Q: I am loosing a lot of money on both PFE and MRK. I hold them in RRSP since 2023 and down about 50% on PFE and 20% on MRK. Would you keep these or get rid of them and switch to some other healthcare stocks offering better long term total return (growth + dividends)?

Q: Hi,
Is it possible that the 10% drop in WELL on Friday would be related to their announced presentation at the 2025 Cantech Investment Conference on Oct 9 in Toronto? Any info about this presentation from your sources? Too much Up & downs with this stock. It's not only the market. I'm loosing patience.
Thanks and good weekend.

Q: My investment is down by about 25% and I am inclined to take a loss for tax purposes. When does the company next report? If it were you, would you wait for that before selling? Do you foresee any other catalyst that would change the fortunes for the share price in the next 30 days? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Hi 5i,

What would be your top three picks today in the health care equipment sector? US or Canada. Are they buys today and what would be a good entry point. Please provide a short description as to why they are top picks.

If SIS is not part of the list, can you provide your opinion on this company as an investment for 5 year hold.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello Team,

Do you know what has woken up BFLY? I know that it was mentioned in TIME magazine in September as part of its World's Top HealthTech Companies 2025 list. It was also blogged and ranked #1 by Zacks. The stock continues to grow (70% in a month). I wonder if this is only anoher hype and it will fizzle out sooner or later? Or is this growth for real, based on solid improvements?!

I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on this company and its fundamentals? Is it worth averaging up just to break even and get out? Or has the company finally turned a corner and better days are ahead?

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at 5i.

Q: I've held PFZ for a long time in my RRSP (now RRIF) and my US account. The 10-year return is low. Is there an ETF that could replace this security in my US account and RRIF?
I'd like to improve the return and understand if there are any negative tax impacts.
Thank you.

Q: Yesterday a FDA official gave very negative opinions and comments on Aurinia pharmaceuticals then removed them at end of trading day. Volume went up to almost 8million shares and stock was crushed. This stinks to high heaven. What do you folks think of this and will there be law suits maybe officials checking into short covering etc. Also how long will the cloud remain over this stock it was just taking off when all this happened.
