Q: I have set 8% sector target and have invested 50% - GUD 15% of total target, TD Health Sciences 11%, and 9% each to ISRG, ILMN, and COV.
If I drop TD Fund, then 60% available to reinvest - what names and allocations do you advise?
Thx for your excellent advice,
Sam

Q: You have mentioned that you dislike companies that tend to put out too many press releases. I own Reliq Health Technologies and am often surprised at what they consider worth communicating. The other day the press release headline was "Reliq Health Technologies receives second hardware shipment". Today they put out " Reliq Health Technologies Kick Off Patient Onboarding at Rio Grande Valley Health Alliance in Texas". I'm not sure that these qualify as huge milestones that the public and shareholders really need to know and they seem to be self-promotional. Would you consider RHT as a company that does too much self-promoting and does it cause you any concern?

Q: Just a comment to Curtis' question about the 8% drop in CRH yesterday. The consensus is that the drop is due to hurricane Florence. CRH has many clinics in the Carolina's and surrounding states. This also happened with a hurricane last year where clinics were closed for days and patients appointments had to be rescheduled, which impacted revenues. However none of the clinics are very close to the coast so the impacts should be minimal. CRH has stated that they will make up for any closures by keeping clinics open later once they have reopened.

Q: Would you please provide your current perspective on Helius?
I’m particularly interested in your view on what potential there may be should PONS and related therapy be found to have good efficacy. In other words could they effectively monitize this technology free of direct competition? It seems the actual equipment would be inexpensive to produce.
Thanks, Hugh

Q: It seems to me that when 5i members seek guidance regarding possible investments in American healthcare companies, Pfizer seems to be a common recommendation by your team. If I'm correct that you consider it to be a good investment at this time, what exactly are the reasons you believe this to be the case. If I'm wrong, what other American Companies do you favour currently. I'm willing to accept some risk but I'm really looking for a company that can balance off some of the Canadian small caps that I have in my portfolio that I'm purchased with your guidance. i.e. Knight, Covalon and Reliq. Again, thank-you for your invaluable guidance.

Q: Hi terrific team,

Earlier last year, in the health maintenance sector, you had mixed views on Molina Healthcare (MOH-N) , Aetna(aet-n), Humana(hum-n).
What would be your views now on the best stocks for growth in this sector and are they any ETFs which would cover them well ?
Thousand thanks,
JD
