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

Q: Hello,

We need to add US Healthcare to our portfolio. We already own GSK and MRK. We are looking at Zimmer holdings ( ZMH ) or Stryker corp ( SYK ). With the aging population, knees and hips replacment should be on the rise.
Could you give me your opinion on these two and possibly an alternative if you don't know them.

Thanks

Q: I normally do not consider investing in debentures mainly because I really do not understand them however, I have come across one that looks interesting: Premium Brands Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures (PBH.DB.C-TSX).
Your insight in this security would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Attracted by the concept of a cost plus airline, a low PE and a large dividend I have been in CHR.B from near its inception. Its recent arbitration win was received with very mixed forecasts - for example 1yr Targets of $2.25 (NBF) and $4.00 (Scotia). High debt is cited as a major issue but it seems justified to upgrade the fleet within the protection of the CPA with AC. High costs which likely flow from AC's prior mismanagement are also a hurdle. Management seems aware of and focussed on their cost issues. Is Management seen by the street to be incapable and is their strategic direction seriously flawed?

Q: Hey Peter,

What stocks are new/exciting that folks are not asking about? I am looking for something to bolt on to my core holdings to add a little sizzle.

Q: A suggestion rather than a comment. When searching the company reports, the indexes show the current rating beside all the entries for a company even if there have been more than one report. For example, the BAD report for May 8/12 shows the current rating of B+ whereas the actual report of May 8/12 was A-. If the index rating showed the actual rating at the time of each report this would provide a useful perspective re momentum.

Q: Hey 5I Team,
I am having a hard time buying a consumer staple stock such as: ul,tatyy,syy,pg,nsrgy,krft,kmb,hnz,gis,cag,clx,cpb as they have not met my minimum threshold of 4% dividend. Should I wait for this to happen as that sector seems overvalued? I do not want to buy in and get hit like the RIET sector. Currently what would be your best pick out of these, or do you have another?
You guys are the best!

Q: Hi, I'm looking to add a US growth stock. Currently only hold AAPL and XLF in the US. What do you think of Priceline (PCLN) as an investment today at its current price for a 5-year hold? Is there a better US growth stock you prefer? I understand the US isn't your area of specialty but any comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I have owned CGI Group for a long time and I am becoming concerned about the rumours of their accounting and reliablity of their stated earnings. It has been questioned by Veritas,and Deutsche Bank analysts lately and I noticed the Caisse sold a large block last week. Would you endorse a switch from CGI to Constellation Software or Enghouse?

Q: I was thinking of buying these 2 REITS: NWH.UN &NPR.UN? The pay out ratios are good, good ROE & PE decent now. Long-term hold-sell my XRE ETF and buy these two. Or do you think I should wait for the US to announce plans to reduce bond buying-long bond rates go up & REITS go down in pr again?
