Q: I am looking to add energy and health care coverage in my portfolio and am considering DUK, MDT. CVS, and XLV. Would these companies be at the top of your consideration list in their respective spaces. Is now an acceptable time to purchase or might it be prudent to await the fallout in the coming week after last week's corrective activity?

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: Hello
I have owned CVS for a approx two years. I am down just over 10%.
Although rumors of Amazon opening up online pharmacy seemed to have died down. Debt I think (correct me if I am wrong)is holding the stock price down?

I am thinking of dumping it for Medtronics although it is a completely different business although still related to health care. I think more chance of stock price upside?

Can I have your opinion on this change?
Thanks
Stephane

Q: Hi 5i
I currently hold PFE, GUD and COV (although this may go after being patient a little longer) in healthcare.
I am currently considering ABBV as an addition and wondering what your thoughts are on it at this time.
Any other US healthcare suggestions that might have caught your eye recently ?

Thanks
Mike

Q: I have held IVE for many years and to sell I would have capital gains taxes to consider though not what they would have been a couple of months ago. Are there 3 - 5 dividend stocks that you think are solid bets to out perform the index coming out of the downturn over the medium term? (2-3 years)
Thanks Hugh

Q: Am needing to get more health exposure into my portfolio. So the question is with say 20 000 to invest, do you put it all into ZLV ETF or is there more growth potential by buying two or three quality stocks like JNJ, PFE and GILD.
