Q: As the opportunity arises, I need to lessen my overweight position in SIS. Would SYK be an attractive substitute in a sector that, like SIS, is right for the times as the general population ages and are increasingly in deteriorating physical shape. Is there any other company with these dynamics that I should look at?

Q: Good morning,
Can you please comment on the effects if any of the Huawei ban and its effect on Verizon, and would you purchase here? Also, see MDT is up today on no apparent news - would you still purchase at these levels?
Please feel free to deduct 2 credits for 2 questions,
Thank you.

Q: Portfolio analytics says I am low in healthcare so that means pretty much US companies. I already have 3.5% in Abbot but see you referring to Medtronic as attractive quite often. Since they are both in the medical device category, does this make buying MDT to similar of a purchase to ABT? Would I be better switching to MDT or look at something else in the sector. Some capital gains if I do switch.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hey guys,

MDT gets lots of love on here but seems to be losing a bit of steam. The chart is concerning and it appears ready to test the 82.50 mark. Do you continue to like it and how far are you willing to tolerate what appears to be a downtrend? Hold with conviction or is there a point you throw in the towel?

Q: Good morning. I am looking to add to my technology and health care weightings. I’m looking more for dividend income security than growth although growth is always nice. Thanks.

Q: Hi there,

This stock has not recovered at all and seems to be heading down further. I have owned for a long time but this trading pattern seems a bit unusual. Is there some news i have missed. From what i can tell from the last quarters report, all of its business lines are expected to continue growing for the next 3+ years.

Thoughts?

Q: Hello, in your response to Arzoo's question regarding international holdings better held in RRSP, you say that generally International companies in an RRSP will not have dividend withholding taxes. I have MDT in my RRSP, and there is a withholding taxes of 20%. I have phoned my online broker about this, and they told me that if a company's main address is outside of Canada / USA (Medtronic is based in Dublin, Ireland) then there will be a 20% taxes. And this even if the company trades on the NYSE. They told me that the RRSP tax treaty between Canada and the US applys only to US domiciliated companies. Do you agree with that? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Recently, 5i has supported members' suggestions to switch out of JNJ into something else given the legal difficulties that JNJ faces. I generally like to hold indefinitely; given this anticipated time frame, and my preference for safety and a good/growing dividend, do you think I should switch as well? Do you view the alternatives I've listed as less or more risky than JNJ overall? Are there non-pharmaceutical alternatives in the US healthcare space that would provide an equally secure and growing dividend that you would recommend? Thank you.
