Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I would like to purchase a US broad market ETF similar to SPY in US dollars. The purchase would be for my TFSA so there would be a withholding tax on dividends. I know that there are some ETFs structured in a way so rather than paying out any dividends the fund would instead see a gain in capital. Can you recommend such a fund (in US dollars) that tracks the S&P 500? Does this strategy make sense for a TFSA or would such a fund incur higher costs or fees that would negate the savings from avoiding the 15% dividend withholding tax?

Q: Rank the following stocks in which you would own/purchase for growth over next 5 plus years, sector and risk are not a priority.

Also what are you thoughts on recent earnings for RKT and also regarding the billion dollar buyback they announced if yahoo is correct and their float is 112 million (assuming because of IPO lots of stock are in lockup?) with share price of $21.6. That accounts for roughly 41.3 percent of the outstanding shares. Is this a big move for a event ipo... is it bullish?

Q: My portfolio is a little out of balance when it comes to healthcare stocks.

I am considering: WELL.CA, VEEV.US, GH:US, SYK.US, BIIB.US, ABBV:US, AMGN:US. (I already own IHI and BAX)
Are there others that you would add to the list?
Is there an ETF that you would recommend?
Could you please rank the above stocks with regards to 3-5 year hold?
I sold my position in GUD about a year ago.

Thanks!!

Q: Do you provide a listing of companies you currently have reports on (70 companies)? I have looked on your website and cannot seem to find such a listing. I could search by specific companies or by rankings, but would like a overall quick reference of what companies you have reports issued on. (preferably printable)

Perhaps it is already there and I have missed it?
