Q: Hi Peter and team,
While Becton Dickinson and Stryker seem to have a lot in common (medical supplies, joint replacement, etc.) their performance has deviated greatly in recent years; (over the past year, less than 1% gain for BDX but almost 12% for SYK). The one I own (naturally) is BDX, which also has a lower P/E and a higher dividend. Two questions: (i) any idea why BDX has underperformed SYK so much; (ii) would you sell, hold on, or buy more of what many analysts say is a well-run company in a demographically promising business?
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Could you please comment on PHA and their recent earnings? I have a 1/4 position in the stock that I bought at $1.20. I usually don't add to a position if it is down but I'm tempted to add another 1/4 position in this case and fill out the position through 2022 if the price rebounds. It's one in a basket of small cap stocks that I intend to hold for 3-5 years.

Thank you for your service and Happy Holidays to everyone at 5i!

Colin

Q: Howdy to all you Santa's helpers, thanks for all your wise council.
My question today is: i recently sold GUD after a long hold and so am looking for another healthcare replacement. I know you have reported on NBLY and AND and so wondering which of the two you would recommend to replace GUD. Or, do you have a better recommendation?

Thanks to all

Q: I am underweight in the Healthcare sector with only a 1.5% holding in Well. Could you suggest US and Canadian securities which would be suitable for a solid performing “ core” holding?

Secondly, I am down 39% in WELL. Should I have any concerns picking up additional shares at this level?

Q: Hello Peter,
Nuvei just came out with a release about the short seller. I dont think it says much more than what they previously announced. What did shopfiy do that was different to refute the short seller? At this point, it seems that Nuvei is stuck in the $75 range a far cry before the report. Would you just wait it out for now as the company is supported by large private firms and insider ownership seems decent. As well , analysts seem to be endorsing the company. Also , i would appreciate your view on Tecsys and CareRx . Thanks very much.
