Investment Q&A

Q: I hold these 8 US Heathcare stocks. Each are about 1.5% of my holdings. I would like to consolidate the 8 down to about 4 holdings. Which ones would you sell and which ones would you add to? Thanks for your great ongoing advice.

Q: I bought LLY on your advice a few weeks ago and it has been declining ever since. I am now down 14.6%, marking the steepest decline over this same period of any stock I own. All things being equal, my general rule of thumb is to cut the chord when stocks decline by 15% to minimize future losses. In LLY's case, I hold it in a non-registered account and can thus claim a tax loss. I confess to being disappointed by the stock's recent performance as part of my purchasing decision was driven by your very strong endorsement immediately prior to my purchase. (You had rated the company as a 9/10 for safety and 9/10 for growth.) If you were me, would you wait for LLY to eventually turn around (as I'm sure it will at some point) or are there greener pastures out there?

Q: Hi Group i am treating the above stocks as core positions. I am concerned that some of the list are taking big hits so should i take profits while there is still some $ left in the black . FFH is an example where my profits was 40% now less than 10% ? (this is my worst performer so please answer specifically what you suggest buy, sell or hold). . Please advise if I should take some profits or just ride it out. List in order of preference...Buy sell ,or hold Thanks for your thoughts on this dilemma

Q: If I had a little cash today to buy in my RRSP, which has a ten year horizon and generally follows your balanced portfolio, what would you think would be a good name to purchase based on todays activity?

Q: Your answer to Kxs earnings before the call took place was positive. But the stock is down over 6%. What happened that the market didn’t like. I know it’s a bad overall market day but Kxs is leading the way down after decent results.

Q: Hi group in what order would you add Regardless of sector to the above stocks that i presently own + would you wait after the big drop in the markets today or slowly average in

also what your general thoughts (short comment will suffice) on the markets going fwd

Q: Hello,

I have small investments in LLY, ISRG, and UNH within the health sector. With the recent news about increased competition for LLY in the weight control product market, should I take advantage of the price decrease to increase my stake in LLY, or would you recommend another biopharmaceutical company?

Thanks. Esther

Q: Could you rank the above stock to currently for a long term hold. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i: I ask about LLY with the big drop today caused by the Viking Therapeutics announcement. I will appreciate your comments. Sincerely. Barbara

Q: Hi group what's you top pick in the top 6 sectors.( In order of preference with some dialog on each pick). Is it time to go all in verses averaging down. Days like yesterday should shake loose so supers buys?

Also can you comment on risk (i am 74 yrs old) along with a few stocks or elf suggestions in Bitcoin / digital in general

Q: What are your top three non-tech CDR picks?

Q: Can you recommend a few US non tech stocks that you see have good upside?
Thanks

Q: I'm looking for more momentum in the healthcare sector for the next 3-5 years, at least. I am a long term investor. I currently have ABBV and SYK but am thinking about moving on and buying LLY and ISRG as replacements. Are you still bullish on both LLY and ISRG, and do you think that such a switch makes sense in this market? Thank you!

Q: Lly has been hit hard last few days presumably as a result of news that a competitor has another weight loss drug in the works. Is the sell off over done in your view? Would you continue to hold? Thanks.

Jason

Q: If you have to create new balance portfolio that includes CDR and CDN stocks.. Which 25 stocks portfolio would you recommend that includes both.

Do you think you would create new balance portfolio in the future that includes CDR.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Can you comment on a current view of NVO and LLY given the sharp recent pullback.Is their moats still valid in GLP drugs?

Q: You recently recommended LLY as a buy at $850/875. Today it is trading at $838. Any sense of why it has been dropping so much lately, and would you recommend a buy at current prices?

Q: Looking to initiate 1/2 positions in LLY, IFC, and DOL, all for long term holds (5+ years).

Regarding your conviction to buy today, please comment, rate (1-10) and suggest a target buy range [great, okay].

Thank you,

Peter.
