Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i, Is it a good time to invest in a biotech ETF such as XBI? 5 to 10 year hold. Would you wait for the markets to stabilize?

Thanks

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: Could you please recommend an ETF relating to the healthcare sector please (possibly 3)? Should it be North American focused or more Global?
Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
Following a question about Canadian and US health care sector opportunities, I am trying compare and contrast IBB (iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF) with XBI (SPDR S&P Biotech ETF). I realize the former focuses on large companies and has more concentrated positions in top holdings while the latter focuses on small companies with a more even distribution of holdings. What are your thoughts about a risk/return trade off between the two ETFs and what timeframe would you be considering to hold either one for an investment thesis to pan out? If you had to pick one, which would it be and why?
Many thanks, Michael
