Q: Is there a good ETF that covers the US large pharmaceuticals, either hedged or not? And if so which way is better right now?

Q: What source do you use to assign a "Sector" label to a specific company? Do you group similar sectors under your labels? Can you elaborate on the process you use in your portfolios?

I attempt to apply sector labels to individual companies in order to track sector weightings and maintain an awareness of the level of diversification I am achieving.
Keeping the number of sectors to a reasonable number (10?) requires grouping of stocks.

Currently I am using ; Consumer C/NC (10%), Finance (20%), Health Care (10%), Energy (10%), Industrials (10%), Technology (20%), Telecom's (10%), Utilities (10%). Industrial's and Consumer C/NC usually get a mix of companies thrown in there. The weightings are my loose guidelines, and I do vary from them quite a bit. i.e. Energy is currently at 3%, Tech at 40%.

I have a struggle controlling the Tech weighting due to positive returns of my holdings and the fact that so many innovative companies use technology in conducting their business and thereby are classified into the Tech Sector. (E.g. REAL is within the real estate industry however is placed in the Tech Sector.)

Any thoughts you can offer to provide me with a healthy perspective are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Would appreciate your analysis of their just released Q3 results. At first glance, they look pretty solid.

Q: On November 10, Patrice asked about a list of dividend paying stocks; your answer provided a link to a list you had prepared. Is this list available on the website? If so, how do I access it - I looked and cannot find it. Is there other kinds of info that is available to your members and if so, how can it be accessed?
thanks

Q: What 3-4 US Stocks do you think are the best growth investment to purchase this week independent of sector?

Q: Sold Mogo at a huge loss a few years ago. But the beauty of a do it yourself investor is that we can revisit the stock a few years later. Perhaps now is the time to get back in this company.
Once burnt twice shy but I have revisited a few stocks over the years and was glad to get back in. Sometimes the timing is just not right. For example, I revisited absolute software and was rewarded.
What do you think of mogo now that there is a bit more interest in bitcoin and crypto?
Still very promotional by wernekle?

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Its been quite the ride around the election and I hope things can be more stable. I have quite large cash positions for my RRIF, TFSA and RESP and will be placing more contributions in Jan into the latter 2.
Can you suggest 3 CDN and 3US from your Growth or Balanced portfolios that now make good "Buys" to my well balanced portfolios ? Is this a good time to put the cash back in for the long term?
Thanks for your continuing guidance
Peter

Q: Hello Peter,
I have a 2 percent holding of jamieson wellness. Any comments on their recent earnings that would justify increasing or decreasing the weight in my portfolio? Also, would this be a good time to allocate monies to Well Health and Cloud MD? Any idea why TDOC is taking a hit? Is this because of Pfizer's announcement of the effectiveness of its vaccine? Thanks very much.
