Q: What do you think of XBI here? It seems to have broken out. When biotech runs, it tends to run hard.

State Street SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI $116.65)
Q: Greetings…I’ve taken a 10% haircut on this ETF held for healthcare exposure. I could book the loss, but if I replace with another healthcare ETF inside of 30 days in your experience does the CRA have a problem with that? Also, some of the other ETF’s on the TSX look like they have fared even worse. Any ideas? (Trying to avoid holding one or two US companies individually)

Q: It looks like biotech stocks are on a tear, especially those that may benefit from AI. Do you have any names that you might recommend? I'm considering the Arkg fund but I don't quite trust Cathy Woods after losing money on the Arkk fund in 2021. Thank you,
Jason

Q: Two part question, deduct as many points as you like.
I'm just wondering if anyone at 5I has glanced at the 195 page(!!) short report that Spruce Point put out last week on Stryker. Anything in particular to be concerned about? I own it in my RRSP, and have been slowly adding to my position. It is the only stock that I own in the health care sector.
Also, what would be your top pick, CA or US in this sector, if I wanted to diversify my portfolio?
Thank you for all that you do.

Q: I think this bio tech etc has recently had a tough time. I know that you recommend it. But,I was wondering whether you think this might be it's time to recuperate it's losses? Do you have something that you like more than this. If so, why? As always thanks for the great service

Q: I am interested in investing in some US ETFs. I would put these into an RRSP account. Would there be tax consequences re the CRA or IRS in doing so? I imagine that there would be tax complications if they were held in a margin account.
