I am a long term investor. and , could you provide 2-3 other US names, with a reasonable balance of growth and downside protection in this market. cheers, chris

Q: Is there something to replace WELL in the Healthcare sector in Canada or US, ETF inclued?

Q: Dear 5i
From my readings it appears that LLY,ABBV and UNH would be your favourite healthcare stocks and in that order . Would you agree ?
Between my wife and i we have 3 RRSP accounts . Would you recommend putting the number one healthcare pick LLY in all three accounts or maybe LLY in one account , ABBV in another account and UNH in the third account ?
The same applies to DOL and ATD which seem to be your favourite consumer staples stocks . Earnings forecasts look better for DOL but ATD is liked a lot as well though ATDs earnings forecast isn`t as good as DOL .Do i put DOL in all three accounts or and DOL in one account and ATD in another and a combination of both in the third account ?
Please deduct credits accordingly .
Thanks

Q: I hold these 3 healthcare stocks. Thinking of adding Lily. Do you see too much overlap in this combination or can you recommend others for diversification?

Thanks very much.

Q: I just sold off my Biogen holding and am looking for a replacement within the healthcare sector. I held Biogen for over 3 years and exited with a nice return, but I have to say that I did not enjoy the wild ride and price swings as it seemed to trade solely on its new Alzheimer’s drug advancements and setbacks. So now I am looking to replace it with something a little more stable but still with the expectation of slow and steady growth. What would be your top 1 or 2 picks be today for both the US and Canada that might fit. I already own Savaria and XLV so something besides these.

Q: Dear 5i
I am lacking stock exposure in 3 different sectors , namely Healthcare , Materials and consumer staples . If you could only pick one or two per category what would they be .
Thanks

Q: UNH is my only US healthcare name. Could you please suggest 2 other names to add today with a balance of growth and safety. Thank you.

Q: With most stocks drifting lower, can you find and name a few stocks you like with good upward momentum? Doesn't matter of size/sector. Thanks.

Q: Re your answer to Cheryl today, and your recommendation for 8 stocks that have been stable and performed well over time. Can you recommend a handful of US stocks that fulfill the same goals. Not concerned over sectors.
Thanks, Peter

Q: Which of these would you invest in for growth? How do they compare in terms of risk, valuation, and upside?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please provide your top 5 US healthcare stock picks for growth (with above-average risk) over the next 5 years, and include a brief comment why.

Could you also suggest 3 "safer" options.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as warranted.

Many thanks!

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!

Thanks for your help and guidance deduct credits as you see fit

Q: Hi again. A couple days ago Rose was asking about your top 5 US stock picks and you gave the above 5. Wasn't she asking about USA stocks and if yes, what would they be? If I misunderstood, they I would ask what would your top 5 USA stocks be please? Thanks again for this wonderful service.

Q: What you recommend staying with Abbvie? Like the dividend but down on stock price. Is there another health care or other US stock with similar interest rate? I have a v concentrated portfolio. Thx so much.

Q: Hello 5i
Recently you replied to a question regarding covered calls. You said you like high volatility companies for this strategy. In other places you said that you do not tend to write calls on core holdings. Just wondering what stocks you currently prefer for this strategy, that are not, or maybe, your core holdings
thanks

Q: Hi group markets really tough to read right now ? what you 3 top sector's c/w 3 top picks in each / ideal entry price /short blurb on each.
I am particularly interested in Health care as I am presently below target. I just sold LLY because info on Diabetic drug was getting poor reviews that proved to be untrue so not am looking to get back in. so what a good entry point ? Thanks for your help

Q: what would you suggest for a solid health care position in Canada or the USA? I have UNH. I was looking at HHL but I would like your thoughts on a stock or two. I hope you and the team are enjoying the summer. Thanks Dan.

Q: Can you comment on the earnings and whether this pullback is a buying opportunity? My concern is that the stock has a premium valuation - would you have other suggestions you prefer in the health care space (pharma or otherwise)? Thanks

Q: Would appreciate your guidance on building a healthcare portfolio with these names and any other suggestions divided into 2 categories [1] core [to constitute the bulk of the portfolio] and [2] growth, for a 3+ year hold. If you could add a few thoughts on each as to why you like or not, that would be most helpful.
