Q: Would you consider CNC a good investment given their involvement in senior care and the aging demographics in the US? They also recently acquired Magellan Health which gives them exposure to one of the US biggest behavioural health platforms and are also starting to focus on a pharmacy segment and look to be developing into a fairly diversified company. However they do have significant exposure to Medicaid programs and linkages to the Affordable Care Act but not sure how big a risk to consider that might be? I currently hold CVS which is not perhaps direct competition but appears to be closer to fair value while CNC is still projected to have anywhere from a 16 to 23% discount. Wells Fargo has them overweight with a target of $87. Would you hold CVS, and take a position with CNC as well, or sell CVS and move it to CNC for it's potential upside? Thanks!

Q: Hi, I'm wondering if you might be able to offer me any insight into Goldman Sachs Business Development Corp Inc (GSBD:US)? When I look it up on TMX.COM there is an indication that it is trading at a price earnings multiple of only 3.6, that it has earnings of $5.43 per share (which I assume is for the past year), it pays a quarterly dividend of $0.45 and is currently in the midst of paying several additional special dividends of $0.05 per share and that its current yield is over 9%. With those earnings per share the dividend looks to me to be highly sustainable. I'm wondering why it might be trading at such a low P/E multiple? Is there something highly risky about the source of the firm's earnings or some other aspect of its business? Thank you!

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! I hold AT & T shares and have done so for a while. I am underwater in this holding and considering the upcoming deal, would you recommend still keeping the stock? There is a strong suggestion that the dividend will be cut. My alternative thought would be to sell out and invest in the QQQ for a long term hold. Your insight would be welcome! Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hello, I bought shares of AT&T eight years ago. I am still holding the stock because of the dividends. What does the deal with Discovery concretely mean for the average investors? Will AT&T change name? Will I get shares of Discovery? Should I sell my AT&T shares or just keep them and wait? I just do not know what to do now. Thank you
