Q: Hello, I've been holding UHN in my RRSP for a while, but the stock has taken a significant hit with a 33% loss. Given its current stagnation, I'm thinking of selling it and reallocating the funds. I have a few options in mind: I could buy a call option with a strike price of $79 expiring on Dec 27, which might give me a chance to recover some losses if the stock rebounds. Alternatively, I could sell UHN and use the proceeds to increase my stake in other healthcare stocks, such as LLY or ISRG, which I believe have more potential. Or, I could cut my losses entirely and exit the healthcare insurance sector. Which direction makes the most sense? Thanks

Q: I am very concerned with the performance of Berkshire Hathaway since the announcement of Buffett's retirement—it is down 11% in the past two months, while the S&P 500 is up 12% during these two months. Thanks to BRK-B’s performance in the past few years, it is the biggest single holding in my taxable portfolio. I am considering biting the bullet, paying capital gains taxes, and replacing it with the FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF (BUFR). Can you share your thoughts on this?

Q: Hi Team,

I went looking through the questions and couldn’t find one like this. I am not looking for personal advice but the context is that I am closer to winding down the working years and am trying to build some income into the portfolio through dividend growers.

What would be your top seven dividend growers in both the US and Canada where the starting dividend is at least 1.5% indicating that management sees the dividend as a meaningful part of its capital allocation strategy? Obviously, I would prefer some sector diversification as well.

Please feel free to deduct as many questions as you deem appropriate.

Thanks for the great help!

Q: Hi 5i Team - With gold up substantially the past year or so and now that gold stocks seem to be participating more, I am interested in taking a small position in a few junior exploration companies. I already have two mid tier producers. Are there any exploration companies that that you may be aware of that have reasonable funding and potential for decent discoveries. Past successes of management would also help. Or is there a reputable site or publication that might cover this sort of thing. Thanks.
