Q: Hi, My current exposure to the health care sector is less than 2%. I am considering increasing my position to approximately 5% by means of etf (I currently own GUD and GILD approx 1% each). I am considering XLV or IBB for etfs. Which of these (or) any other etf you would recommend? I noted that IBB seems more volatile than XLV when I compared them..I was wondering why?

Q: Hi 5i,

I am an unforunate holder of EDT. It is recently crashed to earth and had an immediate "dead cat bounce."

I have read your other answers on this stock.

I was thinking it was dead money but it has been rising quite nicely since the "dead cat bounce." Up over 7% today.

I am wondering weather to hang on, or claim my losses now.

I would appreciate any comments you have.

Q: Good day,

I know that your focus is not the US but the landscape is changing with the election so perhaps you could just be a sounding board. I have a large position in JNJ (for growing yield and broad diversification), a full position in EXE (for yield), and a 3% position in CRH (for growth). JNJ trades at a premium, justly so. I was thinking of swapping these holdings except maybe EXE for CVS, NVO and DHR. DHR is now focused since its spin off of Fortive and has been a long-term outperformer (it is devices and consumables). NVO (drugs) and CVS (broad healthcare) are great growth stocks that are beaten down compared to JNJ and together offer comparable yields. What would be your thoughts?

Thanks!

Derek
