Q: Hi team, I bought WELL.CA back in Nov 2021 in my TFSA to provide some "growth" after viewing in your 5i Growth model portfolio. I am down ~38% and still waiting for the "growth" to take place. I realize it must have been bought in your growth model portfolio back around May 2020 at $2.83 so you're still up 30%. Back in April of this year it looked like there was some promise to the stock but it has since headed to the basement again. You still promote WELL so I'm wondering if I should hang on to this loser (for me) or wait it out? If a sell, what to replace with. I hear rumblings that small caps may take off in 2024? Appreciate your thoughts. Bill

Q: 2 months ago you answered a question about COR and MCK in which you were positive. Since then both stocks have continued to do well. Are you still positive here for a long term buy and do you now have a preference. COR pays a better dividend.

Thanks for you great advice.

Q: Hi 5i, we need to increase our Healthcare allocation.

Currently hold XLV in our non-reg account, and are satisfied with it.

We need to use CA$ funds in our RIF's to increase, and are looking
at HHL, XHC, and LIFE (little unsure with LIFE as their website has faulty info).

We are looking for income plus some growth.

Could you provide some analysis of these 3 options,
and any other suggestions that you might see.

Thanks as always for your assistance. T.

Q: I sold LNTH 30 days ago to harvest the tax loss. I am looking for one more name to fill my healthcare allotment. I currently own ABBV, ISRG, WELL and SIS. Which do you like best between LNTH, DXCM and INMD, which are three names that you have been highlighting over the past several months? I am looking for potentially higher growth and am willing to take on the additional risk. Any other name(s) would certainly be welcome.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I currently hold XHC to give me some global health care exposure. It is ~ a whole position for me and is currently down 4.5%. My other Healthcare stocks are Well and Abbvie.
Do you have some other healthcare names that are solid but growing. With or without dividend.

Outside of Canada to get USA or World exposure.

Or would you stick with XHC?

Thanks.
