Q: I've held JNJ for over 15 years based on my belief in the quality of their management. I'm feeling my trust may now be overly 'generous' and it may be time to move on, particularly now that the steadiness of consumer products is gone. I'm considering VRTX or another suggestion you could offer. I have full positions in TMO, SYK and UNH, highlighting my preference for quality.

Q: I just sold DXCM and am looking for a replacement in the healthcare sector. I've either owned (ISRG, MASI) or watched (DHR) for years, but currently do not own any of these. From my end, they all look like good choices, which would be your preference and why?

If you've got another recommendation, I'm all ears!

Q: I currently hold XHC to give me some global health care exposure. It is ~ a whole position for me and is currently down 4.5%. My other Healthcare stocks are Well and Abbvie.
Do you have some other healthcare names that are solid but growing. With or without dividend.

Outside of Canada to get USA or World exposure.

Or would you stick with XHC?

Thanks.

Q: This period of seasonal weakness is a great time for some early Christmas shopping. I sold a part position in NVO a while ago and am looking to reinvest proceeds to increase my health care holdings.

Considering current valuations, what would you recommend as a good complement to expand and diversify?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i,

I found the Q&A about Envista this morning very interesting. With the Veralto spinoff that is happening with DHR, do you think that Veralto will have the same low/no growth issues? I think DHR is trying to do the same again by keeping the higher growth assets and spinning off the lower growth ones. Would you hang on the the new shares when received or would you sell and maybe put back into DHR instead? TIA!

Q: I always kick myself when I come to realize a missed opportunity and tell myself that next time, i'll recognize the trend and take advantage of it.

This is me asking that question now.

What 5 US and 5 CDN positions, in your opinion are very much out of favour right now but have quality fundamentals with an excellent chance for share appreciation over the next 3 years?
