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: I asked this question yesterday, however it appears it was missed:
"I have some cash to allocate for RRSP & TFSA portfolios and would like your opinion for the above list for both CDA and US.
For RRSP: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today (after the stormy few days) for a more conservative hold 3-5 years, that would potentially have less volatility while continuing to grow sales and earnings.

For TFSA: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today for more growth opportunity and share appreciation in the next 3-5 years.
Please give your reasons for the ones you would choose without sector allocation considerations.
I currently hold TSGI & MX (down on both) but am ok with that."

Q: Hello. Can you point me in the direction of a few solid health sector, dividend paying stock options that would be suitable to hold within an RRSP? I’m looking at a five to eight year horizon and consider myself as a ‘low to moderate’ risk investor.
PS found recent ‘ How to Pick a Stock in 2018’ very helpful. Thanks!

Q: Hello,
I would like some names to consider (2 or 3) for the healthcare sector.

I already own GUD in Canada (TFSA). This is for my RRSP so I am looking for a more conservative name.

I know you don't cover the US but would like names from the US or even international for geographic diversification. Also, for personal reasons, I do not want any drug companies (pharma or biotech).

Thanks as always for your help.

Q: Hi team, I would like to add some US health care (which I know you don't cover) to my non-registered account for a long term hold and was wondering which one you like better between SYK and ISRG. I am ok with some risk.
Thanks

Q: Good evening 5i gang. Stryker has dropped with the talk about Boston Scientific purchase. Could this be a good time to purchase more. ? I have half a position. Should we expect more volitility?
Also..I just want to say thankyou. I joined in around March or April 2014. I am up 50%. That was one of the best decisions of my life.
Thank you

Q: 10,000 Americans a day will reach the age of 65 and this will continue for the next 19 years. That's 3,500,000 a year times 19 years. More walkers, hips, knees, wheelchairs, nursing homes, retirement homes, pain pills, drugs. More of what Savaria ( SIS ) produces. Great for Savaria !

What other Canadian & U.S. Companies will benefit from this great explosion of aging of America . Is Canada in a similar situation. Baby Boombers, Bob

Q: The above group of companies, so called bond proxies medical supply and consumer staples do not seem to be participating in the Trump boost post election. Many have sold off sharply. Do you view this as a buying opportunity?
