Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning and happy thanksgiving even though it is not ours!

I am looking to invest in healthcare for a registered account(RESP). Could you please provide me with your recommendations.

I would also request two other stocks outside health/finance and energy, perhaps info tech/cons staples for the same account

TIA

Peter

Q: Imperial is doing a modified Dutch auction. I know in general in past comments you seem to have suggested not tendering to these offerings, I think at least in part because if you still believe in the company then after the shares are bought back you own a bigger piece of a company you already like? What is the opposite side of this decision, why do people tender to these offers? Are you aware of anything in this particular offering that makes it attractive? (As an additional wrinkle, if I read the details correctly, if the shares are held by an IOL employee in their company savings plan, the disposition would be considered a dividend for tax purposes as opposed to a capital gain). Any thoughts appreciated.

Q: I sold LNTH 30 days ago to harvest the tax loss. I am looking for one more name to fill my healthcare allotment. I currently own ABBV, ISRG, WELL and SIS. Which do you like best between LNTH, DXCM and INMD, which are three names that you have been highlighting over the past several months? I am looking for potentially higher growth and am willing to take on the additional risk. Any other name(s) would certainly be welcome.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Sometimes in your answeres you reply along the lines "we would be OK buying this". I'm not sure how to interpret OK. Is it a recommendation like a statement of support. Or is OK meaning not bad but not good.

Thanks John

Q: Hi 5i, for sector alignment, I need to sell one of KEL or PHX.
I am up 45% on KEL, and up 33% on PHX. No tax issues as they are both in TFSA.
Which would you recommend to keep for a 3-5 year hold.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Re your response to Ross Nov 9 on earnings I am curious to know how this Co acquired such a heavy debt load; It almost looks as though the company was under capitalized at issue. The accompanying profile refers to the Co acquiring practices but this could be outright purchase or simply a stake. What would be a normal debt load for this situation and what does acquiring imply? Could you also comment on the probability of the federal government announcing a supported dental plan, a possible date for such and the impact on the company if this occurs. What looked to be a desirable investment has sagged badly.

Q: I have held NPI for sometime and am down almost 8%. I know you're not a big fan of the stock currently and prefer BEP, H or FTS. That said, 9 of 9 analysts are rating NPI as a Strong Buy. None of the others are rated as highly. What are you seeing that they do not?

Q: I have incorporated these ETF’s into my RRIF with the goal of deferring taking capital from my principal ( mandatory and rising % withdrawal requirements ). They now represent 33% of total portfolio. My TFSA and cash accounts equal my
RRIF and are more growth oriented. The ETF’s give me a high yield, diversified portfolio of solid large cap, primarily low growth companies in Canada and the US. So I ask myself “ Why don’t I have my RRIF be 100% of these 5 ETF’s ? What say you ?

Thanks Derek.
