Q: Hi 5i
I intended on holding (PUR and AVO) for the long term but cannot due to their being taken over by XYL and MSI. These acquisitions will mean a cash infusion and I'm wondering whether a purchase of the acquiring companies is sensible. What is your opinion of these US companies (it is understood that they are not your focus but I respect and appreciate your opinion)

Thanks

Q: Hello Folks
What are your feelings re: holding on to both Kraft Heinz and Starbucks, which are both struggling with their own issues. Would you consider McDonalds a decent bet/ replacement at present as it has been taking positive steps, but is expensive. Do you have other suggestions in this sector?
Thanks for your good work

Q: About a year about, I purchased CVS as a hedge against a downturn in the US health care. Since then CVS price dropped nearly 20 since then....first attributed to Amazon purchasing a grocer retailer, then recovered somewhat but then declined because of the news of three large parties, including Amazon planning to get into the health care sector to reduce costs to consumers. Seems CVS is out of favour...and could be so for sometime. Question - do I hold or do I let it go and focus on another US stock and what names would you suggest?

Q: Hi 5i,
For an RSP focused on growth, which two would you pick for cybersecurity exposure? Or would you pick something else (other than an ETF)?
TIA
