REITS, pharma, devices, and services. What do you think of this idea and can you give me a few recommendations in canada and the US for each of the 4 categories (health reits, pharma, devices, sefrvices)? A mix of ETFS and individual stocks would be great.

Q: I enjoy all the questions that pass through. I’m not into day trading but certainly add a couple swing trades in as a boost as well as selling calls.

With the question you answered about Canadian companies for day trading would you please provide a few US names that would fit your criteria.

Thank you.

Q: I've done well with LLY. Is it time to move to something like Intuitive? I also own Stryker. Is there another name you'd favour?

Q: Similar to my last question, but looking to the US, I am interested in having a group of companies that are great companies and want to develop a grouping of these -whether they have a dividend or not, as part of my portfolio. Companies that have a competitive advantage, great leadership, quality assets, not too high debt and continue to execute with continuous improvement. Could you give me what you consider to be the best Great US Companies for each sector or industry. Thank you.
