Q: Hi folks,
I am looking to replace GILD in my TFSA. I currently hold ABBV, LLY, PFE and WELL in other accounts. I am looking for a name that pays a good dividend and has some potential for growth. Can you suggest a couple of names I can take a look at or should I add one of the names I already hold.
Thanks

Q: I am considering selling PFE for tax loss. In your opinion is this a good time to sell? Secondly - if I did sell - what might be a good proxy to buy in the meantime and/or - would it be beneficial to rebuy PFE after 30 days. I already have a 4% position in ABBV.

Q: Realizing that PFE's dividend has been rising annually at only about 3% in recent years, and recognizing that a portion of "moving the growth needle" will be done by acquisition, would it still be a good buy at around the $27 level (longterm technical support) ?

Also:

-How does their debt situation compare to its historical measure?

- Do you have any thoughts regarding AI in the sector, and whether or not PFE is currently using it ?

Q: hi,
I own these 5 equities in my USD account, plus a reasonable amount of cash that could be deployed. im fairly comfortable with all of them, are you? if I was to shift to an all growth strategy within this account, what would you suggest selling ( if any ), and what would you suggest buying, either new names or current holdings ( with a reasonable target purchase price, if able )? I would be looking for growth companies with positive earnings/earnings growth ( ie nothing highly speculative right now ). cheers and enjoy the long weekend. chris

Q: I would like to increase my exposure to US large cap healthcare, currently own PFE and ISRG. Can you recommend another company that would be complementary to these holdings or would you simply add to the existing positions? Also own some smaller names in this sector e.g. WELL but am interested in increasing the large cap exposure. Thank you.

Q: Can you recommend 5 top value Canadian and 5 USA companies that have solid long-term businesses, with great management, a good P/E and have no debt or very low debt. Would really like to find a solid core of buy and hold names in any sector. It would appear to me that SLF would be one good choice.
Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
I am down 25% with Verizon. As an income investor, should I just hang on and collect dividends as I wait for the turnaround or sell, take the hit and get something else?

Q: Is inflation finally under control?
Will we have a recession? How deep could it be?
Are our banks safe?
Are we losing control of our country to others that seem to play by different rules? We just kicked a Chinese diplomat out of Canada for threatening the family of a member of the Canadian parliament. How will China retaliate?
Russia is still at war against Ukraine. How is that impacting the world economy?
Climate change is threatening economies in counless ways. Almost all negative.

So here's my question. In your opinion, what Canadian and global companies offer a service so necessary or a product that is in such high demand that they will persevere in these troubled times and make profits for their investors?
