Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My portfolio analytics is showing that I'm a bit low in my communication services sector.

Beyond the obvious telecom companies, what are some of the less obvious companies or perhaps ETFs that would fit into this sector?

Also, including the telecoms, could you rank your top few Canadian and US buys for this sector.

Thanks as always.

Q: In my ongoing search for yield, I have generally been pleased with HHL. As you know, it is a fund that equally invests in 20 large cap global health care companies and employs an active covered call strategy. The recent yield range has been ~ 8.50-9.0%. It is a 5% weight in overall portfolio.

I am comfortable with their core equity exposure, as they are all brand names that investors know well. And I am comfortable with its performance relative to broad market performance/sentiment. My question is relatively simple. Is this yield too good to be true, and do you think that 8.50-9.0% suggests excess leverage/risk. I do note that their monthly payout has been steady and there has never been a cut in the distribution.

Thank you.

Q: shop reported this morning. call is still to come. 5i continues to endorse it as a top growth pick but price continues to fall. looking from a macro view, is 5i trying to catch a falling knife. for those who followed your recommendation many months ago, its been a terrible ride down. after call, I expect 5i to remain positive and endorse buying at these new lower levels. Can you explain why shop is so special and warrants all this positive attention. The ceo was touted as a strong point but he admits he got things wrong. I'm fortunate I bought very early, sold most but still hold a small position. my confidence with shop and 5i grows thin. looking for comments after call. sell, hold or buy?

Q: Would appreciate your guidance on building a healthcare portfolio with these names and any other suggestions divided into 2 categories [1] core [to constitute the bulk of the portfolio] and [2] growth, for a 3+ year hold. If you could add a few thoughts on each as to why you like or not, that would be most helpful.
Best wishes
