Q: Hello 5i,
Upon the recommendation of selling JNJ 64 shares with $6,000 profit, should I add PG to my portfolio or add to my ABBVIE, MRK and CSH.UN. Now I am at 5% in health sector holding these four stocks. I have 60 positions in all with 46 positions in segregated funds. I am 72 years young and investing for income. This is going mostly into an RRSP.
Thank you,
Stanley

Q: Recently, 5i has supported members' suggestions to switch out of JNJ into something else given the legal difficulties that JNJ faces. I generally like to hold indefinitely; given this anticipated time frame, and my preference for safety and a good/growing dividend, do you think I should switch as well? Do you view the alternatives I've listed as less or more risky than JNJ overall? Are there non-pharmaceutical alternatives in the US healthcare space that would provide an equally secure and growing dividend that you would recommend? Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on Prologis (PLD)? (notwithstanding your non-US coverage) Is this a good way to invest in the real estate market in the US? It pays a nice healthy dividend, and seems to be a steady Eddy company with some growth ahead of it. Do I have it right if I wish to invest in this for steady dividend/some growth, in an RSP?

Q: GE has been beaten up lately and fallen out of favour with investors. However it has been around a long time with a history (until) recently as a golden star and within the DOW preferred stocks family. Is this a good time to invest in and take a larger position within my portfolio

Q: You may not be familiar with this company as it's a US-based bio-tech. But, in case you do, ALNY just reported and the results were very good. Yet even before they reported the stock was dropping and is continuing to drop. Any reason why?
Thanks,
Murray
