Q: Like a lot of investors I am looking at increasing my U S holdings. Is targeting the medical sector advisable given the politics that could come into play in the U S? If advisable would you put 2% (sector weight) in each one or prefer 4% in a single ETF?
Q: Hello Peter and gang
What can you say about IHI, it seems to be pretty good over a 10 year period. Is there any other etf in the same field. Is there a Canadian version?
What are you expecting the quarterly report to be for TFII. Is this a good long term hold.
Is it time to jump into PHO. Held it before and did well. Is this a good time to jump back in.
Q: Hello,
I need to increase my health care exposure and also diversify into the US .
What is your opinion on these two Etf’s, or would you recommend individual stocks and if so which ones.
Thank you
Q: Hello Peter and Team
my question pertains to my US trading account invested in all stocks. I have done well so far. Now I want to switch to all ETFs portfolio for more stability and less maintenance in the medium and long terms. I intend to buy the above for 20% each.
Please let me know if my strategy and choices make sens and do not hesitate to provide suggestions and adjustments.
I value your opinion as always.

Q: I propose a 8-9% allocation to this sector. I would sell GUD [gain] and small position in CPH [loss]; hold TD Health Sciences at 15% [good long-term performance and good cross-section of sector] and add to ISRG initial position. That would enable me to add approx. 15% to each of IHI ETF {little overlap with TD Fund], ZTS, IDXX, ILMN, and LHCG.
This is a difficult sector to pick stocks. What would you advise re allocation and selection?
Q: Hi on july 18th you suggested to Gary IHI And XHE for medical device etf please explain and compare the two ,if you only have funds for one which would you chose thanks

Q: In what order would you rate the following U.S. equities

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I am thinking of taking a position on IHI and would like to have your thoughts on this etf. Also for US medical industry and for the foreseeable future, does the medical device segment presents a better potential than pharmaceuticals?
Cheers,
Q: I'm interested in purchasing an ETF that invests in companies that manufacture sophisticated medical diagnostic equipment, body replacement parts(eg knees, hips, etc) and other hi tech devices that address human disabilities/health issues.
Q: I have an average price on BMY shares of $69 having bought near peak price...when the recommendations by other analysts ( not 5i) were extremely positive. After, the company missed expectations with a drug and the downfall began. Now, I am wondering, what factors would you consider in making the decision whether to exit this losing trade and put the $$ into an alternate pharm company such as GUD or an ETF such as some you have recently mentioned IHI.
Q: I would like to invest n the US healthcare and have been recommended to invest in TMO but since this Would be the only stock in the healthcare that I would invest in I think it might be better to invest in a healthcare ETF and have found IXJ and IHI and wonder if better to invest in an ETF or ok just to invest in one US healthcare stock? If an ETF which one would you prefer?
Q: Large-cap healthcare ETFs are giving-up their post-election bump, in some cases (for example, HHL) approaching nine-month lows. Are there any that are becoming interesting, or is this sector just too instrinsically volatile? In the past, 5i has spoken well of IHI (NYSE), do you still like it?
