Investment Q&A

Q: I hold two small positions, which combine to about 2.5%, in New Gold Mining and Triple Flag Precious Metals. I am considering a switch to Lilly Pharmaceuticals. At the moment, my exposure to the materials and health care sectors are about 5% each: this would change my weighting to 2.5% materials and 7.5% health care.

My questions are which of LLY or (TFPM + NGD) have a more favourable outlook on a three-year horizon, and would this potential impact on my portfolio diversification outweigh any potential gains?

Q: What is the expected profit and share price growth for Danaher over the next few years? I already own ISRG. Would you expect DHR to outperform SYK or LLY going forward?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi Team,
Currently for healthcare exposure I own VEEV and WELL. I was considering replacing VEEV with either LLY or UNH. Would this be advisable? If so, which one would you recommend? Also, regarding Well would you recommend continuing to hold it; or selling it to make a switch for either LLY or UNH as well? What sort of mix here would you recommend? I am looking for long term growth here. Lastly...do you see the healthcare sector in general to be a good place to be right now?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Good Morning, Can I please get your opinion on the recent earnings of Viemed and Profound Medical? Are they worth holding for several more quarters, or is it perhaps time to move on. I know you don't have many ideas for Canadian healthcare stocks, other than WELL (which I own), but if you wanted to switch to another CDN or US healthcare stock, what might you consider? Thanks. Brad

Q: I have been watching NVDA grow to an ever more out-sized percentage of my portfolio, and have been meaning to trim, but have delayed while I consider where to put the money.

Can you recommend some US growth options in either the consumer cyclical or healthcare sectors? I have a 5-10 year time range.

Q: LLY stock price is struggling lately. Do you have insight to the reasons for the drop? I am interested in a purchase but would like to avoid catching a falling knife. I would appreciate your insight. Thanks you.

Q: My healthcare sector is very low. I will buying for within my TFSA account and wonder if the ETF XHC would be good ? I can also buy 3 US healthcare companies as I would have enough funds to do so. What would be the best 3 US healthcare companies you would buy if this is preferred over the EFT?

Thanks

Q: I have been having a hard time pulling the trigger on Eli Lilly.

It has doubled in the last year.

I know that it is recommended, but it looks potentially overvalued.

Does there long term financials justify the current price?

Should I continue to wait for a pullback, that may never come;)

Q: Out of NVO and LLY, which one would own today over a 3-year period? What kind of gains can we expect over that period?

Q: Hi All,

I have a really nice gain shorter term gain on LLY thanks to your recommendation of 125% which is down a little from the high.
Is LLY on the over valued side now and starting to correct? Should I sell it and move into another Healthcare name and if so I'd love a few recommendations. I already own a partial position in UNH and ABBV. I see UNH has dropped and may have some issues with the government should they be stayed away from for now? Thanks for your service.

Q: I own LLY and GEHC and am looking to add CVS or SYK? I'm actually open to selling LLY or GECH, but my point is I'd like to keep 3.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Q: Thanks to 5i, over the recent past, I have DCA these stocks, holding less than 5% with room to add based on your advice.
a) 3% - AXON VRT HPS ISRG LMN
b) 2% - BKNG CLS LLY NVDA CELH
c) 1% - POWL NXT EXP
Please rank those that you would be comfortable adding to [DCA] now - with target percentages. For example, would you add to AXON first and, if so, to what percentage.

Q: For a TFSA, what are the 10 U.S. stocks that you would recommend ?

Gratefully,

Q: Hello, I recently sold my rental property in 2022, and I now have funds sitting in the bank, earning interest. My ultimate goal is to invest this money wisely and create a portfolio that can serve as an inheritance for my loved ones. I am currently in the process of assembling a collection of high-quality stocks.

For me, the presence or absence of dividends is not a decisive factor when selecting stocks. Could you kindly recommend two top-performing stocks in each sector of the global market? These core holdings will play a crucial role in achieving my long-term financial objectives.

As of now, I have already purchased shares in NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), Alphabet (GOOGL), Canada: Goeasy (GSY), Nuvei (NVEI), Definity Finacial (DFY), Boyd Group(BYD), Thomson Reuters (TRI), Aritzia (ATZ), and Nutrien (NTR).

Thank you in advance for your valuable insights.

Q: Good Morning
These stocks are in my wife's US Riff account
What US stock or stocks would you recommend as an addition to this list?
She is overweight in both finance and tech in her Canadian Riff so looking for alternative suggestions with some growth and a modest dividend?
Thks

Q: What inning are each of these companies in (in terms of total return for an investor buying today), and are they both appropriate for a 3-5 year holding period?

Thank you

Q: I have held PBH in my cash account for sometime and am up a paltry 6%. I'm considering selling and replacing with either LLY, HD or TRI. Looking for greater growth and willing to take on moderate risk. 3-5 year hold. I know these companies are apples and oranges, but I would appreciate your views on risk and reward for PBH, LLY, HD and TRI and which you would recommend I hold going forward. Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
I was debating if it was time to trim some NVDA after the big gains the stock has had over the past while. Do you have any quality growth names that would you suggest buying with the funds if I do decide to trim at this point? From my end I was thinking of HPS.A...would this be advisable? Or perhaps ISRG. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi Group what's going on with FFH this am. Is it a buy sell or hold is it a good time to add more as i already own it. Also what's you top 3 picks in (stocks or ETFs /US or Cad ) Financials / Health care /Industrials /Tech / Consumer Disc...Thanks for your help it is much appreciated

Q: From the media: “ Amgen stock slouched Wednesday after a Lilly exec called the company's early-stage test results for a weight-loss drug "a bit underwhelming."

Huh? What did they expect a competitor to say? I thought the quarterly results were good and the new drug seems quite promising.

What is 5i's take on the AMGN recent quarter (which beat) and future prospects? Wouldn’t it be better to buy AMGN after the sell-off than pay the overhyped price commanded by LLY?
