Q: I had thought you only answered questions on Canadian stocks, but I've seen a number of questions answered about US and even international stocks, so I thought I'd see if you had any opinion on JAZZ, Jazz Pharmaceuticals in the US.

Q: Peter and Team,

Can you provide any insight to the big 30% drop at OSIS due to a contract cancellation? Its a very small speculative position in my portfolio, is the bad news already baked in, or is the a sign of things to come? Thanks.

Q: You stated in the past that you do not follow LPX in the US. However, I would like to add to my US position and particpate in the housing sector. Would you recommend LPX on its pull back to $16 from a recent high of $22 in March, or would you recommend some thing like HD? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i

First thank you for your great recommendation for ACQ, it has been doing great for me and I will probably hold it for years to come.

I own a full position in BEP.UN and I am looking at switching that for the SPDR Homebuilders ETF XHB to take advantage of the home builder surge in the U.S. What do you think of this?
Cheers

Greg

Q: Hi, just curious if you've heard anything about or follow Patent Properties (PPRO); Jay Walker the Priceline founder is behind the company and it seems he has his eyes focused on creating a patent licencing system to launch in the second half of 2014. The company is also earning revenues off of their existing patents (from licencing, settlements, and litigation). I understand this isn't a forum for US listed companies but any input would be appreciated. Thanks,

I have sold all but one of my American LP stock in my portfolio which is ETP, the 35% off the div. is just too much... I am considering WMB, could you give me another choice.

Q: IWC and DFE

Hi Peter & Co:
This morning, Cam Hui sent out his blog entry, "Humble Student of the Markets", writing about two Micro-Cap ETFs, IWC for the U.S. and the other, DFE, for Europe. Although Cam was writing about a seasonal trade, my question is whether these ETFs can form a further diversification of a portfolio with say, a 5%, exposure to Small Caps, usually gained through IWO?
Kind regards, Gail

Q: Hello,

We need to add US Healthcare to our portfolio. We already own GSK and MRK. We are looking at Zimmer holdings ( ZMH ) or Stryker corp ( SYK ). With the aging population, knees and hips replacment should be on the rise.
Could you give me your opinion on these two and possibly an alternative if you don't know them.

Thanks

Q: Hey 5I Team,
I am having a hard time buying a consumer staple stock such as: ul,tatyy,syy,pg,nsrgy,krft,kmb,hnz,gis,cag,clx,cpb as they have not met my minimum threshold of 4% dividend. Should I wait for this to happen as that sector seems overvalued? I do not want to buy in and get hit like the RIET sector. Currently what would be your best pick out of these, or do you have another?
You guys are the best!

Q: Hi, I'm looking to add a US growth stock. Currently only hold AAPL and XLF in the US. What do you think of Priceline (PCLN) as an investment today at its current price for a 5-year hold? Is there a better US growth stock you prefer? I understand the US isn't your area of specialty but any comments are appreciated. Thanks.
