Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Portfolio analytics says I am low in healthcare so that means pretty much US companies. I already have 3.5% in Abbot but see you referring to Medtronic as attractive quite often. Since they are both in the medical device category, does this make buying MDT to similar of a purchase to ABT? Would I be better switching to MDT or look at something else in the sector. Some capital gains if I do switch.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi all,

I had limited Healthcare exposure (only from small positions in VXUS and VGRO). Recently added Abbvie and Pfizer on price weakness. Combined these 2 equal about 5% of my Holdings.
3 questions:
1-Comments on ABBV latest quarter? (Seems good)
2-Good Entry point for these companies for a long term hold?
3-Do these 2 companies compliment each other well or should I consider adding another stock or ETF for more Healthcare exposure?

Thanks as always for the great service!

Q: Hi 5i team,

For non registered accounts, when I buy ETFs that invested in US or international stocks, or in US or international bonds, would I have to include the cost of these purchases as foreign properties to be reported on T1135 to CRA?
Thanks.

Q: Can you please advise roughly what percentage of your questions are public vs. private? I thought I got to see everyone's questions (and ANSWERS!) and want to get a better mental model of what I am actually seeing.
Thx,
M.

Q: When a company like 3 M has a day like this one dropping by over 25 %, how should one react.

I am trying to think calmly in terms of fundamentals.

So is this still a good company with safe dividends ?

Are earnings moving in the right direction, if not why, isn't it ?

Is there a fundamental change in the business that is longer lasting?

Q: Have owned these in the past and have made a profit. With all the hype in LNG and a possible rebound in commodities do you see any upside investment in these stocks. Benji Gallagher sees a big jump for BDI but HNL at least pays you to wait. Would like an analysis of both and which one would you prefer for an investment today.
Thanks Gary
