Q: Dear Peter,
I hold shares in NOV (National Oilwell Varco). The Co has announced a restructuring. Would it result in negative tax implications for a canadian investor? Do you know when the restructuring will take place? Should I hold or sell for reinvestment elsewhere? Thanks. I appreciate the great service.

Q: Hi 5i team, I would appreciate any feedback you could give me on QCOR. It's numbers look real good to me, I know they have some lawsuits pending but I would think that would be normal for a pharmacutical company. Thank you for your excellent service

Q: Peter and team: would you agree with the investing hypothesis that Obamacare is forcing Americans to own health insurance, which will effectively increase the healthcare market by 15% (a current estimate of uninsureds) simply through increased participation. Therefore, companies in the healthcare sector should see a similar lift and investors could benefit in the medium to long term versus other sectors? If you agree with the hypothesis, is there an ETF (or stock) you would recommend? I'm thinking of this for an RESP with a long time horizon.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I have held Apple for about a year. What's your thoughts on the stock within the next 2-3 years for growth potential? The company needs some sort of catalyst to get it going again, which seems like just a matter of time. Would you recommend being patient and continuing to hold this one? If not, is there another name in the sector that you would recommend switching into?

Thanks as always,

Q: Peter; This is not a real question , just a comment. I see Goldman Sachs raised Priceline to a " conviction buy" from just a " buy". I guess this means if the CEO is not convicted it's a better buy. Rod
