Q: Ryan and Peter. Best of the new year to you and the rest of the 5i team. Thanks to Ryan for his article about re-balancing portfolios. I agree that health care is the sector that provides some value. I have some exposure to Canadian health care but would like to buy some exposure to specific American health care companies. If possible, could you suggest a few companies that offer some growth in 2017 and provide a bit of a dividend? Thanks in advance for your appreciated guidance.

Q: i am curious, this analyst at mackie downgraded knight today from outperform to hold, knight has zero debt and about 650 million in cash and is looking to do deals and maybe a very big deal.
why would he do this-- to me the upside seems huge and the downside minimal, he says he is looking for sideways action but one big deal could change everything. thanks dave

Q: I would like either STN or WSP and would appreciate your comments on which one is preferable and why.
I have no health care and would like your suggestions for this sector, individual companies or ETF's.
Thank you.

Q: Not a question but a comment. I'm glad to see you are covering CRH Medical now. I had thought about asking the question a while ago, "why shouldn't I own CRH" to get the sell side argument in case I was missing something. But it sounds like you are agreeing that CRH has a bright future. Great growth, mgmt, and their expansion from the Gastro side to anesthesia services was very smart. I find them to be one of the better run companies in my portfolio, so far.

Q: Hi Team,
You've just added CRH to your growth portfolio. I've been tracking it for a while based on your coverage and a friend's position in it. Can you please comment on its risk level? My thought is to possibly move out of Gilead Sciences (GILD) in the US and into CRH. But I am concerned about its valuation after a great year, especially when compared to GILD which has had a very bad year (and may now represent a value opportunity or dead money). I also own Knight (GUD) and iShares Biotech (IBB). Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. Michael
