Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
I currently hold PFE, GUD and COV (although this may go after being patient a little longer) in healthcare.
I am currently considering ABBV as an addition and wondering what your thoughts are on it at this time.
Any other US healthcare suggestions that might have caught your eye recently ?

Thanks
Mike

Q: Hey 5i,

Incredible stuff here. Thank you.
Looking for some confirmation.
With relative balance between growth and dividend stocks.
US listed inside an RRSP. Longterm holding. Looking to buy slowly on this wild ride or if and when it plummets.
Could you recommend a starter bundle 8-10 stocks.

Thanks again!

Q: Looking to add a US healthcare stock. I currently have PFE ( 6% weighing ) and was looking to add GILD. I'm concerned that there might be some overlap between PFE and GILD - if so, can you recommend and rank some others that I can look at ? Appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Q: Good morning everyone. Would you beable to give me a few ideas of value stocks and also growth stocks that will be moving in this market. If you have time possibly in both Canadian and US mkarkets. Enjoy reading all your articles. Thank you for all your insight.

Q: Am needing to get more health exposure into my portfolio. So the question is with say 20 000 to invest, do you put it all into ZLV ETF or is there more growth potential by buying two or three quality stocks like JNJ, PFE and GILD.

Q: Can you recommend a good ETF probably US based, which has companies in the forefront of corona vaccine development/demonstration, as well as corona related testing and diagnosis.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I follow the DOW stocks a lot as they are a barometer on the market. They form the core of my portfolio and I add and trim around them. You mentioned in an earlier question that big caps are likely the quickest to recover. Earlier I lightened up on some high beta tech names and have some dry powder. On the Dow, which ones do you see as are the top 3-4 names having the potential for the strongest recovery over the next year or so. I manage my portfolio closely, so I am not concerned about sectors or weightings here. There are a lot of candidates and some have really been beaten up and others not so much. The financials have been beaten up, but I stay in Canada for those anyway, and I have no interest in the oils.

Thanks again for the insight on the DOW stocks. Thanks for your great work, as some days you are turning out answers faster than I can read them.

Q: thanks as always for your level headed thinking. I have a number of CAN dividend stocks as the core of my holdings. I now have cash that I want to deploy over the next couple of months. what are your top 5-10 US stocks (no regard to sector) that you recommend based on a 5 year hold.

Q: I get most of my income from dividends. Please name 4 sectors where dividends might be relatively Less likely to be suspended and 5 companies that will do best with the criteria mentioned. I understand that at this time it is hard to project but I ask for relative possibilities with the current situation that may change. 
thanks

Q: Goodmorning 5l team,
Thank you very much for your response to my earlier question regarding selling cocered calls. You mention focusing on dividend paying stocks in your current strategy. Is it possible to have a list of which companies you may be looking at currently for this should strategy?
Thanks

Q: Hoping this week will provide some good buying opportunities. Could you give some recommendations for a healthcare company, Canada or U.S., that pays a dividend. Preferably something with dividend growth.

Q: Could you please comment on their results and outlook?
Should I keep it?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: Hi 5i
Recent takeovers have left me with uninvested funds. I'm looking to re-invest that cash into income generating (US stocks preferably) undervalued positions providing 3 - 5 % dividends.
What would you suggest I have a look at ?
Also, PA shows that I'm light on utilities and telecoms but the suggestions don't need to be limited to these sectors.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Looking at a 3 to 5 year time horizon, please rank the above companies as to total growth prospects. Thanks again. RAM

Q: Do you have any idea why PFE dropped so much in August 2019?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Note: This is a repeat of an earlier question that I for which I have not received an answer.
I have some additional funds to add to one of the above companies. Which one seems better and why? Much appreciated as usual. RAM

Q: I hold Pfe now and okay. Does it make sense to replace Pfe with ZTS for better growth

Q: These two companies have dropped below my preferred 2.5% level , not so much because they have done so badly but more so because the others have done so well. I would appreciate your thoughts on the future of the two companies named.

Q: In my RRSP account - I am looking to add 1 more company to the above list. I am somewhat of a conservative growth investor - would like something that will increase over time yet paying respect to risk. I am looking at BIP.UN or SLF - can you provide your opinion and maybe suggest others that you feel might "fit" ? Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Based on my portfolio review, I need to increase my pharmaceutical weighing. Although you do not follow US companies closely, could you give me your best recommendations for 3 US pharmaceutical Companies. My only holding at the moment is Pfizer. Could you give me your opinion on this company please?
