Q: I own SYK. My broker has suggested switching it to MDT or TMO.
They all seem pretty much the same to me. What say you?

Q: Sadly, I held on to my position and the share value has gone from bad to worse. I see it is now listed on the Venture. When and why did that happen? When do they report their fiscal year's results? Do you have any info on estimates? I know you removed it from your portfolio and gave a fairly negative assessment on their performance, but will ask any way...is there any hope for improvement once tax loss selling is done?
Thanks for your good service.

Q: Further to a previous question about your suggestion for 4-5 core holdings in the U.S., I notice that you did not suggest any Healthcare stocks. Could you comment on this - do you like any? I don't see much in Canada to choose from.

Thanks so much
Margaret

I would appreciate you comments on the following questions:
1. Does key management have meaningful share ownership in the company?
2. How long has key management been at the helm?
3. Would you expect any further dividend cuts?
4. Do you think their debt is manageable and reasonable?
5. Do they own any real estate. If yes, how much worth?

thanks

Q: NXPI along with KODIAK Science which is up more than 100% in the last month, what are your opinions of the two stocks?
About the PE ratio - on my Globe Invest it has for instance 98.4 TTM (I do not know what that is), is that number too high for you if you were looking to purchase a stock with that number? What would be a more comfortable number? Thanks for providing info that the average investor would not know. Dennis
