Q: Thank you for the detailed response earlier on VEEV's quarterly report. You noted that you feel it is still a "decent" long term hold. I am wondering if you have any other US healthcare names that you have much higher conviction of that you might recommend replacing VEEV with? I have lots of time and VEEV currently sits in RRSP.

Thanks!

Q: Hi there, what do you think about buying this ETF for broad defensive exposure in a diversified portfolio? Do you think it has room to run up over the next 1-2 year or so? Are there any other cons staple etfs or specific stocks that might offer better growth and dividend?

Thanks very much

Q: Is Verizon a value trap? It has been drifting lower, and wondering if this is due to interest rates (in which case it will rebound if rates drop) or a lack of growth prospects that will forever blunt its share price. I'm fine with it as a dividend payer if it is sustainable, but at present it is bleeding off capital that still puts me in the hole. If it's share price isn't going to recover, should I dump it?

Q: It seems like the NAV and distribution on this are extremely well protected, if I understand it correctly.
Would any drop in the price of the underlying banks be deducted from the NAV of BR before affecting the NAV of BR.PR? (would NAV of BR have to go to zero before affecting the NAV of BK.PR?)
And in the unlikely case that several of the banks cut their divs, would some of that cut be accommodated by cuts to the distribution of BR before affecting BK.PR's distribution?
Last, if the price of BK.PR falls due to sentiment - as opposed to drop in NAV - the product can be at some point sold back to the issuer at the then current NAV?
Is there a risk I am not considering?
Thanks,

Q: Further to Daves question and response, this week a guest on BNN mentioned we are no where near seeing a turn in the market until the Fed makes the last rate decrease. This could well be next year or and 2024.
What are your thoughts and thanks
Rick

Q: I feel that 5i has the belief that if you are a long term investor you will be OK with the downturns that we are having now. Stay invested and you will OK in the long run. Yes, overall the market has always gone higher over time, but you can get caught if you bought into the highs and are now down 50 to 80%. Oil stocks have been the darling in the last year, but if you bought the same ones 10 to 12 years ago, some are still off 50 to 80% from there highs, so this really makes you a long time investor. I feel that are many growth stocks that were bought when you thought the market would always go up will now be looking at decades to recapture there cost. Sometimes a better market does not even help some of these stocks recover.
Thanks again

Q: Hi 5i,

I have maybe a rare question for you. I have done quite well with my stock selections (much thanks to you for many of the wise choices) and are sitting on a pool of Capitol Gains. Now, my wife and I are entering the phase of our life where we can make some significant "tax-friendly" charitable donations. Always keeping in mind, saving enough for the rest of our days. Our question is: If you had to sell from the list I provided, and thinking of holding the remainder at least another 10 years, which would you chose to sell a portion of ? Perhaps the top 3, in order of choice ? Thanks so much.
