Q: I have some money in my RRSP and would like to buy some US stocks. Could you recommend your top picks you think are priced to buy now, which gives 3% or more dividend. Also any you would wait on, and what price point you would enter. Thanks so much!

Q: Hi
In a past question I was provided these US stocks to purchase: VZ, DUK, GILD, ABBV, O. I was looking for: low to moderate risk and high dividend yields I am again looking for another 5 to 7 stocks with similar criterion. As I am trying to build a US portfolio, please provide some diversification suggestions as well. Thanks, Len

Q: Regarding Ivan's Mar. 28 question about these ADR's: They are all UK domiciled corporations, and the UK has no tax on dividends. Therefore there is no dividend withholding tax, even in a non-registered account. This is one of the reasons I prefer to hold ADR's of UK-headquartered stocks for foreign content - I currently can't make use of the foreign tax credit. (BTI is another one.)

Q: Hi Peter & 5i, The above ADR's trade on US Exchanges among others,
whose dividends are passed on to Canadian investors without the dreadful withholding tax, even in taxable accounts. How would you rate them from good to not so good. Also your input on these and others that you can think of, would be appreciated. As always thanks for the great service. Ivan

Q: As a new subscriber, I’m thoroughly impressed with your advice and 5i Research services overall - thank you for all that you do.
I currently hold ABBV, BMY, CVS, and GSK in a long-term hold, diversified RRSP portfolio. I’m not necessarily looking to add further healthcare exposure, but am very interested in the long term prospects for MRK +/- ISRG and would appreciate your opinion on them. And compared to my existing companies, would there be a suggested ranking of these six in terms of potential for long term compounding growth?

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm not happy about the performance of GSK, what do you think about the performance going forward, also what else could you recommend for international exposure. Currently own Merk and Pfizer.
Thanks!

Q: Hello!
1) I would like to get a good, general US healthcare etf .. what might you recommend now? (Long term income investor)
2) also, I would like an etf that has companies like Sanofi and GSK, at decent weights .. what do you think? I see that VYMI has them but at very low percentages.
Appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Q: Hi Team
For my spouse’s RRSP
Between Glaxosmithkline (GSK) and Bayer AG (BAYRY) which is the better investment to accompany Royal Phillips NV. (PHG)
Within a household is it ok to own similar securities between partners and accounts or is it more prudent to hold different companies for maximum diversification and some downturn protection. I own JNJ, NVO and GUD.
Thank-you in advance, Sam

Q: Little movement with GSK of late. Would you transfer out of this stock into another healthcare stock or is health care too out of favour and should move out of sector entirely for now. If out of favour, would you suggest another global stock?
Thanks. Lorraine
