Q: Hi,

At some point I would like to get into the Health Care sector (possibly with ZUH) but it seems so expensive right now, and you have stated this as well. But I feel that you are not a fan of waiting for a correction. How would you convince someone to buy into it right now, or would you wait?

Thank you

Q: Greetings,

Been looking for an entry point for QCOM but wondering about the long term impact of the Samsung going with a different chip provider. It looks like the market may have over reacted to one quarter but wanted your opinion here.

Is there a reason for Cipher's large price volatility over the last week? I get suspicious when this happens. Thank you

Q: Not a question, but hopefully a helpful comment for the 5i community given the number of recent questions related to portfolio balancing:
Google Sheets is similar to Excel spreadsheets, but has an interesting function that can be used to track portfolio weightings easily. The function is called GOOGLEFINANCE, which can retrieve the latest price of a security online automatically.

The way to use this function for a typical stock on the TSX is:
=GOOGLEFINANCE("TSE:symbol")
(for stocks on the Venture, use CVE instead of TSE)

For instance, to find the price of Brookfield Renewable Energy, the function would be:
=GOOGLEFINANCE("TSE:BEP.UN")

If you have one column for the stock price and another for the number of shares, you can then multiply them together to calculate the total value. Categorize all your stocks by sector, and then have Google Sheets calculate portfolio weightings for each. Hopefully I described this clearly and that it is useful for others. I know this has saved me a significant amount of time!

Q: As of tonight, February 2, 2015, TD still has not paid its dividend which was promised to its shareholders for January 31st. I wonder if any TD Waterhouse members received their dividends on time? I wonder what TD would charge me if I was late paying them for a loan of $50.00 (roughly the cost of one share)? I wonder if my service provider will record the dividend as being received on Feb when the dividend finally arrives or will it back dated to Jan 31?

Q: Hello team
What do you make of INO.UN with its exposure to the euro and the probability of QE in the Eurozone. Will they benefit? They have a nice dividend yield but I am honestly not experienced enough to interpret the other numbers. The REIT looks relatively new to the market. Could you give us a short review of Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust.

Thank You for your help
Clarence
