Q: Comments on earnings for MDT please. Should I top up a 2% position? The only other healthcare stock I own is GUD. What other healthcare stock (US) would you add currently?
Also a comment on your service. It has paid for itself many times over! Just yesterday saved $1200 by using Norberts gambit. Something I would not have done if not for being part of the 5i community. Thanks for educating the individual investor.

Q: Hi group I believe that Tech + health + gold will be the leaders when we come out of recession. Can you give me a list of 2 ETFs for each sector along with 2 individual stocks you like for Canada + USA.

Q: I am an income oriented investor looking to start withdrawing dividend 5 years from now. If I am looking for a good US high dividend ETF, is SPYD a good choice? I have a small portion, but unsure if I should build it to be a core holding. I liked it because it selects 80 high dividend paying companies from S&P 500. I also have SCHD in my portfolio. There is a small overlap between the two. If SPYD is not good for core holding, can you suggest alternates?

Q: 5i Hello,
I have these EFTs on my RRSP and not feeling happy with them, can you suggest some possible candidates I could switch to, or just sell them all and with profits buy CSU LSPD SHOP GOOG AMZN.
Thank

Q: Hi 5i,
We are older retirees and have held ZWB and ZWH
in our RRIFs for income for many years. I just ran a Quicken report on performance and neither performed particularly well. I am about to switch ZWB for ZEB and ZWH for VGG. We can live without the monthly covered call income and I am assuming the replacements will outperform the covered call ETFs in a recovery. Your comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the service.

Q: I recently read that this company is testing a plant based biodegradable plastic bottle.
Do you have any views?
Would this merit a speculative buy with potential of a huge upside? Thanks
