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?

Q: You noted several months ago that Johnson and Johnson may have exposure from opioid lawsuits and that this may be of concern. ABBV, through its Allergen division, may also be involved in at least some of these suits. You have continued to recommend ABBV so do you feel they are less exposed?


Appreciate your insight.

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team

Was looking for a good US name with some growth potential and a strong dividend and read your Aug 27 answer for John. Looked at ABBV today and it is down almost 9% and volume is almost triple the Average. In looking for news I have become confused after finding an Aug 26 article saying "AbbVie stock toppled after reporting its earnings." But it appears it didn't topple end of last week but rather, experienced the sharp decline today.

Should I be buying this on the dip? Or is there reasons to hold off for now? And if so, are there 3 other US names you might recommend which have good growth potential moving forward accompanied by a better than average dividend.

Thanks for all you do.

gm
