Thank you

Q: I'm in the process of rebuilding my portfolio for 2022. It would be helpful if you could share with me a list of both Canadian and American companies that meet the following criteria:
1. They are some of your favourite companies from a fundamental perspective
2. They are currently buying back their own shares.
3. They offer a decent dividend.
4. They run businesses that offer good growth prospects for next year.
5. They currently offer good value.
6. These companies are so solid they would classify as 'core ' holdings.
At least six companies in each list would be appreciated.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude for the support and ideas you have shared this past year. Definitely one of the best advisory services available to Canadians,

Q: Hi Peter & team,

For US Heathcare, I’ve ABBV. I want to add one more wide moat, stable growth healthcare company. Thinking of either SYK or ISRG. Based on their current market valuation, balance sheets, and future revenue growth, which is the current preferred choice and why. Or is there another better choice? What’s the suggested entry price? Thanks.

Q: Your thoughts on the company? And any suggestions on solid companies that you prefer in the robotic space?

Q: My portfolio analysis suggests I am underweight in Basic Materials, Consumer Cyclicals, Utilities and Healthcare. I have USD to invest as I am also underweight in the US. Could you give me your 2 best suggestions for overall return (not high-risk) in each of these sectors individually as well as a group. I would also like to know if there are Canadian companies more attractive than your US suggestions in the same sector. Thank you for your help over the years

Q: This is about topping up a half position in ISRG. Yea would like to do it but the market price rose somewhat like a hockey stick. With that, I'm reluctant to buy ISRG at this point. Seems to me, the market price is way ahead of the fair value and so I'll park the desire to buy ISRG. Keen to get your take on my "viewpoint". But if you consider ISRG a buy, what would be your entry point at this time?.....Thanks....Tom

P.S. While Bombers are at the top of the CFL, me, cheering for Ti-Cats ......but not wagering, rather saving my coins for one day topping up ISRG.......hahahaha

Q: Looking forward to 2022 I think there is a recession coming at us. (Personal Opinion). Looks to me that growth companies are going to continue to face severe headwinds. I also think industrials, financials, energy, and health care will be the sectors that will start to outperform others. Of course I'm open to debate regarding my choices and welcome your opinions. However, I would appreciate 3 or 4 examples of companies that you believe are set up to outperform in these sectors. If I've missed any sector please feel free to add your ideas. Thanks for your valued suggestions.

Q: If the scary inflation monster is in fact a mirage and we return next year to the old norm of global oversupply, excess savings, and stagnant growth what would be some Canadian and US stocks likely to benefit.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Management always seems to be one of the keys to the success of any company. Could you provide a list of companies that you consider to have top-notch management - any sector, any market cap but leaning towards small to mid cap, Canadian and U.S. I'm not going to put a number limit on this - just whatever you feel comfortable in providing, realizing that there may be too many to list for this type of question. Thanks.
Rob

Q: GH, TDOC, VEEV: Which stock is your favorite and would you buy all 3. If there are other you prefer over these, please list them? Risk is not an issue so no dividends. Would you purchase now or wait until things settle down?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Looking for strong growth going forward. Which of these health care companies shows the most promise?

Q: I need to add to my industrial and health care positions of my portfolio.
I am having a hard time deciding which too add.
Would you rate these for long term holds
I am going to add TIH and would like one more industrial maybe two healthcare names. just alittle concerned that alot of these names have benefited from covid except for stryker but i think it has run up on anticipation of more surgeries coming back

Q: My 28 yo son has $6k USD to invest in his RSP. I have considered many good companies, and whittled it down to 4 choices. I could not find a site to learn the ROIC on these companies. Could 5i provide please? Could 5i rank these 4 based on their growth potential? No requirement to comment on sector allocation within portfolio as that is in hand. Thanks in advance.

Q: I want exposure to health. Looking for growth in the next 5 years. Can you please rate these companies in term of growth in next 5 years, starting with the most potential? And what is a good entry point for them?
Feel free to suggest any other health care stock that offer growth as well. Thank you very much.

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?
