Q: You guys do an amazing job and I really enjoyed your appearance on BNN recently Peter. QHR has had a big run up lately and has been hitting all time highs. Any reason for the recent gains? I have not been able to find any news. I know they are reporting in the next week or two, and is this just market anticipation for a good quarter? Will the stock tank if they disappoint vs. expectations or are you comfortable with adding more today? QHR is currently 3% of my portfolio. Thanks.

Q: I own both of these in my TFSA. I think of them as different because ATD is international with a focus on gas sales while PKI is Canadian and has propane distribution along with its gas. However, given your comments on BNN last night, should I consider them more as similar companies and combine my investments when calculating my portfolio exposure?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team.

I have one account (representing about 20% of my overall portfolio) where I hold only the Balanced Equity Portfolio. KXS is pushing 7% of this account, so I was thinking of trimming it back to about 5%. All other positions in the account are at about 4% to 5%, except HCG, NFI, and PKI, each at about 2%.

Do you think I should top up one of the half-positions, keep some cash handy for future purchases, or leave well enough alone and keep KXS at 7%? (Note: I also own smaller positions in KXS in a couple of TFSA accounts.)

Thanks,

Scott

Q: I would like to increase my investment in the Canadian health care sector. I am looking for yield. What are your top recommendations? I already have enough Sienna (SIA) and Chartwell (CSH.UN). Pharmaceuticals and laboratories interest me.
